30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter | LAYEN BS-1 - Bluetooth 5.3 Premium Wireless Adapter for Bose SoundDock and Other 30-Pin iPod iPhone Dock, Docking Stations, Hi-Fi, Stereo and Speakers (Not for Cars)

I bought the Bose Soundbox when it first launched, paid $400.00 for it. I’ve taken good care of it, & changed the adapters when the phones changed to be able to keep using it. With a new IPhone 16 pro max, the adapter I purchased didn’t work, so I researched Bluetooth devices hoping would work. Found this one, plugged it in, synced it with my phone quickly, & bingo! Be sure the volume is tuned up on your phone. The range is pretty good, around 30 feet, & the sound is better than before. Worth the $ for sure

Amazon, it's story time.Once upon a time there was a young man named Jimmy Pops. He had a nice little setup with his 4th generation iPod Touch and his Altec Lansing imt800 Boomboox. One day, Jimmy Pops dropped his iPod touch right on the pavement of his local Planet Fitness Parking lot. Upon purchasing a new iPod Touch, he discovered that Apple changed the stupid connectors from the 30 Pin to the Lightning Adapter.Alright so being serious now, I was in no mood to cough up another couple hundred bucks for another sound system. Everything always has to change doesn't it? A new connector type, a new cable needed, it's never easy; at least not until I discovered this thing.This Layen i-Dock allows you to immediately turn any "obsolete" sound dock system into a wireless Bluetooth speaker compatible with any device that has Bluetooth. This forty buck gem will save you from having to buy another sound dock more or less ever so long as the dock itself continues to function and you continue to like the sound it has.The device itself is pretty much what you see in the picture. It's a matte black device that has a 30 Pin connector on the bottom. It has a small button on the top to initialize the Bluetooth search to connect to a device and a little blue light to let you know it's either searching (very fast blink) or active (slower blink). The blue light, while nice to know it's operational, is a bit of a con for me. I have my sound system in my room so when I go to bed, if I leave the Layen connected to my Altec Lansing there's a pretty bright blue light that doesn't stop blinking as the light will blink so long as it's plugged in. It's a simple fix though. Unplug it. I really can't justify taking off a star for laziness.Sound quality over the Layen is fantastic. Does my iPod sound better than it would if it were plugged in directly? Probably not, but the difference is so indiscernible to be honest I'm not sure I could tell the difference. What I will say in regards to sound quality is that over Bluetooth there's a lot of volume loss; you either need to crank the iPod or the sound dock it's wirelessly hooked up to. Once you find the right combination that floats your boat however, it sounds great. Plus I'm willing to make some sacrifices for the wireless capabilities. It's so nice to be able to walk around my room and play music from wherever I'm at. I am sure this will be nice for when I'm...you know what never mind.This adapter is a fantastic buy. Honestly, this is the best forty bucks I've spent in a long time. I'm thrilled with the Layen. It works well, it looks pretty inconspicuous, and it gives me plenty of freedom. If you are looking to make your sound system wireless or need to compensate for a 30 Pin to Lightning discrepancy, the Layen will fit the bill great!

I have an old Bose system like other units seen. Outdated for anything but a iPod 2 nano, it’s so old cannot update it.Was told to start over and buy a new system.I FOUND THIS DEVICE. ORDERED (FAST SHIPPING), I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. LITERALLY 3 SECONDS TO PAIR!Sounds great, nice styling, quality seems right on.FANTASTIC

No problems connecting to bluetooth receiver after docking it to SoundDock. A few recommended tweaks: an on/off button on the receiver would allow me to turn it off without taking it out of the dock. Had to adjust the equalizer and lossless on the phone to get the best sound, though I don't think it's the quality the SoundDock can handle. While the device is advertised to work 10+ meters, the connection between my phone and dock dropped at about 10 meters which is not that long to me. Great solution and elegant as I don't have to carry multiple power cords and extra space to spread out speaker and bluetooth adapter.

I bought this to connect my Bose SoundDock 10 to my wife’s iPhone 15 Pro. Plugged it in, opened Bluetooth and it paired easily. It also works great with my iPhone 12 Pro. No issues with Bluetooth v. 5.3 on either phone.

Great sound and allows me to stream into older Bose SoundDock

Good sounding bluetooth adaptor. Gives new life to Bose speaker.

I’ve been trying to find an adapter for my 30 pin Bose speaker and iPhone 16 usb c to connect. Tried a few that only charged and wouldn’t transmit audio. This one works but it reduces the sound quality of my Bose speaker significantly. So frustrating to have a great quality speaker and no way to enjoy it.
