Much better off to use inexpensive Bluetooth adapter and an Echo Dot to connect via WiFi

In addition, the Bluetooth on the SoundTouch is powerful

I have to disconnect the power in order for the bluetooth scan function to work

I've tried a couple other things like a receiver with a crappy app and a bluetooth

The bad about this item is the price for the added functionality you get, some of which can be replicated for less:--I have TuneIn Pro on my phone that also lets me stream internet radio from anywhere in the world, and it does pretty much the same as this Bose device.--Being able to connect a non-Bluetooth audio system to a Bluetooth transmitting device is great, but an inexpensive Bluetooth receiver like this [...] can add that capability for a lot less.

Bluetooth is easy to bind to your phone, PC or tablet
