There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Installation was as easy as putting in the enclosed CD in the DVD drive, and following directions. Windows 7 installed the adapter without a hitch, but the Bluetooth adapter didn't appear operational initially in my Ssystem Manager. It said 'unavailable' but paired with devices. Very strange to me.
The blue light (on the USB Bluetooth adapter) was on and I decided to attempt a pairing with the PC and an iPad via Bluetooth. I was sitting about 3' from the adapter, but it took the PC about 30 seconds to pair the two devices. Surprisingly long I thought, considering their close proximity. Next I tried pairing the headphones with the PC, which worked a bit faster, but still took longer than expected.
I will be updating the CD driver to the most current one in 'Support' on the Kinivo site in the near future, which may take care of the sluggish pairing issue. Admittedly the issue may also involve other PC hardware (the PC is 2 years old) and not be solely the Kinivo adapter.
Overall I like this adpapter. It's easy to install and it works. Time will tell if it's a solid performer, but for now it pairs and works with my Mom's iPad with her PC, her Kinivo Bluetooth headset for Internet calls, and her cellphone so she can upload photos she's taken with her phone to her PC.
That's what I wanted it to do, and she's thrilled. So for those who aren't overly picky about speed (me), having a blue light on the device (I like it...) or need it for a Windows 8 PC (I know Kinivo says it works, but read a few reviews and decide for yourself...), you should be happy with this purchase.
UPDATE: 1/24/13
Purchased a second one to install on my Windows 7 PC. Easily and quickly installed on my Windows 7 64-bit desktop with a Core i7 processor and 8GB of memory using a 2.0 USB hub connection. No pairing issues! After a restart it paired immediately with my iPad, allowing me to share my iTunes library easily over my home network.
I also had it connect with a Windows 8 laptop: HP 2000-2b24NR 15.6" Notebook PC and it did so without a hitch. It works with Windows 8, just as promised.
