8Ware Mini USB Bluetooth Adapter Version 4.0

The 8ware USB Bluetooth version 4.0 Adapter allows users to connect up to three Bluetooth devices together and transfer even the largest files quickly and easily. With the mini size adapter's lower power consumption; you can enjoy longer battery life on your notebook computer and other devices. This Bluetooth Class 2 adapter is compatible with PC computers, and offers a wireless range of 20 meter. It is great for a wide range of applications and smaller form factor devices in the healthcare, fitness, security and home entertainment industries.


What is Bluetooth 4.0?

Bluetooth 4.0 is exactly what the name would have you believe: its the next version of the same old Bluetooth technology we all know and love. Phones that have Bluetooth 4.0 are often referred to as Bluetooth Smart Ready while the accessories or peripherals taking advantage of this technology are dubbed Bluetooth Smart.

Dont worry, a Bluetooth 4.0 Ready phone will still be fully backwards compatible with your Bluetooth 3.0 accessories and peripherals so you wont have to throw out that old beat up headset just yet. Of course, using accessories and peripherals that are pre-4.0 will prevent you from taking advantage of Bluetooth 4.0s new features.


Does it make a difference?

Speaking of new features, what exactly are they? Well, the main one is the lower power consumption between two Bluetooth 4.0 devices. I think this is something worth getting excited about as Im sure a lot of you have found that when you use your Bluetooth (or just leave it connected) youre battery life starts to tank.

To avoid this, Bluetooth 4.0 devices wont be constantly communicating with one another when theyre paired. Instead, the devices will stay in standby until actual information needs to be sent over from one device to another. For example, imagine a Bluetooth 4.0 heart rate monitor. The only time the device would communicate with your phone is if/when your heart rate reaches a certain level. For all other times, the device remains in standby using little to no battery.

As a result, you get much better battery life. Such low power consumption means that devices like the heart rate monitor from the example can work from 6 months to even a couple of years on a single tiny batterys charge. The use of small batteries can reduce the overall size of the device and, as you can imagine, will make wearing things like a heart rate monitor or whatever accessory manufacturers come up with in the future much more practical.

Works but horrible connectivity, even with my body in between the receiver and headphones it cuts out drastically which is odd considering the potential range it should achieve... perhaps its just a bad one but still saddening

Bought ORICO adapter from wellington store because sales rep recommended it. I tried it for 10 minutes and it just wasn't a great product. I returned it and bought the 8ware model and it worked out of the box with my ue boom 2 and ds4 connected to my pc at the same time with low latency. Highly recommend!

Works with Linux Ubuntu 16.04.
For Linux compatibility it is ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode). Usual Linux configuration difficulties requiring configuration files to be manually edited.

The worst thing ever. It refuses to connect to anything and the 'website' is absolute crap. No support at all from the manufacturer, don't bother with this product!
