Bluetooth Stereo Receiver

In our quest for losing any and all possible wires, we stumbled upon this cool little gadget, a way to transmit my music wirelessly from my Treo 755p. The search revealed several options to choose from. I, of course, opted for the cheapest I could find - the Jensen Universal Bluetooth Stereo Receiver ($9.97 from Amazon.com.) Those who have a 755p know that A2DP does not come standard. (Bad Palm, bad. But that’s another topic for another day.) But with the help of the Softick Audio Gateway, voila, streaming Bluetooth. The Receiver did not come with the highest reviews, but I figured for less than $20 with shipping, I’d bite. It turns out it was better than I expected. Much better.
Out of the box you get everything that you would need to get up and running - audio cables, mini-manual, and power adapter. And of course, the Bluetooth Receiver. Setup was straightforward. After a couple of attempts, I was able to pair the receiver and the phone.
