jace1969 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 This is for my elderly dad who don't want yet more wires everywhere. Have a good Mini Hi-Fi ''Panasonic'' but it has no bluetooth and wanted to move the speaker away from him a bit. Does anyone know of any cheap ones as quality aint a big thing just that they work ok and not very small,around shoe box size is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Not quite the answer you are looking for Jace - but similarly we bought my late Father cordless headphones, so he could listen to the Hi Fi / T.V. anywhere in the property at the volume he desired - might be useful for your Father ?

alexp999 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 You can add bluetooth to any HiFi with an aux port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I have some Earphones and work great for the tv and if he is asleep and i want them on. Why the Speakers is so we can both hear it. I see that Alex where you just pop them into the Aux socket,is there power both sides like from Speakers and the adaptor you plug in,not seen a lot about as there all single or small Speakers.

jace1969 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Would this be ok or something like this as there are cheaper ones on eBay. What version would be best like v-2 / v-4 . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5mm-Bluetooth-A2DP-Wireless-Stereo-Music-Transmitter-Audio-Adapter-For-iPod-TV-/231050769203?hash=item35cbb2f333:g:pKsAAOSweW5VUapZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Roberts Stream 93i does internet radio and streams spotify from phone, listen to stations from all over the world. Compact unit with 2.1 speakers sounds awesome for the size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers How about this device from Google, Plugs in to AUX input on HiFi and streams audio from your phone, I've also saw them in the latest Argos Catalogue, so easy enough to purchase https://www.google.ie/chromecast/speakers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Would that work being its using the Hi-Fi as the main source and its from a device to Hi-Fi. I need it the other way round don't i,its giving my hifi bluetooth so i can connect Speakers to it. There are a few on eBay but i aint got a clue which ones will work,cheers for that link and good if worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see what you mean No; the device linked above only receives audio in to the HiFi wirelessly I now realise your in search of a device which broadcasts out the audio from the HiFi wirelessly to speakers via say the headphone socket of the HiFi.

This would work for Transmitting sound played by the HiFi out to other devices via Bluetooth but I'm unsure if it's signal range would be of much distance http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201443626802 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 OK I'm confused............to be honest it doesn't take much nowadays though! Do you want to keep the current hi-fi and just add BT to it to stream music to and use the current Speakers, or do you want to play music on your hi-fi but 'Bluetooth' it to Speakers not joined physically to it?

jace1969 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Lets see. I have an hifi with (no) bluetooth but the Speakers i have on it are wired and not long enough to move as to close to my dad. My aim is to get a device to make the Hifi like it has bluetooth so then i have the option to add 2 Speakers (which will be bluetooth) to the Hifi. To stream cd/radio from Hifi to the bluetooth Speakers and put them the other side of the room,quality aint a bit problem as its just old songs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I get it now I take it extending the speaker cables is not an option? I bought a BT speaker from Tescos a while back, £20 I think. Not very powerful but plenty for the bathroom. Pretty good sound as well. I just use it to stream Planet Rock etc when I'm in the shower. Pretty sure you'll find something suitable for your dad ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem i have is what item do i get to plug into Hifi to make it that is has bluetooth, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Seems to be a bit stuck on this,even if a new Mini Hifi i still don't know if it will push sound out to bluetooth Speakers. This stereo i have is A1 so don't want to go down that route,Wireless would be another way but still the same problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
