Syncwire Bluetooth 5.4 Aux Adapter for Car, 3.5mm Aux
Syncwire Bluetooth 5.4 Aux Adapter for Car, 3.5mm Aux Bluetooth Receiver Wireless Audio Receiver for Home Stereo, Wired Headphone, Hands-Free Call, 22H Battery, Deep Bass, Colorful Light, Silve
In the package: Bluetooth receiver, M-M 3.5mm jack cable, 3.5mm M-M jack adaptor and a USB-C charging cable.
This bluetooth receiver does the job of connecting a bluetooth device with an amplifier, other speaker, non-bluetooth headphones etc. It is easy to pair with the device you’re playing/making calls from. Once paired it will automatically connect the next time the receiver is switches on.
The 3 front buttons serve the usual functions of pausing/playing/answering a call, skipping forward/backward. A long press of the forward button switches the device on and off and a long press of the back button toggles the lights round the play button. On the side there is a rocker for volume and a button to give a bass boost.
The lights round the play/pause button are synchronised whatever you’re playing through the device. This is pretty and works well but is a tad gimmicky. Of course having them on drains power from the battery more than having them off. With the lights on 6 hours constant use took the battery from full to 20% remaining. With the lights off the same amount of use went from full to 30%.
The deep bass feature works well. I found the sound without it to be a tad tinny, but with the feature enabled there was a really well balanced bass to the music. Sometimes these features overdo it but this didn’t distort the sound at all.
On the whole, really happy with this receiver. I use it to play from my phone through my amp.
This adapter has made my car trips so much better. It connects to my phone instantly and streams music without any annoying delays. I love that it plugs straight into the car’s aux port—super easy to use. The deep bass button is my favourite feature. Pressing it really brings the music to life with a rich sound, and it feels like a mini concert while I’m on the road!
Hands-free calls have also been really smooth with this adapter. The dual microphones pick up my voice clearly, and I don’t have to worry about fumbling with my phone when driving. The battery life is impressive too—I’ve used it for a full day’s drive and still had plenty of power left. Plus, recharging with the Type-C cable is quick and convenient.
The colourful LED light adds a fun touch, but if it ever gets distracting, I can easily turn it off. This little gadget has been perfect for bringing wireless audio to my car’s sound system, and it’s handy for home use too.

We got this old banger of a car. A proper relic from the days when cassette tapes were all the rage. Needless to say, it’s about as tech-savvy as a brick. But then I noticed this Syncwire Bluetooth thingy. Slapping a fancy gadget on my ancient rust bucket seemed like putting lipstick on a pig. But cor blimey, was I in for a surprise! This little silver beauty plugged right into my car’s aux port (thank heavens for small mercies), and suddenly my decrepit stereo was streaming tunes from my phone like it was born in this century.
Now, I’m not saying it’s all sunshine and rainbows. The instructions were about as clear as mud, and I spent a good half hour cursing at it before I figured out how to pair it properly. But once it was up and running, it was smooth sailing. The sound quality is surprisingly decent – not exactly Royal Albert Hall, mind you, but leagues better than the tinny rubbish I was used to.
If you’re in the same boat (or should I say, car) as me, with a vehicle that’s more suited to a museum than the M25, I’d say give this Syncwire doohickey a go. It’s breathed new life into my daily commute, and I no longer have to pretend I enjoy Radio 4 just because it’s the only thing that comes in clearly. Plus, the hands-free calling feature means I can finally chat with me mum without risking a run-in with the boys in blue.
Now, for the nitty-gritty:
* Likes:
Actually works (shocking, I know)
Decent battery life (lasts longer than my patience in rush hour traffic)
The bass boost feature is quite nice (if you’re into that sort of thing)
* Dislikes:
The flashing lights are a bit much (feels like I’m driving a disco ball sometimes)
Occasionally drops connection (usually at the most inconvenient moments, naturally)
The microphone isn’t stellar (but then again, neither is my singing voice)

A very practical compact adapter for adding blue tooth connectivity to anything with a Aux input towards using that items speakers. Thus allowing the user to connect for example via your blue tooth on your phone to the adapter to use your cars aux in / stereo / powered speaks (aux in 3.5mm), headphones using 3.5mm etc.
The build quality is excellent. Utilising blue tooth 5.4 which is great versus an older standard making it more stable, faster, and lower latency connections.
The unit also has dual built in mics so it can be used as a hands free unit in you car.
Very easy to use buttons, clearly marked, and a good size. Plus the addition of some RGB lights or not as you choose….Perfect.
Does have an internal battery, charge via it’s USB slot.
Kit includes;
1 x adapter
1 x 3.5mm removeable connector
1 x 3.5mm aux to aux cable
1 x USC C to A cable
At the time of this review, 15.99 delivered which for me for such an adapter, it’s functions, design features, quality of build is superb. Fantastic…
This Syncwire bluetooth adapter is fairly decent, you can use it for turning your wired headphones into wireless or in the car streaming music from your phone to the aux input on your in car entertainment.
It’s a very neat little unit and is well made and looks great, it pairs easily and for the most part sounds good, I first tried it driving my hifiman headphones (I know completely crazy) but I wanted to see how it faired and it was ok but it was lacking bass and quite bright compared to what I am used to. I then transferred it to the car replacing a bluetooth adapter I currently use and to be honest I couldn’t hear any difference so for car use it works perfectly. It also claims a really long battery life and I wouldn’t argue against their claim as I have been using it for a week in the car with no signs of needing to charge it yet.
So for car use I wouldn’t recommend it but maybe look elsewhere if you want to run headphones.
