The stealthy Kanex AirBlue is a Bluetooth device that receives audio streamed from an A2DP-compatible device and outputs that audio to another device.

Audio is output through this 3.5mm analog connection. The AirBlue includes a 3.5mm audio patch cable and a 3.5mm-to-RCA adapter for easy connection to almost any receiver.

The stealthy AirBlue is easily pocketable thanks to its thin profile and featherlight weight.

During our testing of the AirBlue, we were able to stream audio to a set of PC speakers, a car stereo, and a home theater system.

The AirBlue is designed to work with stereo equipment, but in a pinch headphones will also do.
