Good Concept, Harder Execution
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really excited about this adapter so that I could use my Bluetooth headphones but it didn't immediately connect when I plugged it in. I tried several trouble shooting steps but wasn't able to get it to connect. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a plug and play. I'll give it another try because I think it is a great gadget that will be extremely useful with my laptop (which doesn't have Bluetooth capabilities).

Finally got it to work!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a heck of a time trying to get windows 10 to even recognize this adapter. But heres how I did it..... Open Device Manager in windows (via search in bottom left) In the list you will find Other Devices, under that you'll see Bcm20702a0, right click it and choose "Update Driver". Then on next screen choose option "Browse My Computer For Drivers." On next screen choose "Let Me Pick From A List Of Available Drivers On My Computer." In the next window (in box 1) scroll down to "GenericAdapter" and select it, then in box 2 select "Generic Bluetooth Adapter" and hit next. Should be a cakewalk from there. Might have to restart the pc. There is an alternative way to install the correct drivers through Windows update, but its a pain for anyone not installing updates. As far as the device it works, and does what its supposed to. The reason it got 3 stars is because the range on this is horrible, works fine if youre less than 12 ft from the adapter, 13 ft and you WILL lose signal. if range is a big deal to you, spend a few bucks more and get a bluetooth 5.0 adapter, as this is only 4.0

Good, Wouldn’t say it’s the best option.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bluetooth has its limitations and so does this adapter. I got this adapter in order for my PC to work with my Bluetooth keyboard. At first I put it in the back of my computer. It would work, but I would experience some slight delayed inputs every few keystrokes. I then put in the front ports of my computer where it was more in line of sight with my keyboard and I’ve had very few problems.

Good Bluetooth companion
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I brought this product once before and it broke fairly easily after a year of use. Don’t know how, but it did. I’m hoping this one lasts a tad bit longer, but if you need it in a pinch for Bluetooth capability then it works wonderfully. Would recommend.

Solid Connection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to use with my Windows 10 Pro system since the latest Microsoft Update knocked out my internal Blu-tooth. The adapter was immediately recognized by Windows 10 and allowed my to pair my blu-tooth mouse and keyboard with no problem. I cannot speak as to if it works with sound or not.
