3.5mm jack to wireless adapter

[tff]

I recently set-up an old Altec-Lansing PC speaker system in my garage and was surprised how great it sounded. Only issue is that I have to connect it to my phone or ipad to play Sirius/Pandora.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good wireless to 3.5mm jack adapater?
Spotted the below one that seems to get good reviews.

I've had this Bluetooth receiver for a couple years now. It was about $20 cheaper when I bought it but it's still worth it. I think it's a clone of a much more expensive one but it's a good one.

Depending on conditions I get 50-100' useable range and crystal clear audio. Cannot tell the difference between it and a direct connection.

It has rca outputs but an rca to 1/8" stereo cable is easy to get.

I have 4 of these, one in each car and one on my garage safety headphones. They have held up ~2 years, then I get whatever the new version is.

I have had this one for a while. I bought it initially for attaching to my job site radio. The only "problem" with it is that is it battery operated. I ended up grabbing an old phone charger and just leaving it plugged in so it stays on all of the time.

I've bought 3 or 4 different cheap (<$20) bluetooth to 3.5mm jack wireless adapters over the years, and I've had good results with all of them. I get about 40 feet of range usually.

Use this tronics thingy. Switch on side, for trans or receive.
Good for about 30 feet.

Ya I put combo BT transmitter/receiver on my Milwaukee M12 job site radio years ago


Is a Jet Tech...never had any problems with it. Battery lasts a decent amount of time

Came from Amazon. There are numerous ones available. Most aren't really expensive


Its much smaller the MP3

Sometimes you get a good cheap one, sometimes you don't. I fought with cheap ones for a couple of years. I'd get bluetooth in one area, but not the other. Or, I'd get bluetooth in both, but not at the same time. Or the damn things would just die. A couple of years ago I bought one with good reviews. I've got music all over the house now........ amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQYYDNJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Have any old unused smart phones lying around? Bluetooth is kinda wonky. I'd just connect an old smart phone to it and leave it on Pandora/Sirius. Can go on ebay and a Moto E2 or something for like ten bucks if you don't have any laying around.

The Mrs. and I have these for transmitting bluetooth radio on our jet skis. (They transmit or receive.) They are very basic, take a lot of punishment, and have performed really well.

This device can either share a 3.5mm audio output with two devices or can go the other way and interface your Bluetooth to a speaker. Pretty slick.

I hooked an Amazon Echo Dot (Alexa) up to my receiver. She can play Pandora, Sirius, Amazon Music, or a ton of other stuff. Then I don't have to worry about leaving the garage with my phone in my pocket and losing the connection or running down the battery in my phone.
