Expensive and still need USB extension cable

First of all, it should have been free for those who already own Bose NC 700. Why do we have to pay for their mistake that Bose could not do it right the very first time?
Second, I still cannot plugin directly to laptop or computer - it could not overcome the radio frequencies emitted by laptop or computer. So, I have to keep this away from a computer using USB extension cable or plugin to a docking station.
The only difference between this and ten dollar Bluetooth adapter is once they are paired I can just plug this into any computer and it works automatically – I do not need to search my Bose NC 700 from Windows or Mac OS.

The USB link works as advertised. Connects easily and quickly. Works well with my Bose 700 headphones on my work computer that doesn't have built in Bluetooth and is normally locked from Bluetooth adapters. This seems to just show it as headphones plugged in and transmits the Bluetooth on its own to get around the Bluetooth restrictions on the work computer. Doesn't work with my Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds. So, just be aware it is only for the Bose 700. Is expensive but I'm happy that I can now use my Bose 700s for work.

Bit pricy but works perfect as expected. Good sounds quality when sounds only mode. Sounds quality drops when headset is in mic mode (ex: discord, zoom, teams, etc) but this is standard behavior among every bluetooth headset connects to Windows. Very stable connection. Works well with QC45 as well.

I got this with my Best Buy points - I would NOT pay for this Bose USB Link... but a nice tool for those working with PC(s). This USB link is a pain to get it to work and keep working for those in the Apple world. But works nicely with Pc(s).

pairs well with bose noise cancelling 700, however, costs too much given its just a bluetooth adapter. Would be nice if was USB-C in order to work with newer laptops

Works well with direct connection with a computer but on Smart TV(s) it is a bit of an issue - maybe the brand of TV

Too expensive for what it does. It works as described but the price makes it unattractive.

These add no value. In fact, feels like it makes it worse.
the Speakers themselves are still great quality, I just don't understand $70 for a usb linc that does nothing but cause problems.

It helps with connect of the Bose 700 Headset as it is more streamlined. Not really improved quality but helpful.
I think it is overpriced but no other option
