Hey guys its been sometime not posting anything here.To lend me some helping hand this time my cousin Sandeep Nayak who is a techie in Bangalore, has written a guest post. Hope this will be a guide to many who want to go wireless in audio streaming but don't have much know how about electronics.

Bluetooth Audio Transmitter (Leoxsys)
Bluetooth Speakers (Reconnect)

TV Audio output/Computer Audio output --> Bluetooth Audio Transmitter --> Bluetooth Speakers
Story :-
So finally I got tired of wired devices and decided to go wireless. This need arose out of an idea to stream audio from my tv or computer to a speaker without using any wires.
The advantages I saw were that I could place the speaker anywhere in the room or I could carry it to any other room.
For this I faced two challenges,
1) Streaming audio wirelessly from TV
2) Configuring a speaker to accept wireless audio
Streaming audio wirelessly from TV
I got to know that there are Televisions which have a bluetooth feature in-built and it's possible to stream audio using that feature (Note:- However I am not aware if the bluetooth feature is a Receiver or a Transmitter or both).
My LED TV did not have an in-built bluetooth feature, so I had to find a way to do this using a plug-and-play device.
Meanwhile, while googling (what else ? :-)), I stumbled upon a Bluetooth audio transmitter.
Immediately I checked ebay to see if this product is readily available. And there it was. I found one from Leoxsys for a reasonable price (INR 1390).
This had a 3.5mm jack which could be plugged into the Audio Out port (not the Music System port) of a TV or a Computer and it would start streaming
the audio through bluetooth.
After 2 hrs of charging, the device was ready to be used.
Configuring a speaker to accept wireless audio
Next step was to find a speaker which was compatible with this device. This was particularly challenging because the pairing had to happen automatically as the Leoxsys device did not have a UI where I could select a speaker to pair.
So I decided to take this device with me while choosing the compatible speaker.
I went to a couple of stores where I found several brands of speakers which had bluetooth but were not pairing automatically with the Leoxsys device.
Finally I found a brand of speaker called Reconnect which paired automatically while I was trying to pair JBL Pulse (the one with the led lights).
This was moderately priced at INR 2999 and I was 90% done with my selection at this point.
I also saw another model of Reconnect with two speakers which worked fine as well (same price and same feature but works on A/C input).
But I decided to go for the single speaker which I could carry rather than the two which I had to keep plugged in all the time.
So, there it was :-). With the help of Leoxsys and Reconnect, I am able to stream audio wirelessly from my TV & Computer.
And yes, sometimes I use it with my Mobile as well ;-)
