I would recommend this to a friendDisappointed with Mislabeled Bluetooth Device
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.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
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.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.

A simple Bluetooth receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the Bluetooth adapter I use for my desktop, and it works so well I bought another one to use on my laptop! (It’s weird that said laptop didn’t already come with Bluetooth functionality and needed it added, but whatever.) Setup on recent Windows computers (which is the only OS I have reference for) is pretty easy, instructions are included in the package. Setup on older Windows computers is trickier because you may be missing some drivers for some Bluetooth devices, but a quick online search should turn them up and get everything working!

Just what I needed.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! I have an older setup that doesn't have Bluetooth built in, so this was just the upgrade I needed. I was able plug it in to my Windows 10 computer and it automatically worked. Now I just have to upgrade my operating system--even though it's only supposed to work with Windows, I found out online that there's a workaround for getting it to work with Linux, so I might try that in the future.
