Incredible, price-effective solution

If you've been having bluetooth connectivity issues and have tried everything else (or want to spare yourself the stress), get this. It works, and it works well. Excellent investment. No more choppy headset and much greater range.

Nice Bluetooth Add-on for PC

If your motherboard is older and did not come with Bluetooth, this is a good adapter. Great for headphones and game controllers.

Works Great!

Bought it to pair my BT headphones with desktop computer. Works great! Just make sure to disable any onboard bluetooth first. Am receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for my feedback.

Excellent Range and Reliability

I purchased this to replace a similar Bluetooth 4.0 device of another brand in order to improve range. It works very well on Windows 10 with my Bose QC 35 headphones. My range with these headphones has greatly improved. I'm now even able to walk upstairs without losing connection or experiencing audio artifacts. With the latest build of Windows 10 Pro (20H2), it works pretty consistently to stream full quality stereo audio, then transition to allow the headphones to be used as a headset for a VOIP call (lower bitrate, but also with mic output), then transition back automatically after the call. Also works to stream my Samsung Galaxy S10e audio output to my PC sound system (after installing Bluetooth Audio Receiver from the Windows store for free). Occasionally this won't initiate and I have to restart my PC if I want that function to work. That's probably more to do with Windows than this device however.

ASUS BT-500 Bluetooth adapter

I tried to get the device to work in my desktop computer (did not have Bluetooth). I could not get it to work even with ASUS tech support. Tried the device in my old HP laptop (did not have Bluetooth) and it worked great. Automatically installed the windows drivers and connected to a Bluetooth speaker just fine.

Hi performance, good price, in stock

One of a few adapters available using the recent USB 5.0 standard. Appears to send a stronger signal -- at least it provided better service than the USB 4.0 adapter it replaced. This item is in short supply. I checked many other sources; all were either out of stock or had a much higher price.

Excellent Bluetooth Transceiver!

ASUS makes the best computer parts and peripherals. This BT5 transceiver is exactly as pictured and works perfectly. The driver software went on effortlessly, my accessories connected immediately and worked as expected. This product was out of stock and back ordered when I purchased it, but Adorama kept the order live until they received the product for shipping. You can't beat Adorama for quality products and excellent customer service!
