It can also communicate for as far as 800 feet, 4 times as far as the version mentioned above.

What are the best USB Bluetooth adapters?

If you’re looking for the best USB Bluetooth adapter for your audio devices, Avantree DG60 fills the spot perfectly. Actually, the adapter works only for audio, so unfortunately you won’t be able to use it for your mouse or keyboard but it will deliver lag-free sound for any of your Bluetooth headphones or speakers. DG60 will act as a discrete soundcard so you will connect directly to it, not to your computer. That’s why you won’t see a Bluetooth icon on your taskbar. This adapter is great for your PC but it can be even greater for your gaming console, allowing it to deliver simultaneous chat and BGM. It’s also perfect if you live in a big house. Just plug in the adapter to a laptop or PC on the ground floor and roam around the house even on the first floor and still listen to music uninterrupted. EVEO Bluetooth Adapter is universal.

As for streaming music, it works very well with some Bluetooth stereo headphones but you should know that you are limited to a 33 feet range and that is in a straight line, without any obstacles.
