Bluetooth audio
Untethered music streaming
Bluetooth audio is sound transmitted wirelessly between devices using Bluetooth technology—from a phone to headphones, a laptop to a speaker, or a car stereo to a music player.
The term distinguishes wireless listening from wired connections: I switched to Bluetooth audio so I wouldn't get tangled in cables.
Quality varies by codec and device capability.
