There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought this because I thought TPLink was a good brand, but with every set of headphones I tried, unless I was in 2-way communication mode (i.e. much lower sound quality) the sound stuttered constantly. I couldn't listen to music unless it was in mono, low quality mode - and I tried everything to fix it. I moved the dongle to right on top of my desk, 2-3 feet from where I sit, with nothing blocking. I moved it further away, wondering if the signal was 'overwhelming' my headphones (Bose Quiet Comforts). I updated drivers, I uninstalled, reinstalled, tried it on a different machine - nothing.
Finally, I went and got a $5 dongle from a chinese knockoff - works great, haven't had any issues.

Pair devices… simple and easy
The intel 7260 built in wifi/bluetooth adapter in my laptop has always been unreliable with modern Bluetooth “LE” devices. I unpaired everything, uninstalled the intel Bluetooth device in Control Panel / device manager and am now using this one.
MUCH faster mouse and keyboard response, no dropped characters while typing, no devices going off line, basically everything now works properly as expected.
Reviewed in Brazil on September 17, 2023
It works as advertised.
