wireless receiver
Antenna-equipped listening device
A wireless receiver is a device that captures radio signals transmitted through the air and converts them into usable information—sound, images, or data.
Radios, televisions, Wi-Fi adapters, and Bluetooth headphones all contain wireless receivers.
The term often appears in technical contexts to distinguish the receiving component from a transmitter: The wireless receiver picked up interference from nearby electronics.
