Anker Soundsync A3352 Bluetooth Receiver for Music Streaming with Bluetooth 5.0, 12-Hour Battery Life, Handsfree Calls, Dual Device Connection, for Car, Home Stereo, Headphones, Speakers

Similar to a Google Audiocast, this receiver works well when plugged in to an older stereo unit with no built-in USB or Bluetooth. The small unit quality is as you would expect from Anker and the sound quality is good too. Our use case is using an older Pioneer HiFi unit from circa 1990, allowing us to stream music from our smartphones.

use for my vintage style stereo in my car and it works very well, the connectivity is good and when someone calls its also provides good sound quality to the person on the phone, there doesnt seem to be any lag and its compact you can hide it away, the battery life is also good. using the item is also simple so i cannot fault this item.

To use in her car, connected well and did the job expected, clear transmission for the price and nifty little product

Great device and so simple to set up.

Does what it says in the hype - and does it well! A Bluetooth receiver only, it is compact (small matchbox size), well-made (as expected from Anker) and produces great sound on my old hi-fi when I stream Spotify or iTunes through it from my iPhone or iPad. Not yet run out of first charge so no idea how long it will actually last. My old mini-system has no 3.5mm audio input (just a headphone-out socket) so I bought a quality 2-Male RCA Adapter Cable (or try Amazon Basics model currently @ £6) and it works perfectly. The solid double male-ended adapter works well but a 3.5mm audio cable gives easier access to the on-off button & controls if your audio out is round the back of the system. Bluetooth range seems OK and will work when I am with my phone (source) in the room next door to the hi-fi & speakers. However, two walls is too much (can't hear it properly that far off anyway). Not yet tested the phone system - did not buy it for this anyway as my hi-fi systems have no mike attached. Not sure why they included a noise cancellation review category as it does not appear relevant to me. Overall, a super little piece of kit which has modernised my old hi-fi set-up really well.

Using this with my iPhone Xr and the 3.5mm aux in my 2009 VW Passat. It works. Music is very good and the mic is ok for phone calls. It’s also tiny, which (in theory) should make it very easy to stick in a discrete place on a dashboard. Looks like a quality item. However, the positioning of the ports and buttons and mic is very poorly thought out which makes this very difficult. I wanted to leave it hidden away and not have to see it or touch it, by leaving it plugged in to my 12v USB charger so when I switch on my engine, it automatically turns on. It will automatically switch off after a while once you leave the car anyway. However, the charger port is on one side, and the 3.5mm jack on another. That means that it’s very difficult to hide in the car because you have two cables sticking out on two sides. The buttons are on yet another side, so access to them - if required - means you need to take that into consideration. And get ready to learn what the various light sequences mean. Charging, connected, charging while connected, searching, searching while connected, searching while charging etc all have different sequences. I’ve literally never ever had to check a manual to find out what various lights mean. It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Mr Burns is giving Homer instructions during a baseball game. Overall, it works well, and it’s worth the money… …but I would love to help Anker design one in such a way that most car owners would appreciate. Feels like it was designed on autoCAD and never tested in the real world. Good, but could be great. Also, the “two devices at once” is very poorly implemented. The second device doesn’t auto connect, and even when it is connected, the first device has to disconnect to allow it to play music. EDIT 13/3/25 Eventually replaced this with a (cheaper) UGreen equivalent that resolves the annoyances with the Anker transmitter.

This little device was purchased to provide my SportKa with wireless calling and bluetooth music streaming as I didn't want to replace the head unit as this was only a second car for seldom use. For music this is brilliant, the sound quality is great and the battery life is respectable. Note if you are charging the device whilst driving you will get slight interference, but as I bring the unit in, I ensure it is charged fully before use. As another use when using my sat nav app on my phone the directions come through the speakers in real time like it would on any other car with it built it. I use a CD slot mount to hold my phone so I can easily use these features like a touch screen infotainment system. For calls this is a little hit and miss the unit plays the caller through the speakers which is excellent but as the microphone is not directly in front of you like in most built in systems, my callers find it harder to hear me. To me I only called in emergencies only so I am not to phased. A work around would be to get a longer aux cable and position the unit near to the gauge cluster for optimum voice calling but the trade off is being able to easily change track or to mute. Also wanted to say that my unit did stop working and I contacted Anker they sent out a replacement the next day, this service is amazing and I compare this level of customer service to the best out there. Would highly recommend to someone wanting to retain an OEM finish but have some updated practically.

Great solution. Used in a 2008 mini and works wonders
