What is a Bluetooth Audio Transmitter / Receiver?

A Bluetooth Audio Transmitter/Receiver transmits audio from a source to a connected Bluetooth device like wireless headphones. The Bluetooth device that receives the audio transmission has a Bluetooth receiver that decodes the transmission into audio.

Hosa’s Bluetooth Audio Transmitter/Receiver can also receive audio transmissions by pairing it with speakers to broadcast songs from your phone or computer.
