I own an extraordinary & expensive music system at home, but since I bought it years back, it does not have Bluetooth connectivity ! But I just simply can’t throw it off !! isn’t it ? Its so good in delivering Super Bass, Excellent Music and I just want to make it Bluetooth enabled, that’s all.
So my quest for the best Bluetooth aux adapter goes with comparison of the top seller brands like Amason, HomeSpot, Mpow & Logitech, as normally seen they all are sold in similar price range and hence it becomes difficult to choose from !!
- What is a Aux Bluetooth Audio Adapter ? (someone may call it as Bluetooth dongle)
An adapter which allows music streaming to any 3.5 mm aux Jack enabled devices such as Hi Fi Stereo, smartphones, home theater systems, tablets, iPod docks, TV or amplifiers. It may be only receiver (one way) or transmitter/receiver (two way) type sending analogue signals via Bluetooth to system. - Can I Use existing music system or TV speakers with my smartphone ?
Yes, that is basic purpose 🙂 of course you should have 3.5 mm aux jack (AV port) provision to your home stereo system or TV. This is best option to save precious dollars to replace music system with the Bluetooth speaker.
So here is simple comparison table below, with text colored in Orange, Red, Green which will help you quickly understand strength and weakness at a glance.
