Is it good to also get the bluetooth adapter if your wanting to stream from your I pod or iphone?

You won't need it, if you're streaming through iTunes. You would just redirect the sound output to whatever AirPort wifi receiver the AirGo is attached to. Be warned: the newer-shaped AirPorts won't fit in the older AirGo's. I don't know if AirPorts work with Bluetooth, so if they don't, the speaker wouldn't either, I suspect.

The speaker was designed to integrate with Apple Airport Express - you need to purchase the model it recommends (which is the older Airport Express) or else it will not function. It's worth it! The sound of this speaker is powerful, spacious and clear. I highly recommend!

If you don't have an older airport express you will need some other way to connect.

I did't even know there was a bluetooth adapter, but I wouldn't get one. I bought this because it was usable with Airplay on an apple system. I have bluetooth speakers that I can't even move around my garage without them losing the signal. This speaker has almost no trouble. I can walk anywhere in my back year, which isn't huge but still, and it works fine. Very good sound and it can get very loud if you desire.

Just buy the 30 pin Bluetooth adapter and pulg it on top and use it with any blue tooth phone or apple device

You can stream from your iphone or ipad to the unit by plugging directly into it. You will not be able to do it wirelessly.

It has all three along with Bluetooth that allows you to stream music from an Apple device or other Bluetooth device. The sound quality is actually quite good. I'm no audio sound expert because of hearing loss from being in the navy but it suits the purpose of what I was looking for.

Yes, connectivity with bluets is good, but the sound quality is horrible (I think this is a limitation of bluetooth, not the device). Airplay sound quality is much better, but the speaker has wifi problems and will not remain connected to the network through wifi.

You shouldn't need any adapters. All you do is set your iPad on the dock and voila. I'll be honest though. I stopped using it because it's not as practical as it looks. I just bought the Google Chromecast and it's by far a better product.

Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone. I simply connect to the speaker via bluetooth, and then stream music all day. It doesn't matter if you play music from your phone, ipad, ipod, (itunes) or any other device. I also, through bluetooth connectivity, play music from Pandora and Slacker. All said, this is a fantastic speaker for desktop use at home or office. It has great sound from such a small device. The battery last for quite a long time as well. I hope this helps you. I am getting ready to purchase a second speaker for my girlfriend to use at her office. Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone.

only if it has the older style Iphone connector, it essentially maked an Ipod dock able to connect and older iphone and use itunes as if it was an Ipod. It works great for that, sorry I do not know what type of connector a tune2air bluetooth adapter has. There are BT adapters that you can connect to your aux port and link to your phone or BT capable ipod, I have one of these but my aux port is not functioning so I used this Ipod/Iphone adapter, hope this helps

No, at least the one I have the older iPod/iPhone connection, even with the older phone, it is not posible to plug in if you phone has a case. I do enjoy the speakers both from my iPad and my new iphone through Bluetooth. Be aware you will need the remote to pair every time you switch devices.

Bluetooth and lightning connector but keep in mind, iPhone 5 can still be connected with adapter or aux. input on older (cheaper) model

i listen to music through the bluetooth. its called a2dp streaming so it should work. most newer abdroid and iphones support that.

No, unfortunately not. Blue tooth devices are nice. The thing that is dicey with this particular unit is that small wedge at the top that hooks up to your iPhone (iPod, etc) hasn't a supporting piece behind it, so one has to be careful not to jiggle it too much when connecting or disconnecting the iPhone or iPod to the top of the unit. And if and when that little piece goes, all you have left is a radio--AND Pyle cannot supply you with a replacement part. That said, there are jacks on back for stereo input if you'd like to bypass the iPhone hookup, but I'd rather just have the unit operate as a docking station for my iPhone and its music functionality. After all, that's why I purchased it.I hope that helps. No, unfortunately not. Blue tooth devices are nice.

You would need the lightning to 30 pin adaptor that Apple makes to use the dock but you will be able to use the Bluetooth which would be better anyway.

The stereo is absolutely seller Have had it close to a year now no issues problems or regrets. As to the adapter I cant speak to that as I do not have a need for any adapter I can stream via network connection spotify and pandora and can use Apple AirPlay just fine.

No there is no adapter needed. The blutooth is built in to the controller. Don't be surprised if you have to send it it back. I bought one for an iPhone5 and couldn't get it to work. So I sent it back and very disappointed! Good luck!

Yes, If you use an original apple 30pin to ligthning adapter for physical connectionFor bluetooth all works just fine

Yep, it's Bluetooth so it will connect any device. I use it for Tunein radio, pandora, spotify, and other apps. This will show up the same way airplay does on an iPhone.
