Ownership verified by DX Its small but it works

Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: -Definitely works better in terms of pairing and connectivity; compared to cheap ones.
-With Toshiba software (non-evaluation) included in CD but need only in Windows XP for A2DP profiles etc.
-Small in size.
-Able to have longer signal range before disconnected about near 10 meters

Cons: Nope. I do not face any cons yet for now.

Other Thoughts: Getting this will be much a better choice compared to cheap ones that comes with Bluesoleil software etc. You pay what you get. For a much better adapter, this may cost double but its worth it.

Bottomline: Get this especially if you are fully utilizing bluetooth hardware for your PC - bluetooth headset/audio, remote etc.

Ownership verified by DX Best BT Adapter I've tried so far

Pros: I finally found a Bluetooth adapter that does what I need it to! I wanted a small, compact adpater that I could leave plugged in all the time that would work for my stereo audio headphones as well as other Bluetooth links. After trying several others and getting frustrated with the hardware limitations, driver incompatibilites, driver licensing, or all of the above, this one just worked.
The Toshiba software that comes with it works well and is not difficult to set up. It even supports auto-detection of devices and will automatically connect and use them when they are detected.

Cons: The Toshiba software wouldn't install on my work computer, but then it is pretty "contaminated" by other services and software already.

Other Thoughts: Very affordable!

Bottomline: Best BT adapter I've used for the price!

Pros: Finally a bluetooth dongle that works!!
Super small,no need to remove from laptop when putting the computer in a bag,just be carefull.
Works with my Motorola H710 headset on Skype!!! People seem to have real problems getting skype to work with bluetooth headsets,problem solved for under 10 bucks!!

Cons: The connector that plugs in to the computer USB slot is plastic not metal,so I think pulling it in and out constantly may wear out the connector.
So just leave it in.

Other Thoughts: Comes with a good Toshiba bluetooth stack driver mini cd,if you need it,with no 30 day limit on it.
This is worth buying for alone as works much better than Bluesoli or the native window bluetooth program

Bottomline: Best dongle I have bought, VERY HAPPY with this item!!!

Pros: - Works with Windows 7 using inbuilt BT drivers (as Generic Bluetooth Radio)
- Has a better signal (eg, faster response from Nokia PC Suite) than my cheaper BT radios
- Doesn't give lots of random warnings or errors in the Windows event log as my cheaper BT radios do
- Even though more expensive than other DX units, still very cheap
- Seems to use less power than normal (doesn't warm up as much)

Cons: - Doesn't support all of my phone's services in Windows 7 (seems that no BT radios do yet), but the ones it does support install automatically and as proper devices instead of manually-installed virtual devices.
- Bright blue light might be annoying for some
- Could not see the MSI brand name anywhere on this thing, I don't believe it's an MSI item. Not a big issue.

Other Thoughts: I bought this because I had faith that it would work well with Windows $7, for <$10 it was worth the risk even if it didn't work properly or at all. But it does work very well and would recommend it to anyone with Windows 7 BT issues.

Bottomline: Worth getting if you use Windows 7 and probably Vista. If you're still on XP, one of DX's cheaper ones should do a good enough job.
