Customer Review Summary
Customers love the Edimax BT-8500 Bluetooth Adapter for its plug-and-play compatibility with various operating systems, including Windows and Linux Ubuntu. It allows users to connect a range of devices like headphones, Xbox controllers, and speakers without needing to install drivers. Despite its size, users find the range and signal strength impressive, even through walls in a household setting. The relatively low cost was widely appreciated. Some users experienced minor trouble with connection stability, but the overall consensus is the adapter is a reliable and easy-to-use solution for adding bluetooth functionality to your computer.
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.
Manually update the drivers first!
The first time I plugged it in the mouse worked fine but the keyboard was constantly disconnecting, a few hours of troubleshooting I found the drivers out the box was the issue and had to visit the manufacturer page to get the latest drivers.
Excellent
Works well for my pc connected to my UE Boom. Range is pretty decent for my living room and managed to reach into my bedroom (~10m through 2 walls). Great product would recommend
Perfect for my pc and headphones
Does the trick, very easy to set up, i now have bluetooth capabilities on my pc!
Works out-of-the-box under Linux
No issues with Ubuntu 22.04. Connection to headphones dropped once, but otherwise the connection works within a reasonable distance.
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.
Does what it says on the tin
Simple little dongle, does the job. I've had to restart the PC once or twice to get connection to my sony headphones, but other than that works well.
good value
works smoothly, no issues yet
Works great with PS5 controller on windows 10
No drivers or anything required to install. Just simply plug in and pair PS5 controller!
Not good for Xbox controller
Unfortunately my Bluetooth Xbox controller would occasionally disconnect.
Returned and bought a PCI-E DLINK Bluetooth/wifi card instead. The DLINK seems to use good Intel wifi/bluetooth chips.
Works great
Easy setup, Bluetooth 5.0 confirmed.
