Long Range Bluetooth 5.3 USB Adapter for PC, 492FT Plug and Play Wireless Transmitter Dongle for Windows 11/10/8.1/7, Pair W/Bluetooth Headset Headphones Speaker Mouse Keyboard

Picked this up to use with Home Assistant and it’s been spot on. Plugged it in, recognised straight away, and paired with my Bluetooth devices without any faff.The range is decent. No dropouts or connection issues so far.Solid bit of kit if you're running a smart home setup and need reliable Bluetooth coverage. Great value for the price too.

Initially I was skeptical about buying a receiver this cheap, but I needed to try something. I could not be more happy with the result.The thing is plug and play; you get a blue indicator light when its connected and it works like a charm.I've been using it daily for the past few weeks, and I only had one problem. I jumped on a video call, and the earbuds would only play one at a time. But I disconnected/reconnected and it worked like a charm after that. The range is pretty good and I have noticed no issues with sound quality. I am not much of an audiophile, but I love music, and being able to pop this into my work computer and press play has been a terrific experience.When paired with the adaptor, it doesn't handoff to other devices so easily, but that is a welcome addition, since I typically only want to stay on the one device at work. But if you want to switch between your phone or your ipad its pretty straightforward.The advert should mention that it works well with apple headphones but not with apple devices. I tried to plug this into my macbook air, but it didn't work. I cannot tell if this is because I used an aftermarket adaptor (the device is usb and my ports are only usb-c) or because apple devices dont register it, so buyer beware.One interesting thing is that it does not pause the music when you remove one bud, which is a bit odd, but the volume control and other haptic features work the same.Its only been a few weeks, but I am very please with the product. I have not yet tried connecting my airpods max, but given how easily the pros connected, I don't foresee an issue.It works as advertised, its cheap and it doesnt require batteries. Awesome purchase.

Does the job. Make sure to deactivate motherboard bluetooth or they get corrupted.

Too early to advise of longevity of the quality of the bluetooth device, however, I have installed in on my Windows 11 PC and installation was plug and play, I've initially tried the bluetooth connectivity to my watch as I will be using this to receive a heartbeat broadcast when riding on Zwift.It feels to be good quality and the finish is excellent, so far this is good value for money

Works well now....Great range from my PC to my Bluetooth earbuds, i can head off into different rooms now but....It took several attempts to get the correct driver installed when I first got it and even now I often need to turn off and back on again in the settings for the Bluetooth link to get past timing issues with Lip-Sync on video footage where the mouths don't match the sound.... though I can't say for certain that the issue isn't actually with my earbuds??!!But still, when working it works well

When I bought this I was sceptical about the range though when I set it up and tested the range I was very surprised how what range it would actually go. Living on a 6 acre farm I was able to go down the drive with no loss of sound or connection or any noticeable lag through the Bluetooth headset I was testing it with. Very easy to set up also.

The info on this was a bit conflicting the table at the bottom of the page said it would work with linux the advert didn't, thought i would give it a go.The adaptor was picked up as a second bluetooth device but failed to function. so sent it back.

Works perfectly, simple plug and play set up!
