Play music wirelessly with the Auris Bluetooth music receiver


Auris is a Bluetooth-based receiver that claims to let you play music wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device.  For those who skipped the video by Mashable (above), this receiver connects up to either devices (using Bluetooth version 2.1+ EDR).  

The device is as small as an iPod Shuffle and plugs into any docking station that currently is built for iPod connectivity.  It does not need to be plugged in for charging - the docking stations take care of that.  Simply plug the device in and connect to it via Bluetooth on your wireless device, and you're set to listen to any audio within 33 feet of the receiver.  

The cool thing about this is that users no longer need to be in proximity of the docking station - giving them the ability to roam and use their device however they want.  It also gives Android users the ability to connect to these docking stations through the device as well.  With the iPhone 5 changing the dock connector size, auris can keep docking stations relevant for consumers. 

While auris has not launched yet, they claim to have a fully-functioning prototype.  They are hoping to get more funding on their Kickstarter page by October 10, 2012.  So far they have almost $17,000 in funding - with 27 days to go. 

Would you use this device? Let us know!
