Many people tend to use older devices, either out of sentiment or simply because they don’t feel the need to upgrade as their current devices still work perfectly fine.
It is common for families to hold on to and use older electronic devices such as MP3 players, disc players, TVs, speakers, and headphones that are connected via cables. However, with the advancement of modern technology, wireless connections have become the trend due to their convenience and tidiness. Among these, Bluetooth has emerged as the most popular wireless connection, finding its application in numerous technological devices. Wired devices are gradually becoming less favored and also face limitations when connecting to modern technological products.
To make use of old wired headphones, speakers, or TVs, there is a small but mighty accessory that can act as an intermediary source to connect these electronic devices to audio receivers/transmitters via Bluetooth.
Bluetooth Receiver
A Bluetooth receiver is a compact device, roughly the size of a USB drive or even a highlighter pen, making it easily portable for women to carry around in their purses or pockets.
By connecting your wired headphones to this handy device, you can enjoy your music from a distance.
Using this tech accessory is simple. Just plug the 3.5mm jack of your wired headphones into the Bluetooth receiver’s connection port. Then, turn on your source device, such as a laptop or smartphone, and connect via Bluetooth. Now, you can use your wired headphones just like wireless ones, and even connect to other types of speakers for an enhanced music experience. With this Bluetooth capability, you can listen to music from up to 10 meters away, all while avoiding the bulkiness and cost of wireless headphones.
Bluetooth receivers are affordable, with prices starting at just 100,000 VND.
Bluetooth Transmitter
On the flip side, a Bluetooth transmitter can connect to music sources like TVs, disc players, desktop computers, and music players to transmit audio via Bluetooth. This enables wireless devices such as AirPods, wireless headphones, and speakers to connect and enjoy music from a distance.
To use this tech accessory, simply plug the audio cable from your TV or music/video player into the Bluetooth transmitter. Once the Bluetooth transmitter is activated, connect your wireless headphones or speakers, and you’re good to go! With this device, you can bring new life to your old TVs or music players, making them more contemporary without incurring replacement costs.
Bluetooth transmitters are a steal, costing as little as 100,000 VND, or the price of three cups of milk tea.
Bluetooth Adapter
Additionally, to cater to diverse and convenient usage needs, the market also offers devices that integrate both receiving and transmitting functions. Depending on the brand and manufacturer, Bluetooth adapters tend to be larger in size compared to the previously mentioned compact devices.
This compact device gives your old tech a modern twist, enabling wireless connections via Bluetooth.
The usage is similar, but you’ll need to toggle the appropriate button to activate the desired function. Typically, the buttons will be labeled as RX for Receiver and TX for Transmitter.
Due to its added functionality, a Bluetooth adapter will be slightly more expensive than the receiver/transmitter devices mentioned earlier. You can purchase a Bluetooth adapter starting from 150,000 VND.
