The Auris bluMe is a device that gives you the opportunity to add the wondrous convenience and ease of use of Bluetooth to that classic audio setup you're so attached to. While [stereo receivers and speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a10-mkii) featuring cables are still fundamental parts of most home entertainment setups, the convenience of [wireless streaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/node-series) is undeniable.

The device comes with codecs that preserve the musical detail and also allows for video streaming.

The Auris bluMe is currently the subject of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esq-a30m) campaign, and has already raised well over its original fundraising goal. This product is a great example of how adoption of the newest modern technology doesn't necessarily need to sound a death knell for old school technology. The bluMe helps you enjoy the best of both worlds without sacrificing on convenience or performance for that matter.
