I love that this item was affordable and it made my older stereo receiver Bluetooth compatible. Much cheaper than buying a new receiver.

This Bluetooth receiver was the first one I purchased, and it works almost flawlessly. The only issue I had was alternator noise interference, which was minimal and easily corrected by an inline ferrite core. Outside of that, no issues. Produces crisp and clear sound.

Aluratek - iStream works as advertised. It is easy to pair with any device that has a blue tooth output. I didn't notice any deterioration in sound quality when I connected it to my Onkyo receiver and paired it with my Apple products, I Pad, I pod etc. But when I paired it with my computer running Windows 10, I noticed a slight loss of bass. But listening to country and classical music it didn't make any significant difference compared to wired connections. It worked well in my car also. But the volume had to be increased. Please remember that the output is not of CD quality.

This is the 3rd one I've purchased. I have one in each vehicle including my boat. It works well even in the hot sun. Battery life is excellent and it remembers my friends phones so they can connect as well.

Item pairs easily and works great. I used velcro to mount it to my Harley. It plugged right into the AUX jack so that I can use bluetooth from my spotify account on my Ultra. Only small issue is that the cord is very thin and fragile.

Works great in my car connected through the aux mini 3.5 plug. Connects with no issues, was able to use it right away. Nice to be able to connect phone to stream music on a factory radio with no Bluetooth capabilities. Much cheaper than replacing the car's radio.

These things work great to update some of your older speakers or stereo to Bluetooth capable. I just wish you could have more than connection ID as we have 2 and need to turn off the ones we don’t want to connect to.

I needed a way to get music into my Bose Sound dock because it had the traditional Apple connector and not the lightning. I plugged it in the back of the sound dock and connected it with my Iphone and Ipad and the problem was solved. Worked well and connected easily.

This product is an inexpensive solution for anyone who wants to utilize their home stereo to play audio from their Bluetooth enabled device. I wish the range was a bit wider, but the product works great. Easy instructions and connection. Highly recommend.

Used this item to enable bluetooth connectivity for a Bose speaker that had a dock (iphone 4 era) and 3.5mm wired connection. I have had it for a couple of months. This item works great, battery life is decent...meets my needs and I would recommend it.

Good for the most part but in the car you get static noise in between tracks when there's no audio signal which is a bit annoying.

I use this to connect my iPhone 6 to my Bose docking station while getting ready in the morning. The sound is not distorted. The performance is great as long as the phone and receiver are on the same level/plane. Otherwise, the signal may drop.

Pros: Internal battery, no power source required. (Reason I bought it.)
Cons: Doesn't automatically connect. IE, you leave range, come back, and it doesn't automatically reconnect. Also, why did they attach that wire dongle? A 3.5 mm female jack would've made a million times more sense. If you are plugging this directly into a car without Bluetooth but with an aux input, this makes sense. For all other applications, this makes little sense. If you have existing audio equipment that you want to add Bluetooth capabilities to, just make sure you have a 3.5 mm input and that a 3" cable makes sense for you. Didn't make sense for me.
