The strongest selling point of the ZEXMTE Long Range USB Bluetooth 5.0 adapter is its incredible range. If console support is no issue for you, and you want a low-cost, reliable Bluetooth 4.0 LE adapter for your Mac, Linux, or Raspberry Pi, the Kinivo is well worth looking into. The Kinivo BTD-400 is found online for $14, which is a great price if you’re looking for an adapter that supports this number of operating systems. You can, however, use any Bluetooth-enabled console controller with the BTD-400 if it is connected to a PC or laptop. Unlike other adapters in our selection, the Kinivo won’t work as a Bluetooth adapter to manage your wireless headset for PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch.

While you’ll find the BTD-400’s operating support fairly extensive, when it comes to consoles, things aren’t so impressive. Using Bluetooth 4.0 LE, the BTD-400 has a range of 33 feet (10m) and can reach speeds of 1MBps. The Kinivo BTD-400 supports a wide number of platforms including Windows (Vista and later), macOS (10.3.9 or later), Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora), and any Raspberry Pi running Raspbian. However, if you have more than audio in mind, it might be best to look for something else from our selection. You can pick up the Avantree DG80 online for around $30, and if you’re looking for a Bluetooth adapter to manage your audio needs, this adapter is well worth checking out. Specialized support for AptX Low Latency and FastStream work great with compatible devices to keep your audio lag-free and beyond CD quality, making the DG80 a brilliant go-to for wireless audio in the home.

To stress the point, the DG80 is an audio-only Bluetooth adapter, which means it won’t connect with anything other than headsets, soundbars, or speakers. Able to reach devices at up to 65 feet (20 meters) indoors and 100 feet (30m) via line of sight, the Avantree DG80 is a fantastic wireless solution for your audio needs. Compatible with all major consoles, along with both Windows and Mac computers, the Avantree DG80 is an audio-only Bluetooth 5.0 adapter with good coverage for headsets and speakers.
