1Mii USB Bluetooth 5.0 Audio Transmitter Adapter for PC

Don Pakundo: I have had the ROG Strix Fusion 700 since 2019 and I never used it. I just didn't want to pull my PS4 then and PS5 now, off the shelf if I used it with a USB cable. It has sat in the box for 3 years.

My old PS Gold headset recently retired and my HyperX Cloud Alpha is slowly dying on me so I thought, why not look for a USB bluetooth dongle. Most of the one I saw came with a little mic that you plug in on controller. I don't now about you but when I play, my controller is closer to my waist than my mouth so unless your balls do the talking for you, that mic on the controller is useless.

Until I found this one, I read the reviews and a couple of the answers saying it's compatible with the PS5 and party chat at the same time. I thought you know what, for the price, it's worth the punt. So instead of going out and spending £200-£300 on a new headset, I can now use my ROG Strix Fusion 700 wirelessly via bluetooth with my PS5 and the chat works flawlessly.

Just to confirm, this works with PS5, ROG Strix Fusion 700 (bluetooth headset) and I have also tried it with my Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds. I had now problems with the connection. The set up instruction...

ReverendOlaf: This is an remarkable device that gets so much right, and with another button it could be amazing. The idea of an audio only Bluetooth dongle that bypasses drivers and the issues with Windows is a great one. aptX HD is a huge plus. If I could get that without the frustrating buttons, I'd be raving.

So what went wrong?

The button and the incorrect documentation. The one button acts to pair, pair a second device (another perk, but not one I need), clear all paired devices, and switch from aptX LL to aptX HD, and maybe aptX (it connects using that codec, but the button seems to only swap LL for HD with the OG aptX just happening at random). The issue is that the manual (and common sense) has the pairing mode coming after a few seconds, not anything more than a split second. The swap between LL and HD should be a simple press, but it ignores a split second, yet another more enters a pairing mode (which is a PITA to leave). Ugh!!!! If a separate button existed, it could take over swap function.

So if you're willing to deal with frustration for crisp clear sound (not quite LDAC, but still very good), this likely is your best bet.

Jon J.: Good quality if you just want to use for audio-output from your PC to your bluetooth headphones (listening to music, videos, or games without mic).

However, if you plan to use these for the mic on your bluetooth headset, don't bother. There is a loud electronic hissing noise that occurs when you engage the mic/call mode. It happens no matter what pair of headsets you use (I tried it on 3 different ones).

Also, just an FYI, this dongle will not automatically revert to call/mic mode once a video call starts. This is a separate "mode" you have to engage every time there is call, by double clicking the button on the dongle before your meeting starts to put them in call/mic mode. Not very seamless.

Not sure if mine is defective but did not work for me unfortunately.

RalphaelRalphael: update: Even though I managed to pair both my Sony Headphone and my Woojer Vest, subsequent turning on requires repeated turning on and off both headphone and vest until they do connect. I don't know whose fault is it, whether it might be Woojer refusing to connect or that the dual link doesn't like to kick in when the Sony headphones are connected in Aptx mode. It is nice to see my WH-1000XM3 connect in Apt-x mode when I first turn it on; the led light is green. Powering on the Woojer vest afterwards would turn the LED light to blue and then both the headphone and woojer vest would seem to be connected but no sound. Powering off both or powering off the Sony headphone then powering it back up, then powering off the woojer vest doesn't seem to fix. I then powered both off again and only powering on the Sony headphones and the music came back on. Then I once again powered up the Woojer vest and you can hear the gap in the music, the woojer vest flickers on then off. The I tried once more powering up the woojer vest and this time it catches on and the thumping begins. It seems to take a lot of willpower edging it to connect but once it does, it is wonderful to listen to. I am...

Patrick Robert: I use mostly this device to connect my bluetooth headset (shure 50) on a basic Win 10 laptop to perform Teams meetings. It works great. But you need to use properly the different modes that can be selected with the push button on the device.
The only con is the range, it is limited to 15-20f. It is, by far, less than advertised. Beyond that, it starts to cut.

Isaac.: Works with PlayStation 4. Plug in. Press and Hold USB Button to put it into Pair Mode. Worked with Headphones... then go to PS4 party menu when u press and hold the PS button.. go to sound / devices and set "Output to Headphones" to All Audio 🤲🏾 now.. when you double press the button on the USB, the mic on ur headphones work.. however the game audio quality is terrible. So it's one or the other.. not both :/

R.B.: Isn't it frustrating that in 2020 we are still fighting to get proper BT audio on the world's most widely used computer OS? A two year old android device can do just about whatever high-end codec you feel like throwing at it. Its not really surprising though when you realize it comes down to what hardware and ....unfortunately.... what proprietary stuff is associated with it. Smartphones and Headphones. Qualcomm and Sony. Licensing. Done.

Microsoft? Intel wifi/BT cards? High-end BT audio?! And there's the sticking point. Who pays to license? Intel or Microsoft? Apparently neither want to buck up. So enter third parties that hang a Qualcomm licensed part in the middle and sell it to us. Enter the 1Mii dongle.

Does it work? Kind of. But its a workaround and it shows. I haven't been able to evaluate it with aptx-HD, but soon should be able to. Thus far:

Pros:
Sound is appreciably better over aptx than standard SBC (direct from the PC)
Easy install
Controllable via Windows Volume Mixer (can use KB volume controls)
Easy, standard BT pairing
Remembers 2 devices

Cons:
Limited to 16bit/48khz? (as identified by Windows Sound Properties)
Only...

Alex: IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER - This is not a traditional Bluetooth adapter, it works a bit differently presumably because of the special decoding chips that are onboard, when you plug this in it will not show up as a additional bluetooth adapter in Windows settings unfortunately, and you can apparently only pair 1-2 devices on it at a time, and while the claim that its BT 5.0 could be true it is specifically only for audio based bluetooth devices, if you wanted to use this for a keyboard, mouse or some other device you will need to look elsewhere. It could be possible there is some hidden mode to connect non-audio devices but I have yet to discover a way to do so.

Ok so let me just say this thing is absolutely AMAZING, it absolutely supports APTX-HD despite other claims in these reviews, of course while the quality is top notch, its nowhere near as good as directly plugging in the AUX cord into your high end headphones but boy does it work.

So what did I mean by "works differently?" well basically the way it works is, instead of pairing the devices in Windows, they are paired to the adapter, all the pairing is also done directly using the button on the adapter, no software...
