HP bt500 - Network adapter - USB - Bluetooth 2.0 EDR Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Hp Bluetooth
Comment: This product is for HP Printers.... If you connect it to an HP PRINTER!!! it works amazingly. Yes the box talks about other devices but it is made to connect these devices to the printer not make these other devices wireless. So used in the appropriate context this adapter works perfectly.

Comment: Well I got this product to use with my headsets on my computer and with my Sprint Mogul. Unfortunately this product failed miserably. Installing it was a pain, getting it to do what it is supposed to do was impossible. It offers bluetooth, absolutely-but it fails to provide the appropriate bluetooth services I needed.

I did find another bluetooth device that DOES work. I get actual bluetooth stereo via my Motorola S9 and can watch movies on my computer while listening to bluetooth audio in stereo. It's great! That product is the IOGEAR USB Adapter with bluetooth Wireless Technology 2.0 Spec Class 1 (plus right now it's cheaper than THIS device). The IOGEAR is not only Bluetooth 2.0 but it has a max range of 330 feet (vs. 30 feet for most Bluetooth). I can actually take my S9 and listen to my iTunes in the backyard! Plus it set up easier with my S9 for stereo sound. I am still testing THAT device for quirks as no bluetooth adapter has proven itself foolproof, but the IOGEAR is much better than this HP adapter.
