Review on Avantree DG60 Long Range Bluetooth 5.0 USB Adapter: Superior Sound Wireless Dongle for PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Linux - aptX Low Latency, Headphones & Speakers Compatible by Tracey Horve

DO NOT buy, not reliable, not as promised.

Be careful, most of these negative reviews are correct. I took it with a grain of salt and bought one of these DG60's which was a mistake. (For TL;DR, scroll down.) Pros: Sound quality via APTX HD is incredible and there are no lip-sync issues due to latency (used Sony XM3s). Cons: Volume increases automatically for no reason. You simply CANNOT enjoy video games or music while trying to chat on something like Discord. This will force your Bluetooth device to go into "Call" mode, making all sounds harsh and of very low quality. No other Bluetooth transceiver I've used does this. The range is good, but if a person or animal gets between your device and the transmitter, they'll fall or stutter. To fix these problems, I tried every USB port on my computer. (12 to be precise, from USB 2.0 to USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt Gen 3). Tried different headphones and earbuds. Tried an additional PCI X1 USB card with its own controller on the board, thinking it might be a problem with the USB controller as the motherboard only uses USB ports with a few controllers. I ended up trying another computer. NONE of these fixed the problem. This "sound card" is junk and doesn't keep what it promises. I suggest taking a look at Creative Labs BT-W3. They first launched in June 2020 and are currently only available directly from Creative Labs. Same sonic power and range, smaller size, lower price, more reliable, and have been used in the computing community for decades.
