Thanks for quick responses!

After attempting to read through the wikipedia links I went from mildly
confused to completely and utterly confused.

So bluetooth is digital but there appears to many different types of
digital signals available and each one of a slightly different quality.
So how does one which digital codex is being used and of what quality?
Or is just a complete crap shoot?

For example I can stream audio from my iPhone to:

1) my car stereo

2) a bluetooth speaker (UE Boom and Pyle Street Blaster)

3) a small bluetooth receiver (with a 1/8" stereo jack) for use with
non-bluetooth devices.

How do I find out what type of bluetooth codex being used and the
quality for each of these connections? And is the transmitter, e.g.
iPhone, or the receiver, e.g. UE Boom, that determines the type of
bluetooth codex being used?
