I got this for my PC since I had an old Bluetooth 3 dongle that needed to be replaced so I could connect some newer devices to my PC. This seemed like a reasonable BT 5.4 option!I tested it out on my Windows PC and was able to stay connected with my AirPods max over 50 feet and through walls, which was amazing considering on most of these wireless devices where it says “Up to XX feet!” I usually only get a fraction of what they advertise. The setup was easy to – it’s a plug and play device as it says…it works pretty quickly after you plug it in. One awesome thing I found was that it works with Ubuntu 24.04 by default. I plugged it in and was able to connect my AirPods Max without any issue. Your mileage may vary with Linux, but I assume if you are using Linux you know what you are doing anyway.Two complaints for this are the price and the size of it. At $15 it is a lot more expensive than other BT 5.4 receivers – in some cases over 2x the price of other options. It’s also not low profile – I realize they don’t advertise it as such, but it sticks out almost ONE FULL INCH from the USB port. I measured it and it’s a chonkster! I think for the wireless dongle combo maybe this size makes sense, but for just the Bluetooth dongle, I would expect it to be closer to the ¼ inch low profile BT 5.4 dongles you can buy. This is especially bad for Laptop users as something this long could break your laptop’s port if you end up leaning on it or you put it in your bag with the dongle facing down.Overall, it seems to be widely compatible and long-range. Even though they say it only works on Windows, I was able to get it to connect to my Ubuntu PC just fine. The only downsides are the price and the size, but if you do not care about either of those and just want something that works, go for it!

One of my computers is in our basement and had an older wifi dongle that really didn't work so great down there. It had a steady connection, but was slower than its advertised speeds, probably due to distance from our access point. Since I use it for streaming and gaming I decided it was time to try something else, but it had to be a small, external device as my PC is in an old-style desktop case and has no room for PCI-E cards.This dongle has fantastic wifi capability, picking up the signal from the access point much stronger than the old one. On top of that, it even gets a good signal using the 5 gigahertz band which means my transfer speeds are about 5x faster than with the old dongle.I've only tried using the dongle's wifi capabilities as that's what I bought it for, but I couldn't be happier. I've got a blazing fast and stable connection for very little money and practically no effort outside of plugging in the dongle.

This Bluetooth 5.4 adapter works on Windows 11 without the need for a custom driver. Plug it in a USB port and you can start pairing devices.The adapter has a Realtek chipset with Link Manager Protocol (LMP) 13. This confirms that it is indeed Bluetooth 5.4. I paired input devices and a pair of headphones. All work without problem. Keep in mind that range is more limited than an adapter with a longer antenna. When I walk out of the room, the music streaming fails (I can walk around the entire house with a Bluetooth receiver that has a decent antenna).

I got this dongle to replace a similar one that had a terrible range. Headphones would start to drop out when I was only about 3 feet away, so I picked up this hoping for some improvement. I have to admit I wasn't just pleasantly surprised, I was shocked at the performance I got from this thumbnail sized powerhouse. This is no exaggeration to say that I got easily 30 feet away with no dropouts on the headphonesAs for setup, this was plug and play. I plugged it in and was connected to a device within about a minute.Five stars on this little guy all the way.

This Bluetooth adapter was very easy to set up and use, it's just plug and play no drivers need to be installed.Signal strength and range seem to be pretty decent, it even works through walls quite well, I tested this with a pair of headphones and there was only a slight loss of sound quality when using them a couple of rooms away from the PC but nothing serious.Overall this is a very good little adapter that's not too expensive and is simple to set up and use, my only slight gripe is that it won't currently work on my Linux system, hopefully there will be some Linux drivers available for Bluetooth 5.4 devices soon.

Item title: Hakimonoe USB Bluetooth 5.4 Adapter Dongle for PC, Plug n Play for Laptop Desktop Windows 11 10 8.1, Wireless Multiple Connection Bluetooth Headphone Headset Speaker Keyboard Mouse Printer ControllerDelivered price with Prime: £12.99My comments and opinion: I recently bought the Hakimonoe USB Bluetooth 5.4 Adapter, and it works quite well for adding Bluetooth functionality to my PC. Setup was simple, and it connected to my headphones, keyboard, and mouse without issue.The range is decent, with a stable connection even at a distance. It's a good solution for those needing Bluetooth on a non-Bluetooth PC, though it’s a bit limited in compatibility with older systems. Overall, it’s a solid, convenient product at a fair price.

I ordered this to use with my laptop as for some reason the inbuilt Bluetooth will not connect to my Bluetooth speaker.I plugged in the dongle and within seconds it was up and running, I could connect my new Bluetooth speaker without any issues.The dongle itself is rather small so doesn't protrude too far from the edge of my laptop so I do not have to worry about catching it.Price wise this is currently listed at £11.72 which is slightly more expensive compared to some other same spec Bluetooth dongles available on Amazon but I can confirm this one does work rather well.Overall I am happy with my order and can recommend this dongle.

Nothing outstanding about this one its great for same room use. my head phones would cut out on the other end of my house like any of my other good working devices. The install processes was a little difficult and required like 3 restarts. but nothing horrable. The current $14.99 isn't a bad price for this one. Defiantly not a bad buy.

I've never had a wireless card for my PC, so I've never been able to connect Bluetooth devices. It finally came to a head as I wanted to connect a wireless mouse to test it over Bluetooth vs. the wireless dongle it came with. On paper, the wireless dongle should have been better, but using this I was able to show less lag over Bluetooth.So, two thumbs up from me!

I tried this out on multiple devices and never even showed up as even being discoverable or readable.

The WiFi/BT adapter worked after installing the software on the thumb drive. The built-in WiFi/BT adapter for my Lenovo laptop stopped working. This external thumb drive adapter was a simple solution. There are larger, faster adapters but this small adapter can stay in place when I put my laptop into my briefcase. Make sure any adapter you purchase is for both wifi and Bluetooth. The speed on this one seems good.

I got this Bluetooth adapter to add Bluetooth connectivity to an old desktop PC that doesn't have it built in. Setup was easy, I just plugged it into a USB port on my PC, which is running Windows 10, and it was recognised immediately without needing any drivers. The first thing I tested was pairing it with a Bluetooth headset, and the connection was solid with no noticeable lag when watching videos or just listening to music. I also connected a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, both of which worked perfectly fine without any noticeable issues.One of the best features of this newest Bluetooth version is its ability to connect multiple devices at once. I had a speaker, keyboard, and mouse all connected simultaneously without getting any interference. The range is about what I expected, which was 6 meters with a clear line of sight before signal strength starts to weaken. Walls and furniture do affect it, but that’s expected with Bluetooth connectivity in general.One thing to note is that this is NOT compatible with macOS, Linux, or game consoles, so it’s strictly for Windows PCs. I also tested it on my laptop which is running Windows 11 and it worked fine on there as well without needing any drivers installed. Although I haven't tested this, I read that Windows 7 will require downloading a driver from their website, so if you are still running Windows 7 that's something you will need to do in order to get this working on that operating system.Overall, this adapter does exactly what it claims. It’s small, discreet, and provides a stable Bluetooth connection for multiple devices. I couldn't find any negative points about it so far so it's a definite 5 star product in my opinion

I'm delighted that I ordered this Hakimonoe Bluetooth dongle. It was super easy to set up and get going and has an excellent range.My PC is Windows 10 Pro but I bought a refurbished model (from Amazon) and it's been fantastic. The only thing I've missed is having Bluetooth. I always found a Bluetooth connection on the laptop to be really convenient and with this little device I can now have it on my PC as well. Happy days!I had this plugged in, set up and working in about 60 seconds - just plug and play on Windows 10. It connected immediately to my phone and ear buds which is why I wanted it. Data transfer speeds were superb, just the same as writing directly to my hard drive. I've been listening to music via Bluetooth and there's no dropouts at all, it's very good indeed. I wandered around the house and constantly had a great connection, although I live in a bungalow so I can't comment about going up or down stairs.For the sake of honesty I have to say that I'm a little biased towards the Hakimonoe brand as I also have one of their WIFI USB dongles (also from Amazon) and it's fabulous, the best WIFI connection I've ever had. This Bluetooth dongle makes the set for me and I'm delighted with it. An easy 5 stars from me.
