QGOO USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter Dongle - Wireless Receiver for Data Transfer and Audio Streaming

Kayla Horn: Nice and easy to install. I use it for a bluetooth connection for my PC. Works really well and is still working well as of this review. Have it plugged into a USB hub with other devices and still going. Love it.

Laurie: Received item very quickly. Came with a CD for the drivers and install process. Installed this on a 10-year-old Dell laptop running Windows 10 in order to connect a bluetooth keyboard and wireless headphones. The instructions that came in the package were so tiny I had to get out a magnifying glass to read it, but that's pretty typical these days. The CD contained a soft copy of the instructions anyway. After running through the setup, Windows kept telling me the drivers for the device were not installed. So after googling for answers to this issue (since the company's help resource was of no use), I found that I just needed to go into Devices, right click on each of the three bluetooth "devices" and run "install drivers from existing files." After I did this, I was able to pair both devices and everything's working great. So not really "plug and play"...took about 45 minutes to get it all figured out. But would recommend this device as it seems to be working fine now. In the company's defense, they can't possibly anticipate all the nuances of every old computer's systems and setups and provide help on all of them. - so no harm, no foul.

Gary: There were several adapters of this type to choose from on Amazon. I'm not really sure why I selected this particular one. I did go over reviews. The price at $9 seemed very reasonable.

I installed this adapter on an old Gateway (2005 vintage, Pentium D processor) computer running Windows 10 Home (Version 1909). The computer has no built-in Bluetooth capability. I assumed by reading the description on Amazon that this adapter was Plug and Play. I tried that. But I needed to install CSR 4.0 (Bluetooth Harmony) from the supplied CD-R. The supplied printed instructions are very difficult to read. The screen images are not clear. The CD-R has a PDF of the instructions so I printed those out. During the installation of CRS 4.0 there was a screen to select three default settings: "Discovery Mode", "SCMS-T" and "Device Type". The Device Type was clear enough ("Laptop" or "PC/Desktop"). I was not clear how to set the first two options. However, the instructions specified the default settings to use.

Once I got this installed, I went to the Windows Settings, System, Sound. There are two choices related to the Bluetooth: "Bluetooth Audio Renderer (Bluetooth Stereo Audio)" and...

ZenataZenata: I primarily bought this device for use with my gaming PC. I intended on using Bose QC35 Headphones and a Steelseries Stratus XL (with the updated drivers installed already). The first time I used this device, it worked after a bit of tinkering. Less than a day later, the controller had stopped pairing entirely and simply says "No pairing response received" when I attempt to re-add it. Everything I've done has not fixed it. My last resort is a complete system restore, but it honestly isn't worth the time at this point. Bear in mind that this same controller works absolutely fine on my Note 9 and Macbook 2016. The Bose headphones are having issues too; they pretty much always default to the handsfree headset mode when initially paired. This mode is essentially call-quality audio and sounds terrible. It also picks up my voice and replays it back to me. It's unusable. The only way I can get it to stop and go back to the standard stereo audio is to restart my computer a time or two. Disabling the handsfree profile does nothing to stop this from occuring. Not pleased with this and will likely buy a pcie bluetooth adapter instead of these third-party dongles.

UPDATE: I freshly...
