    I bought this a little over a month ago and I've been using it almost every day since. It turns any device with an auxiliary jack into a device with Bluetooth connectivity. I connect it to my phone and then play music with my car radio, my worksite radio, and my surround sound system at home. It sounds great and it goes for a long time on a charge. If you're looking for a product that does this I can recommend this one.

    Overall, a good product. The battery lasts longer than 4 hours it's rated for. Really easy to connect to. It's usually in standby mode and all I have to do is tell my phone to connect. Only need to power it on if you haven't used it for a couple days. The bad news is it gives a lot of background feedback into the radio when charging and using the unit at the same time. This could be my power adapter, it could be my power source, or it could be the unit itself. I haven't looked any further into it yet. The battery will easily last me all day, so for now, I just unplug the charger when I'm using it, and plug it back in at night

    Awesome Bluetooth Device

    This little $29 gem allows me to link my ALEXA to my SONOS sound system in about 1 minute. I just set my ALEXA to talk to a Bluetooth speaker and selected the SSID that this little gem transmits... DONE! You can instantly link your phone to your home sound system or even to a PA System by plugging it into one of the stereo input jacks on the system... like for the CD player. So cool!!!

    This device is so easy to use. You just plug it into the aux jack in your car and power it on. What I like most is that you can connect up to six different devices, it will remember them all. The audio is clear and crisp and the bass comes through without any distortion. This is a quick an easy way to wirelessly stream your music. Keep in mind this is not a used as a bluetooth device for making phone calls.

    The device works excellent. Fits nicely in the car. Battery lasts for ever. The only gripe is that it's difficult to distinguish between the device being off, on, or in pairing mode. There's a blue flashing light and a delay after you hit the button. I still say this is an excellent product because even if it is left on, the battery will last weeks. I've never had an issue other than jimmying with it to make sure it's turned on or off. The sound is exactly as if it's a direct aux cord and again it fits nicely. Nice product.

    Only two things to mention is first the button to press is small and not reused up too well so pressing it can often challenging Second the device does not automatically pair with your phone ....especially if you are returning after a while Otherwise sound quality is quite good This is my second one which I replaced the previous one with after five plus years of use, and the 3mm plug simply became loos causing static

    Super easy to use and connect ! It has decent battery life and range but overall it’s amazing. Mostly use this for my car because it doesn’t have bluetooth but had a headphone jack plus ! although, it is kinda easy to lose since it’s small.

    Got the devices as a suggestion from store employee to connect to a transmitter of the same type and manufacturer. It did not work for what I initially wanted to use it for (Transmitting and receiving blue tooth audio from a studio monitor system for live performance-too much delay) but I am now using as a receiver for my speaker system and using the audio signal from the Bluetooth audio on my PC. So far it works great.

    I bought this for a friend that doesn't use technology much but wanted to listen to music and sermons on her Bose radio. This receiver was easy to connect to her radio using the RCA adapter and easily connected to her MP3 player via Bluetooth. She likes that it automatically connects every time so she doesn't have to search for the device! She hasn't had any issues with it and thinks its great!

    GREAT PRODUCT.Good quality audio, good distance from phone, easy to set up with multiple devices. Seems to stay on for very long periods of time without fail and reconnects when back in range. 6+ hours wireless, can remain on AC while playing music back (thank goodness, who would buy one that charges in the same hole it plays from???)

    I'm using the device with my car stereo Aux port to connect my iPhone. I had no trouble pairing. Audio quality is good. The device is small, which is convenient in the car. However, the button to turn on/off is tiny and hard to find when fumbling in the dark car. I don't believe I'm getting the promised 12+ hours per full battery charge, so I keep the provided USB cable in the car so that I can charge while using it.

    The device was easy to connect on multiple devices. The sound quality is good with no jitter. The battery last a good long while, Better than I expected. It would have been advantageous if it had some kind of a dash mount feature. Even a couple of strips of Velcro would have been nice.

    I used this product in my GTI with the aux cable and it works great dont get me wrong but there was a little ringing noise im obsessed with good sound so it somewhat bugged me but when i got use to it. It wasn't bad at all. The bluetooth is very easy to connect too and is a great way to spend less money instead of getting a new head unit with Bluetooth. Plus its a 3.5 mm so you can plug it into anything! The sound is amazing but it seemed like i lost the bass in my system but it still sounded great. I do recommend this product. The only down side is that you have to charge the battery. I got tired of charging it and forgot too. So i just hooked it up with my home theater system so i can play my music from my iPhone. It is awesome. I just leave the USB charger in it and left it alone and it works awesome! I recommend buying it and trying it and seeing if you like it and if you dont just return it. But make sure you do in the 14 days policy or 30 for the elite rewards program.

    ALURATEK Bluetooth Device ... YES!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Best Buy salesman, Phil at the Cordova Mall in Pensacola, Florida, taught me quite a bit about the Aluratek Bluetooth device which happened after returning a Sony external speaker for my Amazon Echo I bought earlier from Walmart (BTW, I paid $100 over the cost at Best Buy, but, my fault, I never shopped around). Phil showed me how the Aluratek connects with the Echo and pairs with my home stereo system. It was a breeze to set up, but now, I wish there was a built in remote control that would allow an ON/OFF feature to the Bluetooth unit. It’s a hassle to manage that function when it’s not in use. I would like to pass on that I’m very, very happy with the Aluratek device and even happier I saved $200.

    I bought this to stream audio from my smartphone through my boat's audio system. It was easy to set up and connect to my phone. The audio is good but, like many bluetooth signals, suffers a bit on total frequency response. I use a separate in-line power booster which has an equalizer built into it along with the bluetooth. This gives me more control of the high and low frequencies. Overall, it works well.
