Playing the music you’ve saved on your phone through external speakers without any wires is the simple beauty of the Bluetooth Music Receiver MBR-100. You can then play it in hi-fi quality by simply plugging the receiver into your hi-fi stereo or your car stereo and streaming the music on your stereo Bluetooth-equipped phone through the speakers.

The MBR-100 comes with 2 different cables, an RCA cable and a 3.5 mm input cable so it can fit almost any audio device at home or in the car. This means that once your phone is paired to the MBR-100, you simply have to walk into its range to accept an automatic invitation on your phone screen to play your music as loud as you want. As the music plays through the speakers you can use your phone as a remote control, with the ability to play, pause and skip to next track.
