Asus USB-BT21 Mini Bluetooth Dongle

Comment:
Highly recommend this device over any other bluetooth USB dongles. I bought two different Bluetooth USB dongles overseas at ~$5 and could never get the drivers to work with them. I blame it on faulty hardware. Buy local and don't be disappointed.

I use this with my PC and my Laptop to send file to my smartphone (music, documents, etc) and pair it also with my bluetooth headset. It just works.

Comment:
picked this up to connect my Blackberry and desktop not figuring it would be of any real use, but for $7.99 its turned out to be quite a decent steal. Works well on transfer rates and connects easily and quickly.

Great little unit. Picked it up for 7.99 on sale.Works great with my cell phone. Adds bluetooth support to my pc for on the cheap. Winxp picked it right up, installed no probs.

Picked this up to do wireless transfers from phone to laptop. Have since used it for wireless headphones as well. Very small - love the way it barely sticks out compared to other dongles of its type. No connection issues so far.

I bought this because my laptop didnt have bluetooth. This adapter does the job. Has a really good range, Setup was easy. Connected in 5 mins. Good deal.

Got this on sale at $7.99 and was a great deal. It was very easy to install, Windows 7 recognized it right away and boom. I use it to pair up with Sony headphones, great for music and Skype.

I held off for the longest time from buying a bluetooth adapter, skeptical of its technology, and wondering why motherboards never seemed to have bluetooth built in. To my surprise, this little guy was perfect! I mostly use this for file transfers from my phone (particularly pictures). I run Ubuntu 10.04, and there was absolutely no set up hassle.

If you get this little guy on sale it is a steal. It beats the delays and uncertainty compared to dealing with some discount sellers in the far east. The dongle works well with my bluetooth mouse. It is so small that I can close the front panel of my Silverstone SG03 and the dongle is invisible. It still works with reduced range. 10' is still plenty for my desktop though. Highly recommended.I have not tried it with bluetooth headphones but expect it would work.

Comment:
Win7 64-bit drivers can be a pain to configure. Otherwise, it works perfectly on 32-bit Vista and Win7 systems. Reception and range and average, probably due to the small antenna size. Yet, the small size of the device has its advantages.

For $8 on sale this is a great buy for computers that don't have built in Bluetooth. Plugged it just about covers the USB port and that's it. Very low profile and no fears about accidentally hitting it breaking it =).

Comment:
It is a good product. small size and good quality. If it is a v2.1 that will be perfect.It still work fine with my bluetooth headset.

Comment:
ASUS has great products. I use this dongle to connect and my phone to transfer my files. Very small, barely visable. Installed automatically without any software requirements.. For the $7 I spent on it I'm very satisfied with the product.

i use this usb dongle to connect and transfer my files from and to my phone. it is very nice and handy. the low profile of the transmitter fits perfectly behind the front case panel.

Comment:
Love ASUS and love their Bluetooth dongle. Very small so as not to get in your way, and available in many colors. Using this to link my Android phone to my PC to sync files etc. and it performs as expected :)

I bought this bluetooth dongle to transfer data from my phone. It does the job well.I really like the tiny size of the device. It doesn't get in your way. At the same time, it feels very sturdy and well-built.I got it on sale for $8. At that price, it's a decent value.

Comment:
This is a great bluetooth adapter that automatically detects and installs in Windows 7 (and presumably Vista as well). Works just like my onboard bluetooth on my laptop.

Comment:
Great little dongle for the price. Got mine for $7.99 on sale. It works great with my ps3 headset. No drivers needed to download or install as windows 7 automatically installs the driver for you. Would highly recommend this to anyone with a bluetooth device that wants to connect a bluetooth headset or even your cell phone.

Comment:
For the price, it does a great job. The form factor is nice; I can leave it plugged-in when I put my laptop into a bag. Also it doesn't obstruct adjacent ports.If you're lacking Bluetooth and have an extra USB port, you can't go wrong.

Comment:
I just wanted to try using a bluetooth headset on computer as a cheap wireless audio solution, and it actually failed. Bluetooth 2.0's range is just way to short, noise starts to pick up as soon as the distance between the headset and the receiver goes over 1.5m. Not sure if the latest bt2.1 would be any better, but the claimed 10m range is just too optimistic.

Comment:
I bought two of these when they were on sale for $7. One is used in my EEE900 netbook with XP and the other is on my Win7 desktop. Both installed automatically without any issues. They are used mostly to sync three Nokia phones and download speeds are very good in all cases.

Put this into a "Granny Smith" computer I built. Works right out of the box and no drivers were needed. Haven't tested the range but when I tried to connect my iphone I couldn't see it from 2 feet away on the first try but on the second try it did work. Not sure if it was a range issue or just a fluke.

Comment:
This dongle has been a reliable component so far and for the $7 I spent on it I'm very happy. Asus products are generally very reliable and I have not been disappointed so far.

Comment:
Got for $0.01 so its really hard to complain about it. Just install it and you are ready to go. Not really sure how much I will use it but it is nice to have.

Comment:
Its small and it is doing his job perfectly. I'm using it to transfer stuff to my phone. And it work well, plus it dont take too much space so its also cool for that.
