Cheap, Got Job Done, Drops Connection Frequently
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this bluetooth adapter so that I could use a wireless xbox controller while gaming on my PC. Set up was as easy as plug-n-play. Got the job done. I have noticed, however, that it periodically drops the connection to the controller and have tested this with other devices such as a bluetooth speaker. Can be mildly annoying while in the middle of games. Considered maybe it's the range of the device however the desktop tower to the controller in my hand is less than 2 feet.

Works great 95% of the time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a way to easily shoot music directly from my Windows computer to my Bose QC35 headphones through iTunes, which is what I use for most of my music. After fiddling with audio settings on the computer, which has nothing to do with this device, the stream has been very good almost all of the time. The only issues are likely due to multiple other devices being in the area, which is pretty rare. Sometimes the device will act up a little bit and cause a temporary freeze of the computer, but just for a minute or two.

Wireless headphones to PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After some research on what the best Bluetooth dongle would be, I decided to go in and talk with someone and sure enough the gentleman that helped me was very helpful and knowledgeable. Once I told him what I was doing he immediately took me to what I needed. Got home and super easy set up and works like a charm. Wireless headphones now work excellent with my PC!!!

Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device added Bluetooth to the last computer my husband had started building 2 years ago. I took it over to a place to have them finish it after my husband's death. She recommended a device like this to give the computer Bluetooth, as the motherboard he used did not have that capability.

Good enough...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to give this product a better rating but if you have and older operating system such as Windows 7, you may find it is more difficult than it needs to be to install and use. Drivers do not come with this item, you will also have to do an extensive search and hopefully find what works. I was able to get it setup and installed and works well but getting there was quite a chore. Not sure about other operating systems, it should work but not sure how easily it will be to get it to that point. I would still recommend it in a pinch especially if nothing else is available for you.

Didn’t work with our work computer
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have a personal computer at home it might be good for you if you don’t have Bluetooth. My wife’s work computer didn’t have Bluetooth so I tried this. Security features and lack of administrative rights to download drivers hindered us from installing. Returned. Customer support seemed helpful from Insignia, but hassle with work IT wasn’t worth it. Probably good if it is your own computer and need Bluetooth capability.

Works fine, but had driver trouble
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seems to work great. I can connect my headphones without any real trouble. I wish it was Bluetooth 5, but that's not really the dongle's fault. The only problem was the driver. It didn't install automatically in Windows 10 like one would expect a basic Bluetooth adapter would. I had to pull up the device ID in control panel and scour Microsoft's driver page for the right one. If you aren't technically skilled, you aren't going to be able to install the driver.

Great So far!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just picked this little thing up today. I just built my own computer, to find out that my motherboard didn't have bluetooth installed on it already. That being said, I picked this up from Best Buy and it worked right away with no issues whatsoever. I was able to sync my xbox controller and start gaming right away! Would definitely recommend!
