PC has no bluetooth for new bluetooth headset. Do I get a bluetooth dongle or bluetooth PCIE card?

Title. Will a dongle be too bad and terrible or should I install a proper bluetooth PCIE card?

 

I don't know if a PCIE card is for some serious wireless data transfer or if its for people who actually want a good connection to their computer on bluetooth.

I typically prefer a PCIe card, but that's mainly to avoid using a USB port as I occasionally need them for things. For audio it shouldn't matter much.

I'd personally just go for something like the ASUS PCE-AC55BT if you have a free slot and a free USB 2.0 header on your board (which you will need for Bluetooth). I've had one for the better part of a year and the only complaint I can think of is that the antenna puck isn't magnetized to stick to my case.

 

And you can't forget the added bonus of an 8260 with potential upgrade for an AX200 is there too. As it sits with the 8260 in a best-case scenario, I can pull ~75MB/s local with my Nighthawk R7000 right under my PC, and a respectable enough 30MB/s about 30-35 feet away from a fairly mediocre TP-Link Touch P5.

I second this recommendation. I've got one in my system that I use pretty much exclusively for Bluetooth audio, and it works great. I only have one antenna connected to one port as I don't know where the original is, but it still works flawlessly.
