App to Use Android as Bluetooth Audio Receiver

[toolworker]

Is there an app to play audio from a Bluetooth source on my Galaxy S7?

I have non-Bluetooth earbuds and would like to make them Bluetooth-capable by plugging them into the phone and pairing it with the audio source.

I see several "Bluetooth speaker" apps in the Play store but they seem to connect to a PC running a Windows app.

I'm not sure I understand the routing of the audio in your proposed setup.

To turn a phone into a bluetooth receiver, you would need to root the phone so you could install a re-written bluetooth stack, if it's even possible since the chip in the phone is a host chip rather than a client one.

If the device pairs to the phone is a way that allows the phone to play audio from it (I can't think of any off the top of my head other than another phone), yes. But we'd have to know the device to be sure.

I want to plug a Bluetooth transmitter into the audio jack of a TV set, and use the Android phone with earbuds instead of buying wireless Bluetooth earbuds.
