No one is arguing that usb power connectors have become more common in the last few years, but that doesn't change the fact that this barrel connector is still very common as well.
Walking through my home, the items I see with this barrel connector are...
My router
2 network switches
2 Bluetooth speakers
An electric shaver
The charger for my Motorola walkie talkie
The chargers for the batteries for my 2 ebikes
My dyson stick vacuum
A roku streamer
A video camera power supply
A small plasma lamp
Power supply on older laptop
Power supply for a small lcd pocket oscilloscope
Etc etc etc.
The items that use a usb power connector in my home...
1 Bluetooth speaker
My cellphone
A new IR remote extender I just got
...can't think of anything else.
A wall wart power supply almost always (95% or more of the time) will have a barrel connector on the other end of the wire.

It's not a "proprietary" power cable. It uses the same barrel type connector that 95% of low current electronics with removable power cords use.

Let me clarify. I connect my Sony TV's Bluetooth to this device. Then I plug in this device to my receiver/speakers. In other words, just device is receiving the TV's Bluetooth signal.
As long as it has an aux input it should. I personally prefer the homespot one without a battery plugged into the cig lighter. That way it turns off with the ignition. However powering the way I am you likely need a ground loop isolator.
