    Disappointed with Mislabeled Bluetooth Device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I just found out I bought this Bluetooth device advertised as Bluetooth 5.0, but upon closer inspection and testing, I discovered it was Bluetooth 4.0. This discrepancy has led to several issues and disappointments. Misleading Advertising: The biggest issue is the false advertising. I was expecting the enhanced features of Bluetooth 5.0, such as faster data transfer rates, longer range, and improved power efficiency. Limited Range: Bluetooth 4.0 has a significantly shorter range compared to Bluetooth 5.0. I noticed frequent disconnections when moving more than 10 meters away from the device1. Slower Data Transfer: The data transfer speed is noticeably slower. Bluetooth 5.0 offers up to 2 Mbps, while Bluetooth 4.0 is limited to 1 Mbps1. Power Efficiency: One of the reasons I opted for Bluetooth 5.0 was its improved power efficiency, which is not present in this device1.

    Broke After Only 3 Weeks

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This Bluetooth adapter stopped working after about three weeks, just long enough to be ineligible for a return. Very disappointing experience with a product that should last longer. I would recommend looking for a more reliable option if you need a Bluetooth adapter that can hold up.

    Worked like a champ! Budget friendly and will get you out of a pickle if you are a bottlenecked with not having the ability of having Bluetooth on your device! Thinking of picking up multiple more as it is easier than putting in an internal device for this purpose. Works good on my workstation at work and at home.

    I have had to buy two of these Bluetooth USB Adapters. One was for my mother's laptop when it's Bluetooth wasn't working right. The other was for my Desktop computer when I discovered that it didn't have Bluetooth. In both cases, these adapters saved the day. My mom's laptop now has better Bluetooth reception while my desktop can now support my wireless headphones. Hopefully, I won't have to get another one, but if I did need to get one, Insignia will be my first choice.

    I mean not much to say. Worked as intended. Let me connect my 11 year old WII remote to my computer to let me play super mario bros. Worth every penny. I do want to put in that I didn't need to install any drivers for this but I think that is because I already installed the Bluetooth drivers a coupple months prior to this. Just make sure to always check if you need the drivers.

    Easy Plug and Play Bluetooth Upgrade

    I bought this Bluetooth 5.0 USB adapter to add wireless connectivity to my older desktop that lacked built-in Bluetooth, and it's worked flawlessly right out of the box. Setup was straightforward. I just plugged it into a USB port on my Windows 10 machine, and it installed drivers automatically without any hassle. Now I can connect my headphones, mouse, and keyboard seamlessly, with stable connections up to a good distance in my office. The adapter supports faster data transfer and lower latency compared to older versions I've used, making it great for streaming audio or transferring files without interruptions. It's compact and doesn't protrude much, so it stays out of the way. For the price, it provides excellent value and compatibility with Windows 8.1 through 11. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to modernize their setup affordably. Thanks, Best Buy, for this handy accessory!

    This USB Bluetooth adapter works very well and was extremely easy to set up. It truly is plug-and-play—no extra drivers or complicated steps needed. The connection was fast and stable, and it paired quickly with my devices. Overall, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and I’m very happy with this purchase.

    Plug n Play worked seemlessly on an old Xeon Haswell build from 2014 stuck in Windows 10 because the CPU is too old to upgrade to Windows 11. Got it to pair my Apple AirPods gen 4.

    Works great with Linux. I've had one of these dongles for many years now and have only ever ran it with Linux. Both fedora and Ubuntu/Debian based distros were used for long periods of time with it without issue. Never used an arch based distro. Although it would almost guaranteed work. Bought a second one after buying a ugreen bt6.0 dongle that wasn't supported by Linux. Would recommend
