Bluetooth transmitters are designed to work with older, or non-Bluetooth enabled audio systems to make them compatible with Bluetooth devices. For example, you can use a Bluetooth transmitter to send sound from your TV to a set of wireless headphones, or from your stereo system to Bluetooth speakers.

We recommend the Avantree aptX HD Bluetooth transmitter if you're looking to connect devices to a television or audio equipment in your home. It has a decent range, voice control, and lets you connect multiple devices, like headphones, at the same time. The Anker 2-in-1 is also designed for home use but is more compact.
For the car, we suggest the Nulaxy Car Kit Transmitter. It allows for both hands-free calling and playing music from your car's stereo through your Bluetooth enabled devices.
