Nice device, works fine on LInux (Mint 16 and 17)

Okay, I hate when people test things before actually using them. So I gave him a little over a month to give him a good workout. This device works great. I'm running Linux on the machines I bought this for - one machine with Mint 16 and another machine with Mint 17. SO THIS REVIEW IS FOR A FEATURE IN LINUX MINT. It came with a driver CD for Windoze, but I haven't tried it on that OS. On the Linux distributions I mentioned, it works flawlessly and automatically - just plug it in and in a second…

Pros
  • Excellently made
Cons
  • Crumpled

Not bad overall - don't use the Toshiba BT stack driver!

For some reason I was skeptical about this product (it scored less than 4 stars overall). Right after purchase and arrival I did what others suggested (find and use a Toshiba bluetooth stack driver). Note. The Toshiba BT Stack driver did not support Windows 8 and the sound was poor due to a lot of interference. Note. Soundbot seems to have updated its drivers and is using CSR software (the one developed by APT-X). With this driver the sound is very good. I don't have any major complaints as…

Pros
  • Lasting Test Results
Cons
  • Disappear

Great switch just not plug and play as advertised.

It is for making my non-bluetooth device into a bluetooth enabled device. Other than that, this plug and play device is not a PLUG and play device. Very misleading, but for this to work you need to do the following: 1. Connect it to the port. Assign this port to this device only (do not toggle the toggle switch to another port, it will not work)2. Use the CD and follow the instructions (turn on detection and always turn on, everything else is fine) 3. Wait for all drivers to be installed. (I…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different

Works great for the price with SoundBot's latest drivers!

Decided to buy mainly because it was only $8. I have a Kinivo BTD-400 adapter on another computer and almost bought another one for my second computer. However, since this SoundBot adapter was $6 cheaper and had many reviews, I was willing to lose $8 if it didn't work. The advice to try Toshiba drivers was one of my other deciding factors. Unfortunately, after purchasing this adapter, I noticed in the comments that Toshiba drivers have a 30-day trial period. Having already bought the adapter, I

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Good but not great

For MUCH better sound quality use the Toshiba stack drivers

. Really easy to install but the included drivers give the worst sound quality ever! It looks like you are in an underwater tunnel. I bought this thing to make my wireless headphones work, so I was really hoping for better quality. After some searching I found a simple solution. I can't post links but search google for BT-stack-64bit-toshiba. You can find the Toshiba apps site where you can download 32 or 64 bit drivers. Once installed, right-click the device and select Sound Quality: High…

Pros
  • . Expensive but decent
Cons
  • . You could have chosen a newer model.

Stay away from it. It works but there are problems. It comes with an installation disc, but once you install and use it, it runs about 5 different services when I need it for one thing. It connects to Bluetooth devices, but the results aren't very good. The sound is delayed. I followed the steps to turn off power management so it's always on. I've tried various "allow an app to take exclusive control of this device" settings and I've even set it as a device in-game. This device can work without

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Just burn your money instead.

POS [Don't trust the reviews - except this one (Catch-22)] 200MB software download? lame. It worked but made my computer slow. removed and the OS software uninstalled, the computer works properly again. Oh, and it is, not to mention it will cause BSODoh. And I saw something about the impact on power consumption in another test. I bought this device as a cheap alternative to connecting controllers to my PC. If you try that, just buy an Xbox 1 controller and wireless adapter combo from Microsoft…

Pros
  • Great variety
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

It works great and is a good deal for the price

I bought this to use with my old netbook which doesn't have bluetooth. Since I'm only using Linux I wasn't sure if that would work, but the system recognized it immediately and showed the bluetooth control icon in the menu bar. From then on everything ran smoothly. Plugged into two different headsets, one was my own SB220 KickBot, as well as my Oontz Wedge bluetooth speaker, it works great and is a good deal for the price. I didn't have to use the installation CD that came with it, so I can't…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • No insurance
