Instant Wireless Upgrade for Wired Audio Systems
The KAIY HY28 turns any vintage receiver, amplifier or pair of wired speakers into a Bluetooth-enabled music system. Connect a phone, tablet or laptop wirelessly and stream music through existing home stereo equipment. The receiver-only design accepts Bluetooth 5.4 signals and outputs audio through optical, coaxial or 3.5 mm AUX ports. No remote control is included; volume and playback are managed via the onboard toggle buttons.
Stable Streaming with Flexible Power
Bluetooth 5.4 delivers reliable wireless streaming up to 33 feet indoors or outdoors. The unit draws power from a USB-C source supplying 1 volt of direct current, so it runs continuously from a wall adapter, computer port or portable power bank. An anti-slip pad keeps the compact chassis (3.85 in x 2.91 in x 3.67 in) secure on shelves or equipment racks. Auto-reconnect restores the last paired device automatically whenever the unit powers on.
Adds Bluetooth and USB Playback to Legacy Gear
This adapter replaces the need for a separate Bluetooth dongle and a dedicated USB media player by combining both functions in one box. Insert a USB flash drive loaded with MP3, FLAC or WMA files for standalone playback when a phone is not available. The jump is worth it for owners of older stereo systems who want wireless streaming and local file playback without replacing their amplifier or speakers. Buyers needing a transmitter to send audio to Bluetooth headphones should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do I install the HY28 and which switch position do people forget?
Connect USB-C power, link your stereo via optical, coaxial or 3.5 mm AUX, then slide the OFF-USB-BT switch to BT before pairing — skipping the switch step is the most common mistake.
What maintenance or replacement will the HY28 need later?
The unit has no internal battery or user-serviceable parts; only the USB-C power cable or flash drive may wear out and need replacing over time.
What limit appears first during sustained use of the HY28?
Continuous operation requires constant USB-C power; if the supply is interrupted the receiver stops immediately, so power stability is the first practical limit.
