Bluetooth on Desktop

[Donut417]

So I got the LG Tones and Id like to use them with my computer. Ive been using them with my laptop and I like them. While I do got some Hyper X Clouds, Its hotter than satan's ball sack most days right now and I like the fact they let me head and ears breath. I was wondering if any one could recommend a blue tooth adapter. My friend recommended a USB one, Ive checked them out and most of them are from what Id consider to be bull shit brands. Does brand matter? I dont want to sink a lot of money in to this. 

 

Strike the part about the Hyper X Cloulds. Seems the cord failed.

For the most part any of the USB Bluetooth 4.0 adapters will work fine. If it has a Qualcomm CSR8510 in it then regardless of the actual manufacturer of the product it will work. For example this one:  http://a.co/1QxtxFI

 

Alternatively you can always go for a wifi+bluetooth pcie card.  I personally own this one http://a.co/5fHDlLz (Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I) and both the bluetooth and wifi work great on it, however it will be a little more expensive.

Any cheap ~$10-15 bluetooth dongle should do what you want, I'd just make sure it's at least 4.0.

 

Also as per others some wifi cards integrate bluetooth radios as well (such as my Crosshair VI) but you'll pay a lot more.

Not wanting to sink a bunch of money usually results in lower quality purchases.

The Intel cost ~25€ with BT and Wifi.

7265.NGWG.W - INTEL Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 2x2 AC + BT M.2 16€ exkl Tax for me as an Dealer.
Mean ~20€ Retail.

That's a laptop card and won't natively fit in most desktops.

Might be willing so sink a bit more. I fine with up to $30. Any more then I should just buy a new wired headset to replace mine that died.
