Sort of a tradeoff
Use it for few months. It does work OK on Windows 10. On Linux not so much. First, producer only supports two linux distros, Ubuntu and CentOS or something like that, and for older kernel versions. There is still a chance, that it works on newer version, as it was in my case, but you have to build drivers from sources, as there are no binary packages of any sort, and rebuild them every time you update kernel packages. No DKMS support whatsoever, which would be extremely beneficial. Not something you should do in 2021.
Plug and play, no installation needed
Stuck it into USB slot and straight away our PC (Windows 10) has Bluetooth! Didn't need the manual & driver installation guide. And because it's Bluetooth 5.0, I've got multiple devices connected to it (2 headphones, 1 speaker). Also, no audio disruption even if I take my headphone to the other rooms of the house. Very happy with this purchase. Reasonable price & gets the job done.
Great and reliable
I'm using it for almost a month, it worked on Linux ubuntu 18.04 & 20.04 without installing drives.
I'm very please with it.
Great audio quality
Haven't had any problems yet.
Audio is great!
Works good and fast
only downside as since its so small nz post lost the parcel and took 3 months to arrive but thats not PBtechs fault. works great though
Simply works
Plugged it into an older laptop to connect peripherals for the kids home learning machine. Worked like a charm. No drivers needed. Solid connection and strong signal.
Good wee adapter
Nifty little device this one
Worked for 2 weeks then corrupted after Windows 10 update
Was working for 2 weeks since purchase, then unfortunately the latest Windows 10 update (mid Sep) corrupted the driver (at least as soon as I ran the update it gave me an error). Tried removing, reinstalling, restarted, the driver still has an error that no update or installation seems to resolve. Don't know whose at fault, Edimax or Microsoft.
Cheap easy and fast
Worked instantly. No setup. Go you good thing go.
Edimax bluetooth 5.0
Works well, plug and play.
functional
Works as intended to listen to the 1pm updates...
