Streaming music anywhere

WHAT Kanex AirBlue

HOW MUCH $49

WHAT IT IS Bluetooth receiver connects to the Aux In of car or home stereos to stream music from smartphones or other Bluetooth devices with the A2DP profile (a Bluetooth device available the last couple of years). Powered by rechargeable 10-hour battery.

WHAT'S GOOD Small and convenient, controls the music from about 30 feet away. Connects to sound systems that have 3.5-mm inputs or RCA phono inputs so you can listen to your phone or tablet's music over big speakers, even in your car, if it has an Aux In jack.

WHAT'S NOT Playback will have some hiss, but music files encoded in the AAC format will fare better than MP3 music. The instruction booklet is printed in type so small that it's almost unreadable.
