Why on earth would I need that?
Well, I can describe a hundred scenarios but let’s keep things short and real.
I didn’t have my BlueTooth speakers, In-built speakers were crap and I needed to feel the horror of AnnaBelle.
This is when I came across this beautiful app called Audio Relay which can stream the audio from your PC to the android device of your choice!
Beta yet Better: Pros and Cons
The app is currently in Beta Phase yet it works like a charm. Aside from the initial setup, connecting your phone and PC requires less than 5 seconds!
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Requires little to no effort
- Supports USB Channel streaming for the least lag
- Supports Multiple Devices at the same time.
- Can work with inbuilt speakers on
Cons:
- USB Streaming needs Premium Version
- Multi-Device support needs Premium Version
- Bluetooth can be unreliable sometimes.
Setting Up
- Download the app on your PC from Here
- Download the app on your Android
- Follow these quick instructions for Initial Setup
- Done!
My Experience and Verdict
I’m constantly using it for 3 days as a replacement for the inbuilt speakers of my laptop and it works flawlessly.
The average ping stays between 20-30ms and the buffering is neglectable most of the time. Though I haven’t tried the premium version but it opens up some whole new potentials such as:
- Each Homie gets their own speaker
- Surrounding Home Theater System
- Your Imagination!
Would I recommend it as a replacement for well-known speakers such as Bose or JBL? Probably not because of the difference in Sound Quality and Bass.
Would I recommend this as an extra set of speakers with better sound quality than your laptop? Hell yeah!
