esinkin Bluetooth Receiver Wireless, NFC-Enabled Audio Adapter 4.0 for HD Home Stereo Music Streaming Sound System for 3.5mm (AUX and RCA)

Easy to hookup and works as it should, great buy!!

1.) It's a Bluetooth receiver only, not a transmitter. It RECEIVES audio via Bluetooth radio from remote devices such as laptops, smartphones, desktop computers, or any devices that transmit audio over a Bluetooth carrier signal - only one device at a time. It WILL NOT SEND/TRANSMIT a signal over the air TO any other device. I'm not trying to belabor the point or be sarcastic, but some of the questions I've seen seem to indicate confusion as to whether it transmits and receives, or just receives. 2.) It feeds the audio it receives to an amplifier as a LINE-LEVEL signal via a stereo signal cable (provided) - RCA to 3.5mm or vice-versa. You can use the cable either way depending on your amplifier's input jacks. Both the RCA and Aux. jacks on the Esinkin are line-level OUTPUTS; just use whichever one you need. If necessary, you can use your own cords or adapters to make the correct connections to your amp. 3.) Will it drive speakers? ONLY IF they are Powered Speakers, meaning each speaker has its own built-in amplifier. It WILL NOT drive non-powered speakers directly without amplification. Headphones? Probably; I haven't tried it. It would depend on the headphones, and since there is no volume control on the receiver, you would have to be able to adjust the volume at the source: phone, laptop, etc. Proceed with caution so you don't wreck your headphones or your hearing with an initial super loud blast. You know how getting blasted makes it nearly impossible to find the volume control or rip the phones off your head without hurting yourself. 4.) Power Supply - It comes with its own plug-in supply and cord, and that's the only way to power it. It WILL NOT run off a USB supply or port on a computer. The input is keyed to the cord supplied with the AC adapter. If that fails, you could probably find replacements. 5.) Performance: I am pleased with the quality of the sound. I use it as an input to a 160 watt rms (80 X 2) Onkyo TX-8050 stereo receiver driving 2 pretty decent Pioneer speaker systems from the early 1990s, and it sounds about as good as strong FM reception or CD playback. I don't use the NFC function, so can't comment on that. Range is easily 25 feet, which is no problem for the layout of our living/dining areas. It seems to sync up quickly with my Bluetooth devices. I would recommend it, based on our experience so far.

This has given me an easy and affordable update to an expensive stereo receiver that still works great but lacks support for streaming. I am pleased with the added capability to now stream music from the phone or tablet to a nice stereo system instead of just a portable bluetooth speaker, which is not full stereo. As others have commented, though, you need to crank up the volume higher than you would for other components. I also noted signal interference and stuttering if the microwave oven was turned on. Not perfect, but a solid but nonetheless.

I’ve really come to love this unit. I’m using it on my Yamaha surround sound receiver to play our Apple devices wirelessly. The sound quality is great. If there’s Blutooth lag I don’t notice it. If your stereo has an available digital optical input or a coaxial (rca phono plug) SPDIF input, get a Bluetooth receiver that will output to those. They are digital formats and will be better than analog RCA outs like on this. In my case the the outputs were not available. That said the audio is crisp and clean and I can hear no hissing extraneous noise where the noise floor would be. Some tips on setting this up. The device always pops up as discoverable. I live in an apartment and my neighbors haven’t taken control of it yet. But for most people it means this will be easy to connect. Turn your stereo volume to a decent level. If you have level that’s too low, and you try boosting volume from your wireless device it might lift the noise floor and you might hear unwanted sounds. Once the stereo is up, you can then control volume from your wireless device. In my case Apple IOS. Coverage has been good, but I live in A small two bedroom apartment. This is a good buy. Like I mentioned if you have an available optical or SPDIF input, get a unit with those outputs. My optical is being used by the tv to pass digital surround sound signals. The link feature on this unit only works with Android, so having Apple devices it doesn’t work for me.

This thing works exceptionally well! It turned an old Onkyo receiver from the 90's into a much more modern, useful sound system that supports my bluetooth entertainment, including Spotify. This blue-tooth receiver will immediately pair with a familiar device, meaning that I can simply turn on my stereo receiver and immediately play tunes stored on Spotify.

It's small, unobtrusive, has decent range, and works perfectly for the speaker setup I have at work. There's not much else to say about it, which is exactly how it should be; just plug it in and go. It's a great device for the price. The only complaint I'd have is that the instructions are pretty useless. They have some pictures that are small enough that you can't make out what they're trying to tell you, so all you need to know is that it works like a cash register payment system. Tap your phone to the top of it and it will ask to pair the devices; when you come back to use it again later, just tap your phone to it again and it'll connect. Really can't be easier to use, but the instructions manage to make it unclear on what to do somehow.

This handy little bluetooth receiver is the one that I was looking for to bring my old stereo system to 21st century technology. I just plugged this thing to my receiver's AUX input and instantly, my stereo is now bluetooth ready. Connection was simple and quick. The box contains the power plug, 3.5mm stereo cable and RCA cable. There is nothing much to say except it works! Update: There is a significant drop in volume. I wasn't aware of this for several months until I used a different bluetooth receiver. It startled me when I played my music through my phone. I had to turn the volume down. On both occassions, I have full volume on my smartphone and about half on my 15 inch Gem Sound powered speaker. The Esinkin is considerably lower in volume than the other bluetooth receiver or it is just perfect while the other one boosts the volume. In any case, I'll keep the other one and give the Esinkin to a friend or family member. A few days ago I had just returned a DAC for this same reason, a considerable decrease in volume when connected. Better off without it.
