It works great with Mac Mini (2018)!

As most people know, Mac Minis are notorious for Bluetooth issues, especially audio skipping. With Apple not really acknowledging this deal-breaker issue, I've made numerous attempts to fix my audio issues, from wiping NVRAM/PRAM to reinstalling the OS, disabling USB connections to even moving a Mac Mini inside by 1 foot from my brand name. new BT5.0 earphones (which have not had problems with any other device). All "solutions" have failed. I bought this BT device for another use but since then I haven't used it anymore as I found a better solution to this particular problem. A year later I remembered I had this device and I plugged it into my Mac Mini just to see if it would work and to my surprise it works great! The sound quality is the same as Mac's BT output. by itself, and the best part is that this device solved the audio skipping issues and even increased my BT range. The audio no longer cuts out when I move my head slightly (yes, Mac Mini's BT connection is that sensitive). Better still, my headphones not only connect every time I turn them on, they stay connected; and pairing was easy: just press the pairing button on the earbuds and set the TX mode on the BT device, stay within 1m during the initial pairing process and it will just connect. Mac side setup was easy, plug it in. On a Mac Mini it detects the device (in TX mode) as a USB 2.0 audio device, sets the audio output to BT device and it just works. No extra wires, no external power cord required, it just works. Now that I have headphones on my own BT device my Magic Mouse works better too as it no longer bounces when I have headphones and a mouse. paired with Mac BT. The very small form factor (less than a quarter) is a big advantage if you want to keep a clean setup. It's worth it. Note. This only streams audio, don't expect this to work with other devices like keyboards or mice.
