Revainrating 1 out of 5

Damn range. crap software.

This one might be bad, but I can't get more than 2 meters from my computer with my Bluetooth headphones. I figured this would give me a smartphone-like range and allow me to get up from my desk without removing my headphones. My computer is under a wooden table, but the signal only drops out 6 feet away, even within line of sight. The interface is even worse. I have Windows 7 but didn't realize I needed to download software to play music over bluetooth. My computer seems to recognize the key, but the computer's audio playback menu doesn't show the device, so I had to use a CD to download some crappy software that looks like it's from the early 2000s. Did I expect something different? I was hoping the experience would be similar to my old laptop with built in Bluetooth, but I may have missed that. It just doesn't seem to be doing what I was hoping for. I will change the rating if someone corrects my expectations. Otherwise I'll look for another brand.
