Belkin’s New Receiver Grants Your Old Stereo Bluetooth Powers


If you think it’s a crime that you’ve got to shell out top dollar to get a good-sounding wireless speaker system when you’ve already got a perfectly good wired stereo, Belkin has a cheap solution.

For $70, the Belkin HD Bluetooth Receiver pairs with your Bluetooth enabled device and routes your hot jams to your existing stereo via coax, optical, or 3.5mm audio connections. Even better, if you’re using an Android phone running Jelly Bean, Bluetooth pairing is as easy as an NFC tap. Belkin doesn’t specify which codecs its new receiver accepts, but, presumably, that “HD” in the product name is supposed to tell us the receiver will not mangle your tunes. [Belkin via Businesswire]
