Revainrating 4 out of 5

I FINALLY have a legitimate Windows 10 audio system again!

WOW, after so many, many, many years (I mean about ten years) of cumbersome audio setup, I'm finally hearing authentic audio from my Windows 10 system. I've been using Hyper-V (virtualized instances of Windows 10) and Bluetooth is really struggling with that. This dongle connects directly to my headphones with no issues, and the audio works exactly as expected: no lag or delay, which usually happens with all my Windows 10 and virtualization audio experiences. I even get a windows 10 sound app that currently uses sound. For example, when playing a movie in the Chrome browser in one of my Hyper-V instances, I can zoom in/out on my headphones and a Windows 10 volume control appears in the top left corner with the Movie/Chrome tab name . ! This has *never* happened to me in all my time with Windows 10 and Bluetooth audio. One piece of advice if you get this key: make sure you update your firmware. I almost sent this unit back when I first tried it because despite all the excitement about how well it worked, I kept hearing a popping sound every 15-20 seconds. I updated the firmware to the latest version (January 2021) and the problem was solved. I am pleased! Finally the sound as it should be. <3
