1. 1Mii B06 – Convert wired home theater speakers to wireless
1Mii B06
Just like it is the Chromecast media streamer, which allows you to stream your smart devices like smartphones, laptops wirelessly on a bigger screen like a TV.
The Chromecast is just a pocket-size dongle that connects to a bigger screen, usually a TV, and helps wirelessly screen share the content on your smaller smart devices.
The 1Mii B06 Plus Bluetooth Receiver is the audio version of this device.
It enables wireless transmission of sound using wi-fi, enabling you to wireless control and play the music of your choice remotely using your smartphone or laptop.
The device can be easily set up, and all you need to do is connect it to a power source and then connect it to your wired speaker.
Once the setup you can wirelessly stream music from your smartphone.

It comes with the latest Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which contributes to an effortless and smooth wireless transmission.
Additionally, it can also be voice-controlled using an Alexa or a google home device.
2. Using Amazons Echo dot – Convert old speakers to Bluetooth
Amazons Echo Dot
Another widely used alternative is the Amazon’s Echo dot, another pocket-size device just like the 1Mii.
What makes the Echo dot special is that, unlike the 1MII, which is merely a mediator that transmits a signal to and from the speakers, it is also a speaker by itself.
Therefore, not just does it convert your wired speakers to wireless ones, but it can also be used as a speaker itself.
Probably, one feature that stands out the most is the voice-controlled use of this device.
Once connected to your wired speaker, you can control it using Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa, who we are all very familiar with.
Although, its limitation lies in its range. It might not be the best for a big house/room with many obstructions like walls/windows/doors.
Additionally, this device can be controlled using various regional languages. You can even connect a host of speakers using this device.
Moreover, the Echo dot does not limit your connectivity to only speakers. You can also control your Air conditioners, lights, and TV’s.
