Would not buy again
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it to use with my lg tone ultra. The volume it delivered was just ok at first. Then for some reason it delivered only enough volume to let me know it was connected. I then tried it with my Jam head phones and the volume is good. Dissapointed since i bought it to use mainly with my Tone.

Blue tooth for the non-blue tooth laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price, good product. Only thing that is a little tricky is getting it installed and working properly. I had it working for a month then it stopped working after a update. Had to re-install to get it to work again.

I do not recommend this for Windows 10 users

Bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I searched for one of these in the stores a couple times. They were always sold out. Works as advertised. The only drawback is every once in a while it stops connecting to my Bluetooth mouse. Sometimes I have to restart the computer to get it to recognize the mouse, it's kind of annoying.

High latency, no range
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this so that I can pair it with my PS4 controller, should have trusted my gut and went with a different brand. My setup: Windows 10 x64, i7 5820k, 64gb ddr4 2400mhz, GeForce 970 gtx x2 (SLI), 500gb Ssd, 3tb HDD. Cons: ** Range - this is advertised as 20' range, which is a pretty blatant lie. Just to give you an idea of my setup: My PC is about 3 feet away from me and I have nothing between the port that this dongle is plugged into and me, and I would constantly lose signal... Sure it'll connect 5-6 ft away, but you'll constantly lose singal. ** Latency - I ran ds4windows to do some tests, and when your device is more than half a foot from the dongle, the latency constantly spikes above 10MS, and with gaming having 1ms being the difference between landing a shot or being shot, this dongle becomes useless. I had to plug it into a usb extension cord and attach the dongle the armrest of my chair in order to get decent latency (below 5ms, which is still horrible). ** Annoying bright light - The light is built into the dongle and there is no way to turn it off, it is super bright and blinks every time anything happens on the device that is plugged in. With having my game pad plugged in, this thing constantly flashed, and it's so bright that your eyes automatically switch to it while your gaming, you have to hide the light or your brain will force your eyes to constantly glance at it since you're hyper aware of any changes to the environment while your gaming. Honestly insignia, why do we need to be notified of every single bit of data exchange that happens between our devices and this dongle with an annoying bright blue flash? Pros: ** Setup - setting up for Windows 10 was simple as can be, plugged it in and it was immoderately recognized. Honestly it was the only good thing about this dongle. Final words: I wouldn't recommend this thing to anybody that doesn't want to be closer than 6 inches to the dongle at all times to be able to use it without constant connection drops.

Does NOT work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed this adapter for my HP desktop. I have a set of bluetooth earphones and wanted to utilize this adapter for this purpose. After reading the reviews for this, I ordered it (and wasted my Best Buy certificate on it btw). I plugged it in, and Windows 7 could not find a driver for it. So plug and play -- no way. Based off the (shoddy) instructions and online forums, I followed all instructions but still could not get this adapter's driver to recognize the device. If you go to Insignia's online support sites, you'll find I'm not the only one with this problem -- and Insignia isn't helpful at all.
