Azio BTD-V201 USB Micro Bluetooth Adapter, Class 1, V2.1 + EDR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I looked at a zillion of these Bluetooth adapters, wanting to add BT to my wife's PC to sync her BlackBerry, and I saw this one consistently reviewed among the best on every site that sold it.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, the installation could not have been easier, I simply enabled the BT services in Win7, then plugged it into a USB port, and Win7 did the rest. The whole deal took less than 1 minute.
What attracted me to this adapter was it seemed to work farther away than most of the other adapters, according to others who had purchased several different ones.
The cool part is now my wife can sync her BlackBerry with her Outlook calendar - when her computer is upstairs in her office, and her BlackBerry is downstairs in the kitchen in her purse !!
Highly recommend this adapter, I'll be getting more for my other computers.

Cirago Micro USB Bluetooth 3.0 Adapter Class 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is NOT the new 3.0 + HS Bluetooth standard protocal. It DOES NOT use AMP/PAL which uses the colocated 802.11 at speeds up to 24Mbits/second. NOT the 1 to 3 Mbits/second of the old 2.1 Bluetooth that this Cirago uses.

It is very misleading for Cirago to 'cash in' on false advertising claims. Cirago's claim to the 3.0 in the name has to do with Mbits/second data transfer speeds, hence 3.0Mbits/second NOT Bluetooth 3.0 HS.
As a 2.1 device it is excellent and merits 5 stars. But shame on Cirago for some dirty tricks.
To understand the significance of this new 3.0 protocol from the older 2.1 a brief breakdown is in order.
History 101:
Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum, which chops up the data being sent and transmits chunks of it on up to 79 bands (1 MHz each) in the range 2402-2480 MHz. This range is in the 2.4 GHz short-range radio frequency band.
Originally Gaussian frequency-shift keying (GFSK) modulation was the only modulation scheme available; subsequently, since the introduction of Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, /4-DQPSK and 8DPSK modulation may also be used between compatible devices. Devices functioning with GFSK are said to be operating in basic rate (BR) mode where a gross data rate of 1 Mbit/s is possible. The term enhanced data rate (EDR) is used to describe /4-DPSK and 8DPSK schemes, each giving 2 and 3 Mbit/s respectively. The combination of these (BR and EDR) modes in Bluetooth radio technology is classified as a "BR/EDR radio".
Bluetooth is a packet-based protocol with a master-slave structure. One master may communicate with up to 7 slaves in a piconet; all devices share the master's clock. Packet exchange is based on the basic clock, defined by the master, which ticks at 312.5 µs intervals. Two clock ticks make up a slot of 625 µs; two slots make up a slot pair of 1250 µs. In the simple case of single-slot packets the master transmits in even slots and receives in odd slots; the slave, conversely, receives in even slots and transmits in odd slots. Packets may be 1, 3 or 5 slots long but in all cases the master transmit will begin in even slots and the slave transmit in odd slots.
Bluetooth v3.0 + HS
Version 3.0 + HS of the Bluetooth Core Specification was adopted by the Bluetooth SIG on April 21, 2009. It supports theoretical data transfer speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s, though not over the Bluetooth link itself. Instead, the Bluetooth link is used for negotiation and establishment, and the high data rate traffic is carried over a colocated 802.11 link. Its main new feature is AMP (Alternate MAC/PHY), the addition of 802.11 as a high speed transport. Two technologies had been anticipated for AMP: 802.11 and UWB, but UWB is missing from the specification.
Applications
With the availability of Bluetooth version 3.0 HS, you can expect to move large data files of videos, music and photos between your own devices and the trusted devices of others, without the need for cables and wires. Some applications you will experience include:
-Wirelessly bulk synchronize music libraries between PC and music player or phone
-Bulk download photos to a printer or PC
-Send video files from camera or phone to computer or television
Technical Specifications
This new specification release includes several major enhancements:
-Generic Alternate MAC/PHY (AMP)
-802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL)
-Generic Test Methodology
-Enhanced Power Control
-Unicast Connectionless Data
It will take 6 months to a year before devices start shipping with the new B/T 3.0 HS and even longer before us consumers replace our older 2.0 and 2.1 B/T devices.

BLUETOOTH 1.2/2.0 USB 2.0 100M Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This card does not, and I will repeat, DOES NOT, work as a common customer would expect it to. It will NOT run with any built in bluetooth software (i.e. Windows Bluetooth functionality) Instead it utilizes a BlueSolei software package that does not offer the same functionality as a name brand bluetooth card (which supports the in house software). This is a textbook case of cheap, quick manufactured technology pawned off on unsuspecting customers that believe they are getting a bargain. Notice how there is no company name behind this product (i.e. Linksys, Belkin, MSI, etc) Do yourself a favor- pay the extra amount for a quality product that offers support for their customers. You will have more success with drivers for multiple versions of the operating system you will use and also have access to fully functioning software. Do not buy this product, Do some research. Do not be fooled by a bargain priced item.

ASUS USB-BT21 - USB Bluetooth 2.0 Adapter - EDR (3Mbps) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good, cheap way for me to add bluetooth to my computers. The size of the dongle is great for my laptop since I don't need to remove it when I stick the laptop in the case. There is a driver disk that came in the package but with Win 7 ultra 64-bit it had me download and install drivers which is just fine since it works well with any bluetooth device I have used with it (keyboard, mouse, headset, cell phone!). I liked the first one enough that I just ordered a second one for my desktop which also used Win 7 ultra 64 bit.

Bluetooth CLASS2 Mini Adapter Plug-n-play 10 Range Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this adapter after looking at the fantastic reviews. The adapter does not work effectively with Windows XP. After following the half-baked instructions in the manual, I downloaded the so called drivers for USB50BT for windows XP. Turns out the drivers was actually a software called 'Bluesoleil'. Automatically the software registered itself as an evaluation copy which means it switches off itself after 5-10 minutes till you restart the software again to listen to the music or buy the full version of the software. The adapter does seem to work fine with the software and I could listen to the music on my Motorola S9-HD from my PC without any interruption but then when I checked how much the software costs to buy, it shows around 20 EUR which is crap. I think the merchant should notify the customers about the purchase of the software if they buy this doongle.
I am returning the product.Bluetooth CLASS2 Mini Adapter Plug-n-play 10 Range

Wireless USB 2.4GHz Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle Adapter for PC Laptop Notebook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Read the title. Waste of time and 6$. It keeps telling me I dont have a serial number. Leads me to believe this peice of hardware has been pirated somehow. The version shipped with it is 1.47... The newest is 6.54 something. Attempting to upgrade via in-app help menu, led me to a website that does not exist. It was almost spelled right but not quite. Then the website that wants my 20$ has all kinds of typos. This product is real bad. I have one. If you drive by, maybe you can get it as I throw it out the window. If you expect to get anything other than garbage for pennies, you are as big of fool as I was. Do not buy this product.

Plantronics Bluetooth USB Adapter BUA-100 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the BUA-100 to work with my Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset. My company recently deployed Cisco IP Softphones. After doing a little research, I found that by combining the voyager 510 headset with this bluetooth dongle, I could use the call control button on the headset to answer and end calls just like a cell phone.
I read several reviews here from people that had tried to use regular bluetooth dongles to pair with their headsets, but none of them seemed completely happy with the result. I decided not to chance it and bought the BUA-100 even though it is somewhat pricey compared to other bluetooth adapters.
It does not work with Bluetooth devices other than plantronics headsets, so you are not getting a multi use bluetooth adapter in this, more like just a dongle to connect your headset to your pc.
The button on the dongle allows you to easily pair it with your headset. Just put your headset into pairing mode then push the button on the dongle. They will be paired in a second or two.
For range, it behaves as standard bluetooth. When I walk away from my pc, I can get about 15 feel or so before I hear a little static, which gets progressively worse the farther you go.
All in all I am very happy with the combination of this and the voyager 510 headset and would recommend it to others.

Kensington K33902US Bluetooth USB Micro Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The unit works well with any devices that I personally have paired it with ie. cell phones, headsets, stereo headsets, and another computer.
However, when the radio is on when you turn the computer on, there are 2 processes TOSOBEX.EX and SERVICES.EXE that will take up most if not all your CPU cycle. This slows down the computer very much. This happens even when there are no devices paired with the unit.
I have installed the unit on 2 other machines with the same results. So, somehow the Toshiba Stack that comes with this unit takes up CPU cycles when the bluetooth radio is turned on. This happens on my laptop and 2 desktops.
Once those services are on, there is no way to turn it off except to reboot the machine. However, PRIOR to rebooting the machine, TURN the bluetooth radio off first. That way when the computer is rebooted, those services will not be on.
The one workaround that I did was to RENAME the TOSOBEX.EXE file to something else like BAD_TOSOBEX.EXE_BAD. That way it won't get invoked when you turn the bluetooth radio on. That means that you WILL NOT have OBEX capability.
Kensington Techincal Support so far has been USELESS. But, I'm still trying to get to people there who actually know what they are talking about.
Also, on the cosmetic side, the unit has VERY SHARP corners. Be careful when you are handling your laptop (if you are using it on a laptop); I have been scratched multiple times by its corners.

Belkin Mini Bluetooth Laptop Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a little tough to properly install in Windows 7 to get all services working.
My first attempt was to let Windows 7 install the drivers. I ended up with one unknown hardware item that I could not find a driver for. My second attempt was to use the software that came with the module, which is for Vista and XP, and again could not get everything to work. I even tried running the installer in Vista compatibilty mode and it crashed.
Prior to using the procedure below I uninstalled the Bluetooth software and the bluetooth driver packages (somehow I ended up with 3) from Control Panel and I was then able to fully install using the procedure below.
This unit uses a Broadcom chip and Widcomm software. The method I used to install in Windows 7 is as follows.
1. Download Broadcom's Widcomm software utiltiy from [...].
2. Plug in the micro bluetooth module into the usb port you wish to use.
3. Windows will begin to install drivers.
4. Click on the balloon pop-up to open the Installing Drivers window.
5. At the bottom of this window, click Do Not Check Windows Update option.
6. Launch the Broadcom Widcomm software that you downloaded in step 1. This utility will verify your module, download the proper drivers and software, and install. No unknown hardware and I can connect and transfer files both ways from multipe devices.
Finally!

(More customer reviews)It is recognized as soon as you install it. The software in the box is a trial. I think it works for 30 days or with a limit on file transfer speeds. I'd end up uninstalling it. You can also use it with Microsoft Bluetooth support but it works intermittently. Mostly of the times gets disconnected. You can also pay like $20-$30 for a registered Bluetooth Software but I prefer to buy the Brand name Bluetooth with original software if that's the case. There's no good free managing software for Bluetooth. Due to the limitations, it is unplugged at my desk all the time.

Bluetooth USB 2.0 Micro Adapter Dongle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mini 2.0 USB Blue Tooth dongle has potential but the bundled software ruins it. I paid about 5-6 bucks (including shipping) for it - the reseller had it to me in record time. At this price point, really, there was not much for me to lose and my expectations were not that high.
The dongle ships in a plastic pack with a mini CDROM. The mini CDROM has software (Bluesoleil 2.6.0.8) that enables Blue Tooth features that go beyond the basic Windows XP Blue Tooth capabilities, including A2DP (stereo music).
The dongle is tiny. I have an Acer Aspire One netbook and the dongle barely juts out from the side of the netbook - a clear improvement over my Targus Blue Tooth USB dongle, which is 1 1/2 inches long. This improvement, however, was the only improvement to be found.
When using this USB dongle in a Windows XP environment, you really have two choices:
1) Plug it in and let XP detect and install a generic Blue Tooth driver for the device
2) Install the Bluesoleil software
If you go with the XP drivers, you are going to be able to use a decent and stable set of features, such as a reliable Blue Tooth mouse connection.
If you go with the Bluesoleil software, it opens up the functionality of the device and provides additional features that the XP drivers don't support, such as stereo music.
The problem is, the Bluesoleil software is not good. The user interface is ugly and non-intuitive. You'll just have to install it to see for yourself. Additionally, the software is, by design, crippled. Per the help menu, patches and upgrades will cost you. You can purchase a full version that, among other things, removes the data transfer speed-cap so that you can listen to MP3s without hiccups.
Setting aside the fairly annoying and yet not deal-breaking aspects of the software is the fact that the software doesn't play well with the audio drivers of my Acer Aspire One netbook. If I try to open an audio gateway to my Motorola BT stereo headphones, the Aspire RealTek soundchip drivers crash and crash again. And that is if I can even get the software to agree to create an audio gateway; it doesn't seem to be able to do so reliably.
I searched for information regarding the Bluesoleil software and the majority of the search results returned ways to work around the issues and many results even outlined how to reconfigure competitive software packages to work with the dongle in order to circumnavigate the Bluesoleil software altogether. I tried every trick that was described. I found some success in working with different software hacks but the time I spent was not well spent.
Back to my old Targus BT dongle, it was about 25 bucks. I installed the included software (WIDCOMM) and it just works. Five minutes of fiddling and it all works. It's silver and pokes way out and is pretty lame looking, but it gives me no grief.
In the end, I guess if your time is worth nothing than the cheapo BT dongle is for you. However, if you want the BT dongle to just work out of the box with no issues for every application that you expect it to work for, do some research and pay for what you expect to receive.
I have to caveat that this dongle and the included software may be just fine for you. For me however, it did not meet my requirements which are: BT mouse, BT stereo headphones and BT cellphone connections. All at once. Without any issues. The Targus dongle does this and I guess I'll just live with its unfortunate form factor.

IOGEAR USB 2.1 Bluetooth Micro Adapter GBU421 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)*** My comments (below) are from January 2009. One of the more recent comments (April 2010) states that my issues are no longer valid. Just a heads up that things change/improve over time. ***
The product works (eventually) and is low priced and is tiny. But, before you install it, please consider the following. Customer care by Iogear is horrendous.
The first hurdle is bad instructions. Step 1 for Vista says you MUST insert the device. Then step 8 says DO NOT insert the device. 8 is correct, by the way.
Still, the included ver. 5 drivers do not work with Vista. When you contact the vendor for help, they'll tell you where the ver. 6 drivers reside. They're marked 221 thru 321 so you think they don't work with the 421, but they do. Oh, you need the revised instructions, too. By the way, the included disc says nothing about the software version. You have to watch for it after launching setup.
So, get ver. 6 drivers or later, get the latest instructions, and don't plug in until the drivers are fully installed in Vista.
I asked if the drivers were necessary since Vista wants to provide its own, and tech support said yes, you need to install them.
I tried tech support's live chat. They pointed me to newer instructions that said to wait before connecting, but they said nothing about the ver. 5 drivers and Vista incompatibility. After wasting 2 hours installing and uninstalling, I emailed to tech support. I wrote at midnight and when I got up bright and early, I had a URL for the proper drivers and instructions. The final installation was flawless and the device works fine.
