Do you wish your car radio or home speaker system was Bluetooth enabled? With a bluetooth receiver, which likely connects via an AUX or RCA cord, it could be. In this article, we’ll tell you about some of our top picks for bluetooth receivers. We’ve picked these items based on their battery life, connectivity, and the quality of the sound they can produce. 

How are these devices powered?

Some devices will need to be plugged into a power source in order to function. Usually, these devices will have a USB port that is only used for powering the device. Other bluetooth receivers have a rechargeable battery that, depending on the unit, may last anywhere from twelve to sixteen hours. 

How many devices can I connect at one time?

Most Bluetooth receivers will allow you to connect two devices at one time. In most cases, switching back and forth between either connected device is pretty easy. Also, some receivers will automatically connect, while others may require you to restart the connection each time the device is turned on, or when your Bluetooth-enabled device is in range. 

As you shop for bluetooth receivers, here are a few of the things that you’ll want to keep in mind:

It’s easy to pair this device with your Echo so that you can control your music with voice commands. However, you must connect your receiver to your speaker with an audio cable, and not with the Echo itself.
