esinkin Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Music Streaming Sound System, Wireless Audio Adapter Works with Smartphones and Tablets, Bluetooth Receiver for Home Stereo

I wanted to listen to Sirius and YouTube through my old school 1977 Scott receiver and speakers in my home office. This little unit is the perfect solution!I hooked it up to the AUX connection on the back of the receiver with the provided wire and plugged it into the switched outlet in the back of my Scott. Then I paired it with my iPhone and iPad. The whole process only took a couple of minutes.It worked on the first try and sounds fantastic! I especially like that it goes on when I turn on the receiver and pairs itself automatically. I have used it dozens of times and and only touched it during installation. Totally seamless. I wish I had this years ago. Highly recommended.

I am using this in my workshop at home to feed streaming music, like Amazon Music playlists, to my Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin 2 iPod player. It has the obsolete 30-pin iPod dock connector (thanks a lot Apple, yet another planned obsolescence “feature”) but is a truly excellent sounding machine. Not wanting to let it go yet, I tried a different Bluetooth adapter with the 30-pin connector and it did not work directly or via AUX input cable. It played and dropped out repetitively continuously. Maybe that’ the B&W digital sound not playing nice, but the AUX input SHOULD have worked. Well, this one seems more robust and not too intrusive. I like that it scan stay powered on, so I can just walk in and start sending music to it. I like the cable a lot: either twin RCA or AUX jacks, so you can just swap it around for either input into the player, speaker, stereo unit… whatever. Versatile! I’m going to try reversing it to see if the sound quality improves. It sounds fine, but the Zeppelin is capable of truly open transparent sound. Sadly, its not simple to get to streaming digital uncompressed music. Amazon seems to compress it a lot. At least, in my limited experience and investigations. I like the looks of the unit, and it is small and VERY light. One user said they stuck it down with some adhesive-backed velcro. Nice idea. I may do the same to some 1/16” micro-plywood and have the B&W Zep’ sit on the wood and hold the BT unit in place.

The media could not be loaded. If this review helps in any way Positive or Negative Please hit HELPFUL!!! It will help encourage me to continue my real reviews of products I've purchased.Pros: $Priced under $25 / Synced fast to my phone/ Nice soft tone on speakers while syncing to let you know BT is discoverable (Note if you don't want then just synch device before turning on your speaker system/ Small/ Blue light is a nice touch/ Comes with cable and power adapterCons: BT is not new standard (That said I think new standard was designed for more than just audio and since this is purely audio system does not appear to be much of a limitation), Cable provided works but if you want high end sound you need better connectors (will cost you maybe $10 to $20 on up depending on how high quality connectors you want to get for hoking to this system), I can understand the power adapter, but since it is 5 volts and low amperage I think a USB cord option would be nice. Lastly no battery powered option although it would not be hard to rig up to a power bank.Okay... I've had this a day now and as you can guess I love this device. The range for the Bluetooth is awesome in that I can bring my phone all over the house and not loose BT connection to my stereo. Only thing I don't like about writing a review like this is that it also makes a good reason to raise the price.. Okay I guess with that said if the price gets above $27 for this great device I would look at my other options if I were to get some for friends.UPDATE: 9/27/2018 Yes there was a lot of background noise at the beginning of my review as my neighbor is having an underground pool installed in his yard; it was not noise from this device.Thank you for reading my review:Again Please give this review a thumbs up. It is real. I've been on Amazon as a customer for over twenty years. I don't get compensated for my reviews. (Not that I wouldn't like to be.) I pay for Amazon Prime so I get any of the perks that come with my Prime membership.

Got this after I realized I could add Bluetooth to my 1990 Pioneer stereo. Took it out of box. Dropped it on cement floor. No damage done. Anyway, easy to pair with cell. I did have to use an RCA cable to hook up properly. A double ended male cable that is. Hooked to AUX connector on stereo. It worked fine. Distortion at high volume levels, but to be expected. Stays connected good with cell. I like it. Does what it says

This is my first Amazon product review where there are not enough stars to give. I'd give this BT adapter 6 if I could. The Bluetooth connection for audio is maybe the best BT device I've every used. If you've used Bluetooth before, you know pairing can be a hassle. And when you disconnect and come back later, reconnecting sometimes takes extra effort. Occasionally with some BT devices, the best remedy for connecting is to "forget the device" and then pair and reconect. I'm mentioning all of this because of what I've experienced all too often with BT before -- and what I HAVE NOT experienced at all with this Esinkin BT audio adapter. The BT connection is almost instant. I never have any issues at all. In fact, two people here have connected at once. I have an older but excellent audio amplifier and this adapter easily connects to one of the audio inputs. Then I effortlessly connect my smart phone, tablet or computer via esiinkiin Bluetooth to play songs and podcasts through my studio speakers. I just hope it lasts forever. I highly, highly recommend this product.
