Cons and issues

While for the most part, this device works fine but you may encounter a few issues every now and then. The software used to establish connectivity works fine in most cases but it can cause some inconvenience at times. In most cases, it works fine when it’s installed to a fresh device that never had Bluetooth devices before.

All you need to do is plug in the device and the drivers would install themselves. With older OS, you may need to make additional “purchases” to make the device work. There has been some concerns regarding the range as well, but all in all, it does get the job done.

Verdict

Given the price of the Avantree USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter and the functionality, this is definitely a good buy that can serve you well down the line.
