Can I use the 7 feet Cable w/ a Bluetooth&reg; Portable Speaker that has a 3.5mm audio jack? I need a good Auxilary cable to connect my MP3 player that lacks Bluetooth, Would the 7 feet cable work?

As long as your portable speaker has an auxilary in connection (I'm pretty sure it does), you should be able to connect your MP3 player to it.

Any phone with Bluetooth can be used that way (through Bluetooth connection) and the setup also contains several adapters including the stock adapter for idevices and a standard 3.5mm jack (headphone jack) for other types of MP3 players. Hope this helps!

The output is the typical headphone connector, (2.5mm, 1/8"). If you have external speakers with that connector it will work like any other device. The power output is limited, so if the speaker is powered it will make a good sound. You can't beat the price.

Yes. I have an older MP3 player without blue-tooth that I connect via standard audio cable. Works fine.

It'll connect to any Bluetooth device. I just don't like the sound. Unless you REALLY need wireless, I don't recommend this speaker. Think about it, MP3 is already compressed, Bluetooth transmission further degrades signal, plus the quality of the speakers aren't that good to begin with (it's only one-way)

The cord is quite small, unless you plan on not moving a lot with the speaker it should be fine. If you need a longer cord I recommend you get a Mediabridge 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.

Could you bluetooth to one speaker and have the audio cable to connect from one speaker to the other? or would that just take the audio from one speaker and output it on the other speaker? Could there also be another plausible solution to bluetooth to one speaker from your phone and at the same time having an audio cable hooked up from your phone to the other speaker to play audio via cable and bluetooth to two different speaker simultaneously?

These questions go to buyers not manufacturers. Can I ,as consumer, shorten the cable....I guess, but why? Its easier to put it wrap it up as shown in the picture. For my purposes I didn't even need a cable, my current ipod system has a 5 ft cable, I simply needed an adapter but this works great.

Hi Mike, great question! I have experimented with those little 1-2 inch speakers that come with some PC's. It worked fine for shorter distances when I plugged the speaker into the RCA jack input (3.5mm) on the receiver instead of plugging the earbuds in). How ever when I used batteries instead of plugging the transmitter in to an a/c source, my range decreased a little. Larger speakers needed to have their own power source / amplified speakers. The larger the speaker, the more distortion that occurred. Remember these great little wireless earbuds are "designed to power earbuds". For the amazingly low price of this unit, I'd buy one and just use the earbuds how they are designed. Hi Mike, great question!

There are bluetooth enabled devices that have auxiliary (RCA) outputs or one with auxiliary 3.5mm (headphone) outputs which you can buy 3.5MM to RCA cables. You can use a bluetooth receiver like these to plug into on of the inputs on the back of the receiver (such as the tape or cd input). An example of one of those devices would be http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8Z492TTP-Bluetooth-Music-Receiver/dp/B0047T79VS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383165414&sr=8-2&keywords=bluetooth+receiver+rca This would work with anything that had "RCA" or 3.5MM (heaphone jack) inputs.

You will need an 3.5 mm auxiliary cable to use a non bluetooth enabled device. The USB port is for charging only.

Yes, you can use it through your car radio and the radio does not have to have an aux. in-put. There are several wireless transmitters on the market that will work with any MP3 player with a 3.5mm jack. You can purchase them for as little as $20 and go up from there.

If your mp3 or ipod has bluetooth then yes it will work, if it doesn't I guess you can connect via the aux input, but to be honest if you don't intend using the bluetooth function then I would be buying a different speaker as thats what you are paying for

Yes, you can connect devices (like phones, laptops, etc) to the speaker with a standard 3.5mm male-to-male stereo cord. The speaker even comes with this cord. You do not have to use bluetooth.

No, you have to use a 3.5 MM plug. Of course you could probably plug a small bluetooth transmitter into it...many choices on Amazon. Be forewarned, this device works well, but battery life suffers. Still cheaper than trying to repair the crappy Apple headphone jack.

this might work: Mpow Portable Bluetooth Receiver A2DP Wireless Audio Adapter I use it with my car stereo that has an aux input jack. The Mpow comes with a male/male audio cable that connects between the Mpow device and the speaker's audio input jack. Once you pair your music device with the Mpow, they should connect automatically each time.

Yep - either through the supplied 1/8" auxiliary cord or the USB connection. I bought mine partially for this reason - it serves 50% as a bluetooth speaker for my phone and the other 50% as the speaker for our desktop. More to the point, it's a great little speaker no matter what it's connected to. Does 90% of what a Jambone, Beats Pill, etc. do for 30% of the price. You can buy something cheaper or certainly more expensive, but they really hit the sweet spot for price/performance w/ this. Great little speaker.
