    Average Rating: out of 5 stars

    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - As It Should Be
    The IO Bluetooth adapter works just as it should, Easy. Easy to install. Easy to use. And most importantly: Microsoft 7 compatible. Thank you IO.


    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very high quality
    Very impressed with the product quality and timeframe in which I received product. Overall, would definitely buy again from supplier.


    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Windows 7!!!
    Read several reviews & ordered it to install on new HP Pavilion w/windows 7 to pair w/bluetooth headphones! Quick & easy to install, didn't even need to enter codes as I'd read about. (not really a code, just misc numbers from what I read). I installed the mini-disk, plugged in the adapter when prompted & like magic, it connected. Once installation completed, go to control panel & add device with fully charged headphones in paring mode. I'm listening to it right now. Distance says 300'. Not that I got tape measure out but I went downstairs w/no problems in our 1800 sq ft house. (computer centrally located in house) I'd say go for it!


    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazon verified review of Bluetooth Adapter
    This device is an excellent solution to adding Bluetooth to you computer. It installs quickly and easily and does the job. I would recommend it highly for this purpose.


    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works well for desktops, a little big for laptop use.
    If you're looking for a cheep yet effective bluetooth adapter this is probably the product for you. There are smaller adapters out there that will be better for use on a laptop because they wont get snagged but for a desktop there is no reason to spend the extra cost. I was able to use this adapter in a medium sized apartment without loosing connectivity anywhere. Although I never tested the limits I will say that I had no problems with the signal travailing 20 feet through 2 interior walls which should be better than needed for 99% of all applications. You will not find much better than this (and probably worse) with the smaller adapters. This adapter is not too tall for standard usb port spacing but may be too wide for standard usb port spacing if you have a flash drive along side it which is another reason this adapter is best suited for desktops.
