The fact that smartphones are the ideal interface for sonorous music in the home four walls is nothing new.
Boxes connect to the smartphone wirelessly via WLAN or Bluetooth, and via the connection to streaming services, a music collection is available that even collectors can only dream of.
But what do people do who still have an old stereo system with solid connections and want to run Spotify and Co. over veteran passive speakers?
Our tip: WiFi Adapter for the stereo system in our test.
From Internet 4.0 to 5.1 sound - the hi-fi system for smartphones
Of course, it's easiest for users if their phone still has a headphone jack. That's straight though this is no longer always the case with newer models.
Then a cable is the simplest solution and that amplifier is simply connected like a headphone. However, this solution is not perfect, because if the playlist is not to run, there is no way around getting up and manually intervening on the smartphone.
The advantage: an adapter of 3,5mm Klinke on stereo jack some might even still own it.
A wireless method is Bluetooth and WLAN adapters for stereo systems in our test. As with wireless boxes from Teufel, Bose and SONOS, music lovers have to choose between a connection method.
Some WLAN adapters even work as repeaters, so they increase the range of the Wi-Fi signal even further, which is even useful for surfing in the garden.
Basically, WLAN works better over longer distances and is less susceptible to interference than Bluetooth. On the other hand, WLAN adapters for stereo systems in the test are also significantly more expensive than Bluetooth technology.
In the same room or in smaller apartments, Bluetooth is quite sufficient. With tablet and PC, which tend to stay in one place, there are fewer problems, but when the smartphone and user leave the room, it can sometimes close dropouts in playback kommen.
Not every adapter is equally suitable for wireless streaming to the stereo system, so it's worth browsing through test reports beforehand. WLAN adapters for stereo systems in particular can cost several hundred euros, but there are also cheap alternatives like this Google Chromecast Audio Player.
It even has a remote control that comes with it, which makes daily use a little easier, so the adapter does not have to be plugged in every time it is used, but can simply remain on the system (also elegantly hidden behind it).
The wireless functionality is very simple
In front of Connection Even less technically savvy music lovers don't have to worry.
In our test, wireless WLAN adapters for the stereo system are connected via the stereo system's jack connection, and then the smartphone and the adapter are connected in the settings.
Setting it up should only take a few minutes, then nothing stands in the way of the best sound from your smartphone.
The adaptation is particularly useful if an expensive hi-fi system is to be used further and made wireless. Because then it doesn't necessarily have to be a completely new sound system.
