Bluetooth has revolutionized the technological world and allowed us all to integrate wireless devices with ease - thanks to the best Bluetooth receiver. From speakers to smart hubs, wireless keyboards to headphones, Bluetooth is a highly convenient, low-power and low-cost method of seamlessly linking devices for a clutter-free and easy technological life. Once a phone is paired it will auto connect when the SoundSync is powered on. That means, provided you leave Bluetooth switched on in your phone, all you need to do to start streaming when you get in the car is switch the SoundSync on and open your favourite music app.

My 2011 car was on the edge of Bluetooth, so it has connectivity for phone calls, but not for music. This little device fixes that. I just connect the phone to it via Bluetooth and connect to the car's stereo system using the AUX port. The sound quality is very good -- easily as good as with a cable.

If someone is looking for a way to extend the life of existing audio technology and incorporate it with today’s Bluetooth connectivity, look no further than the Anker AK-A3341011 Soundsync A3341 Bluetooth 2-In-1 Transmitter and Receiver. This versatile device clearly bridges the gap between older and newer technologies. In a world where music accompanies our every step, finding a reliable and versatile Bluetooth receiver is crucial. As an avid music enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Anker Soundsync A3352 Bluetooth Receiver, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. In this comprehensive review, I will share my personal experience with this innovative device, covering all the key points that make it an outstanding choice for music streaming on the go.

As with other data transfer technologies, like HDMI and USB ports and Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth has improved over the years. The numbers that appear after the Bluetooth name let you know which particular generation a device carries, and each has its particular parameters.

Setting up the Anker Soundsync A3352 was a breeze. The device came with clear instructions, and I had it up and running in no time. The user-friendly interface made navigating the receiver's functions effortless. Pairing with my devices was a seamless process, and the receiver remembered the devices, automatically reconnecting when in range.

Who needs a Bluetooth receiver?

The SoundSync is extremely easy to use. Once it receives power via the USB connector it can be switched on, after which pairing is very straightforward. A long press on the power button enables pairing and then you can select the device from the phone’s Bluetooth menu. The A3352's impressive 12-hour battery life ensures uninterrupted music enjoyment throughout the day. During my road trips and outdoor adventures, the battery lasted without any issues, keeping the music flowing. Additionally, the device supports charging while in use, so I never had to worry about running out of power. This is also the case for car stereos that still use 3.5mm aux-in connections. With smartphones such as the Apple iPhone 12 no longer supporting hardware for physical headphone connections, anyone wanting to listen to Spotify or Google Maps as they drive will benefit from a simple plug-and-play Bluetooth receiver upgrade. The biggest downside to the Anker SoundSync Drive is the AUX port requirement. The AUX port isn't a downside. Far from it. It's miles ahead of the FM transmitter, in terms of audio performance. However, a significant number of older stereos don't have AUX ports. And if your stereo doesn't have an AUX port, this kit has no value to you. Bluetooth is a wireless technology used by devices to share data over short distances via radio frequencies. Bluetooth replaces the need for a wired connection between two or more devices.

This device does allow using it for phone calls if you set it to, allowing hands-free phone in the car. As I mentioned, my car already has Bluetooth hands-free phone capability so I have turned this feature off. When you connect the device with your phone you get a choice to use it for just phone, just music, or both. I chose just music. This kit received a C for call quality. It's not great. It's not even good. But it's not terrible either. I'd call it "serviceable." In the past, this low grade would have been a big deal, but since studies show hands-free calling isn't safer than hands-full calls, I've deemphasized this feature. It's still a consideration, but only if you're parked.This is the same frequency used by other household devices, such as smart home devices, radio-controlled toys and kitchen appliances. Because of its popularity, it is prone to getting cluttered, resulting in device interference. It is also the frequency used by Wi-Fi routers and might be one of the reasons your house suffers from patchy and inconsistent internet connections. Read our article on the best Wi-Fi routers to grab a router that can transmit on a much faster 5GHz frequency.

Bluetooth receiver in laptop Bluetooth generations explained: Bluetooth 5.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and more Sound quality is very impressive. Music sounds as crisp and defined as it would if connected to the aux directly by a high-quality cable, so the limiting factor isn’t the SoundSync but the audio system in your car. You can also use the SoundSync at home with any stereo or speaker that supports an aux input. Additionally, some may want a Bluetooth receiver to transfer data and files between two devices easily. For example, between a smartphone and a desktop PC, or tablet and laptop.This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. The next step up from DAB is DAB+. It refines the DAB technology to allow even more stations onto one frequency. Be careful however, while DAB+ can accept regular DAB, this isn’t true the other way around. Look for DAB+ or even in-car WiFi setups to futureproof yourself. Will it fit my car?
