I wanted to connect my Sony XB-41 bluetooth portable speaker to my built PC. I bought the MSI tomahawk mother for $115, and it doesn’t have a bluetooth connection. Instead of buying a new motherboard $220, I bought this bluetooth adaptor which work pretty good. So I save about $200, and only spend $20. I recommend for the folks the doesn’t have bluetooth connection for their built PC.

This dongle is absolutely fantastic. Had to get due to my new rig having garbage Bluetooth, and this thing handles all my Bluetooth like a boss. I even tested how far I could go with headphones and a controller before it had latency issues and it is quite far. Easily 30 feet or more. If I had two floors, I'd wager they'd still stay connected if you went up or down stairs.

I bought this to replace one i purchased elsewhere but could not get to work. You can find them cheaper elsewhere but everytime ive taken the cheap option it has been trouble. I purchased a $3 bluetooth adapter online, it was so old that the drivers were no longer available. I have always had good luck with asus products, also this one works well with a WMR headset. very happy with purchase.

No complaints. Plugged it in the desktop, and boom. PC had Bluetooth capabilities. Super easy to connect my PlayStation controller.

My blutooth headphones had a range of about 10ft from my pc (partly due to where it's located) and now I can be anywhere in my apartment with my headphones (Sony XM4) with perfect connection. Although the webpage I needed for instructions/drivers was down the day I bought this, and the instructions in the box weren't enough so I thought I messed up my pc, I got it figured out in the end.

This has worked perfectly sith no issues for how cheap it was.

My motherboard doesn't have BT and I need BT to update the firmware on my speakers so I bought this and it was plug and play and worked perfectly. I'm sure it will come in hand for future updates and uses.

Works better than most wifi adapters i found and its afforable.

I had persistent audio dropouts and stuttering with my Bluetooth speaker and initially thought Windows was the problem. After some digging, I discovered the real issue was the ASUS USB‑BT500 dongle storing old pairing data internally. Even after removing devices in Windows, “ghost” devices kept coming back and interfering with audio. To fix it, I verified Windows wasn’t the source (empty Bluetooth cache, clean registry), then uninstalled the dongle in Device Manager and physically unplugged it to force a full hardware reset. After plugging it back in, Windows reinstalled it cleanly, all ghost devices disappeared, and audio performance immediately stabilized. The problem wasn’t Windows — it was the dongle re‑injecting old pairing data. A full reset completely solved it.

I picked up this Bluetooth adapter to give my old desktop some wireless love, and wow — it exceeded expectations. Setup was a breeze. I plugged it into a USB port, and Windows instantly recognized it. No drivers needed, no drama. The range is solid. I can walk around my apartment with Bluetooth headphones on, and the connection stays crisp — no lag, no dropouts. I’ve also connected a wireless keyboard and my Xbox controller, and everything stays synced perfectly. It’s compact, too. Barely sticks out from the USB port, so it’s ideal even for laptops. For the price, it’s an absolute steal. If you’re looking to upgrade your device with Bluetooth capabilities, this little adapter gets the job done quietly and efficiently. Pros: Easy plug-and-play setup Strong, stable connection Compact design Works with multiple devices Cons: None so far!

Super easy to use. Just plugged it in and was able to use my AirPods.

Needed to add Bluetooth to an older desktop computer. Worked out of the box. Was able to plug into a USB port and my wireless controllers (PS4 and Xbox One) were able to connect without any issues.

Bought this for my son's gaming PC, so he could have his noise canceling headset and even his ear buds paired with his PC so he could game without filling the entire upstairs with loud game sounds/music. This BT adapter, worked straight out of the box, no drivers needed PNP on Windows 11 worked flawlessly. Paired with his noice canceling headset and even his Anker Soundcore X20 ear buds connected first time, everytime.

One of the standout features of the USBBT500 is its compact design. The small form factor allows for easy portability, making it ideal for users who are frequently on the go. Whether you need to connect your laptop, desktop, or even a Raspberry Pi, this adapter can easily fit into any available USB port without obstructing other connections. Setting up the adapter is a breeze. Simply plug it into a USB port on your computer, and it's ready to use. The installation process is quick and straightforward, as most operating systems automatically recognize the adapter and install the necessary drivers. This plug-and-play functionality eliminates the need for complex configurations or software installations, allowing you to start enjoying Bluetooth connectivity right away.

Works really well but it didnt like my front side USB ports, had to use a port in the back. Now with using Windows Phone Link I can make and take calls through my PC using my very comfortable gaming headset instead of having my phone on speaker nor have to use an annoying bluetooth headset that get painful to wear for long periods of time. My work is 90% home based.

I chose this particular one from the recommendation of the Best Buy associate. A nice compact smart ready Bluetooth adapter. I didn't have Bluetooth on my new gaming computer. It is easy to use and connect. It performs well, connected easily on my computer, and made adding Bluetooth devices very easy.

This is a quality low-profile Bluetooth adapter. It has reliably connected with all of my devices, including my Logitech MX Keys, and there haven't been any observable disconnections. I also purchased another for an older laptop and it's barely noticeable, and inobtrusive enough to leave inserted.

I recently bought a Bluetooth mouse, but didn't realize that the laptop I was going to put it with didn't have Bluetooth! The first thing I did was got on the Best Buy website and did a search for a USB Bluetooth adapter. I immediately found this awesome Asus part that does exactly what is needed! Just plug it in and go. It doesn't get any better than that! I am very happy with this purchase.

Perfect plug and play Bluetooth adapter. I mistakenly purchased a motherboard for my PC that didn’t include Bluetooth connectivity. This little adapter saved me a lot of money and frustration fixing I mistake I didn’t realize I made.

It was very easy to install, and already had its drivers. I installed this in a Dell Optiplex 9010 that had no Bluetooth and it worked perfectly out of the box.
