desertcart.com: Kinivo USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC BTD400 (Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle Receiver, Low Energy) - Compatible with Windows 11/10/8.1/8, Raspberry Pi, Linux, Laptop & Headphones : Electronics

Review: Great product! Highly recommended :-D - I have been through several similar products and had a LOT of issues with those. You might say that I'm fairly tech savvy (I'm a C++/Java programmer, have setup/customized/maintained MANY Windows and Linux PCs, and have done driver troubleshooting before). Anyway, tried to resolve my issues on the other dongles but the problems I was having appeared to be from the drivers. *THIS PRODUCT* (Kinivo) worked pretty much out of the box (technically I installed from CD first and then from the web), on the first try, and I didn't have to do any deep dive troubleshooting. Had my headset working perfectly within minutes of the install! :-D For my setup, I have full tower pc behind a plasma tv and am mostly using this to pair with a really cheap wireless headset (for chatting while gaming). It is working perfectly with the Kinivo (great sound, great signal, relatively painless setup). Decently fast shipping. Can't think of any cons. In case, you are trying to decide between other products; here is some more info for reference: 1. Note: I will be using the smile.desertcart.com links (proceeds towards non-profits of your choice). If you don't want to do that, just replace them with www.desertcart.com. 2. My (admittedly cheap) BT headset is an "eForCity® Silver Bluetooth Headset". desertcart page - eForCity® Silver Bluetooth Headset 3. The first BT dongle that I tried (unsuccessfully) and had problems with was a SANOXY USB. IIRC, this was just using the basic Windows bluetooth drivers. Maybe it would have worked fine with a higher end headset... but since I was able to connect headset-to-phone without any sound issues, I'm blaming the drivers on the dongle. desertcart page - SANOXY® USB Bluetooth Wireless Adapter for HP, Gateway, eMachine, Dell or ANY Laptop/PC Running Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 200, XP, Vista & WINDOWS 7 4. The second BT dongle I had tried was the SoundBot SB340. This one had some CSR brand drivers but I also had a lot of problems getting my generic device to work correctly / not have horribly sound quality. desertcart page - SoundBot® SB340 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter Universal Plug and Play Dongle Class 2 Transmitter (Newest Bluetooth Version Available) Ready Adapter w/ 3Mbps Data Transfer Rate and 10 meters Range, Compatible w/ Windows WIN8 WIN7 Vista 2003 XP 2000 Me 32/64 ... 5. I think I could connect and pair under both of the previous options, but I had a lot of problems with sound quality, particularly with white noise. No such problems with the Kinivo (I've already used it on Steam voice chat and my brother reported that I was coming in loud and clear). For the first 2 dongles, I had originally tried from my USB3.0 port which I later discovered USB3.0 can can interference problems with any wireless devices that use the 2.4GHz spectrum. I did try from my USB2.0 port as well, but no luck there either. The only major change since the first 2 is that I replaced my old 2', non-powered USB2 hub with a 6', powered USB2.0 so that it gets out from behind the TV better. This probably helps, but I believe my white noise problems on the other dongles were driver issues as I had also tested with the TV moved out of the way and clear LOS between the headset and the old dongles (and maybe 4-5' away) . If it works this well for my el cheapo headset, I imagine that you would get even better results with higher end headsets. disclaimer: I am by no means an audiophile. I probably have a slight hearing problem (too much loud music lol). But I'm not deaf either and I am basing this not only off feedback via a recording app but also live chats with someone at the other end. Hope that helps!
Review: In a world where installation can be a nightmare, this product was inexpensive, installed relatively easily, and works great! - I have an old ASUS laptop Which is the computer I use most, simply because I do most of my computing sitting on my couch (no I don't weigh 500 lbs, and I do actually leave the house and have an active social life heehe). Anyway, the speakers on the laptop work but have a maximum volume and sound quality consistent with being tiny built-in speakers. I had been using speakers connected with a mini stereo plug, but through normal use the stereo connection on the laptop got damaged and would no longer drive a speaker. The laptop did not have Bluetooth, so I read many reviews of add on Bluetooth adapters. The BTD-400 was rated highly and had a great price (and free delivery with desertcart Prime - mine came today, a Sunday! Yay desertcart). I've supported computers for years so I was prepared to possibly spend a long time getting it up and running. I'm running Windows 10, so was prepared for anything. The brief version: I encountered onl very minor issues getting things properly set up, and I now have Bluetooth speakers working with my machine. It is awesome. When I inserted the adapter in a USB port, the drivers were not automatically downloaded. The next suggested step is to use the included CD. It did not autorun (a quirk of my laptop and/or Windows 10) so I manually clicked the exe on the root of the CD, and followed prompts. Once the software was installed, it said some features may not be available until after a reboot. I've learned to give things a chance and go a step at a time. I opened network connections and double clicked the bluetooth network object, and on the resulting screen clicked Add a device on the top left. It scanned for Bluetooth devices and found my printer and found the bluetooth speaker which I had turned on. I clicked on the speaker, and set the speaker in discovery mode (most devices have a way to put them in mode to seek a connection, refer to your device manual), and clicked next. It went to a screen that displayed, working on it, and stuck there. I waited several minutes and never got a completion message. I ended up closing all the windows and rebooting, and retried. This time it did not find the speaker when it listed devices. When I went to the device manager and expanded the Bluetooth item, the speaker was listed there. I went to Control Panel, clicked on Sound, and the bluetooth speaker was listed there along with the laptop speakers. I right clicked the bluetooth speaker, clicked Set as default device, and played a Youtube video. Voila! I now have Bluetooth speakers, and they sound great. The connection is reliable and stayed selected thru several reboots. So as I said, had it up and running with only basic troubleshooting. Did not have to fool around with removing, reinstalling, dowloaded newest drivers, or any such rigamarole. I am very happy with my purchase, and recommend the product.

It worked great on the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. Went to Settings | Bluetooth and paired my headphones. Sounds better than when I was using the cable with the same headphones.
