[USB Audio Bluetooth Adapters]
These are specifically engineered for better audio quality, but they’re for audio only. They cannot be used to connect Bluetooth mouse, keyboard or controllers. If you’re only looking to connect Bluetooth Headphones or Speakers, these are the ones you want.
They’re very simple to use, no need to install any driver/software onto your PC.
They often come with the ability of connecting two headphones to PC at the same time, and they often are aptX Low Latency compatible.

[Full USB Bluetooth Adapters]
By their name, they’re basically an external Bluetooth drive for your PC. These most likely only work with Windows, and they’ll almost always require some sort of driver/software installation.
These can be used for Data transmission (i.e. mobile device), and they CAN be used to connect Bluetooth keyboards, mouse and gaming controllers.
They can still be used to connect audio devices… but the audio quality likely won’t be as good as that of audio adapter.

  5. @hobonickel840 on December 31, 2024 at 6:07 pm

    Can these be connected to any device?

  6. @cheesycoke on December 31, 2024 at 6:07 pm

    Great video! I have a full-style Bluetooth adapter already that works with controllers, audio, etc. But I want to make use of the benefits from an audio BT adapter. (namely aptX LL)
    Will I be able to run both adapters simultaneously on a desktop PC? Will it cause any kind of interference?

  7. @TheWhyGuyChannel on December 31, 2024 at 6:08 pm

    Since I’m an old man, my hearing isn’t what it used to be. I watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc., while blaring the sound throughout my house. I’m too far away from my computer and tv to use headphones and besides I don’t like them anyway. My computer system doesn’t have built in Bluetooth, however, I use a dongle for my keyboard and mouse. I’m thinking… how about a Bluetooth speaker sitting next to me, but from what I read, not just any dongle will work. Also, I haven’t found a wireless speaker that comes with its own dongle like my keyboard did so if I buy an off the shelf dongle and an off the shelf speaker…. I might be throwing some of my social security away. Any suggestions?

    I want to connect my laptop to my car to make beats on my laptop. Which one should I use?

  9. @Mchmny on December 31, 2024 at 6:15 pm

    Witch one for Arduino boards

  10. @cortjezter on December 31, 2024 at 6:17 pm

    0:51 Why show these old Sony headphones? The xm3 may have been the last to support any aptX, where neither of Sony’s most recent two models do, and none of your adapters support AAC/LDAC. SBC quality is hardly desirable as a fallback option. 😒

  16. @FUUUUU1111 on December 31, 2024 at 6:24 pm

    "Full External Bluetooth Drive"? What kind of bullocks it that? Doesn’t make sense. Those are regular usb bluetooth adapters.

  36. @gphilipc2031 on December 31, 2024 at 6:40 pm

    I fid BT drivers to be VERY difficult or impossible to load on my Windows 10 computer. The one I have is a BT 4.0 that works poorly for range and cuts out and stutters.

  37. @TRapJumpin52 on December 31, 2024 at 6:43 pm

    is there one for a car, usb to bluetooth for phone or is it the 1st one?

  39. @pedrocalazans7873 on December 31, 2024 at 6:46 pm

    "And which adapter should I use on the PC to listen to audio through the headset connected to the controller?"

  40. @Obunny7 on December 31, 2024 at 6:46 pm

    Is there a specific bluetooth adapter you could recommend for a wii remote? I have the tp-link bluetooth 4.0 and it isn’t really picking up much of anything

  41. @cherryidiotic on December 31, 2024 at 6:47 pm

    I had a tp-link Bluetooth adapter version 4. The connection process was agonizing for my devices, and the range was terrible. Even when I just have a small table in the way, the connection gets worse.

  42. @eaglemovieclips4472 on December 31, 2024 at 6:48 pm

    Does it work on windows 11 .. please tell me

  43. @leocullen4355 on December 31, 2024 at 6:50 pm
