Bluetooth Device 4.0 Adapter

I bought Waves NX Head Tracker to use it with Logic Pro X in a Mac Pro Mid 2010 OS El Capitan and Bluetooth 2.1 I needed Bluetooth 4.0, so I bought this StarTech adapter. Plugged into my computer, but it was not recognized as BT 4.0. Then I downloaded Hardware_IO_Tools_for_Xcode_7.3.dmg, and installed Bluetooth Explorer in the Applications folder. Opened it, Tools menu and choose HCI Controller Selector, I clicked at the arrows and selected Broadcom Corp and clicked Activate. Done My computer recognized the StarTech adapter as Bluetooth 4, and I was able to use my excellent Waves NX Head Tracker.

This was a two birds with one stone proposition for me. I now have much better Wifi signal than previous adapter which was only 802.11bgn, and much better Bluetooth experience than with previous 4.0 adapter. If you have speaker disconnect issues after installing, go to Device Manager and find your Bluetooth device that has a Power Management setting under Properties. Uncheck the box that allows the computer to turn off the device to save power. The antenna could be heavier or have embedded magnets but it works very well and the cord is long enough. I feel that my purchase was well worth the cost and functional improvement.

I purchased the Bluetooth adapter to transfer pictures and music from my computer (which did not have one) to my cell phone. The device was simple to install and is easy to use. I was new to the technology so I had some difficulty using it at first, but B & H chat line support came to the rescue and everything is now working great.

Mini USB Bluetooth® 4.0 Adapter is a fantastic product! Better working range than other Bluetooth receivers/transmitters. Works great with Sony MDR-10R after checking ALL of the configuration for USBBT1EDR4. You MUST install ONLY the last version of the CSR Harmony software; if you have an older version installed, you MUST uninstall the older version first. The new version unfortunately does not include drivers for all of the older transmitters and you can't have more than one version installed at the same time. I highly recommend this product.

I could connect this device to my television via bluetooth and the reciever can now do karaoke.

Using this to connect device to speaker when Bluetooth is tricky.

I use this cable to chrge my bluetooth device, works great.

i purchased this device strictly for the speed of the device and for the most part the unit hits the advertised speed. unfortunately, the difference between my old pci-e 4.0 m.2 (5000 mb/s) drive and this new pci-e 4.0 m.2 (6900 mb/s) drive was not enough to physically feel much difference. i was worried about heat so i installed an external heatsink on the device prior to installation. the heatsink keeps the device at or below 60c so i am please with the temps. the device does have a heat spreader built into the label but since i used an external heatsink i do not know how effective the heat spreader is at controlling the temperature. overall if you want bragging rights this drive is for you.

You may want to consider a Bluetooth adapter for your headphones rather than this. They are harder to loose and more convenient.

Bluetooth connects very easily and also comes with wire to manually connect to your listening device.
