Digital camera reviews of IOGear Enhanced Data Rate Bluetooth USB Adapter with Range up to 66 ft. GBU221
Digital camera Review: Good product
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this with a Plantronics Voyager 520 Bluetooth Headset to use as a microphone for online PC gaming, such as Left 4 Dead 2.
Setup is easy enough. Don't let Windows Vista install the default drivers for this. It will look like its working, but the audio tab will be missing from the headset properties and it will be impossible to make your bluetooth headset act as a sound device recognizable by your applications. So install from the CD and just follow the instructions. You'll get a new little icon in your system tray for bluetooth. Double click this to see how what devices are paired. Follow the instructions on your Bluetooth headset to enable pairing mode to register it. Mine is listed as ATT V521. Next right click that and go to properties. Then go to the services tab and uncheck Handsfree Telephony and put a check mark on Headset. Hit OK to get back to the main bluetooth window and click Bluetooth settings. Go to the audio tab and highlight your headset and click connect down at the bottom. Go into your App and test it out. It should be working at this point.
The first time I installed I didn't use the Driver CD so I was missing a few tabs including the audio tab, a quick google search helped me figure out what I had done wrong. I seems like you have to go back in here and click connect every time you shut down your PC. I don't know if there is a way to auto connect it.
Digital camera Review: Good value, works great with Vista
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this adapter after purchasing a new bluetooth smartphone. Looking at all the different adapters, I saw a lot of them had poor reviews, either due to range issues or support for Vista, or general driver support. This one had mostly positive reviews, so I gave it a try. It works fantastically. Within a minute or two, I had my phone synching with my PC through bluetooth. This is with Vista Ultimate 32-bit. No problems at all. No slowdown issues on the PC, and I'm not sure how far the range really is, but I was able to synch with my pc from two rooms away with no problems at all. I have not had any issues staying connected. Well worth the price.Digital camera Review: Great Blue tooth

I am very pleased with this item. I use the devise to connect to a bluetooth enabled printer. There are also several other options available that I've been exploring.
