Excellent. I'm normally too busy to write reviews but I'm super happy with my current audio setup thanks to the W5.This is the second time Creative made a product for an uncommon setup that I really needed to get the ideal configuration with the hardware. The last one was an audio dock/converter that allowed you to receive full surround sound via optical/coaxial cable with your 5.1/7.1 computer speaker system, brilliant. This dongle allows you to use Bluetooth with your Windows PC. Sounds dumb on the surface, like who's using a modern pc without Bluetooth? Wrong, I do enjoy using Windows over the years but the Bluetooth support is kind of awful and just barely there in terms of functionality, even basic stuff is buried deep in the old Control Panel instead of Settings. Anyway this product allowed me to get proper Bluetooth support that doesn't disconnect every so often or act weird because I accidentally tried to use the microphone (Windows just can't seem to do audio in and out at the same time at reasonable quality, despite Bluetooth supporting the standards for decades and getting better every few years).It's kind of jank sometimes but that could be the specific Bose Ultra Open ears I use. I use these while I'm at work because for my job I need to be able to hear if people need me. I've tried other open earphones and of course transparency mode on popular wireless earbuds and none of them work as well for my job or sound as good as these do. And sound good they do thanks to the W5 supporting multiple codecs and having several options. I mentioned some jank but I found the perfect solution I've been using for 4 days so far with zero issues or features not working. I plug the dongle in and immediately turn on my Bose ultras (by taking them out of the case) and they work 100% of the time. Before I tried leaving the dongle plugged in and would get issues connecting half the time. Not a problem anymore.They sound just as good connected to the pc or phone. The options can make the earbuds sound even better. I usually avoid audio presets but I tried the gaming preset and it sounds very good. Makes it sound more full, which is great for an open ear earbud. I work in a college, so imagine tons of wifi signals coming from the access points as well as students and signal strength is great.

Please note that the BT-W5 does not come with a USB-A adapter, so it is not compatible with the PS4 out of the box. Such a shame - was really looking forward to wireless headset gaming on the PS4.

I do have to download its creative app on my Mac for it to sound a lot better then the BTD-600, otherwise they are the same to my ear. The app allows for selecting the 24bit/196kHz and this makes my momentum 4 sounds better then listening to it using usb-c! Unlike the B&W Px8, I believe momentum 4 is not optimized for usb-c listening, although you can hear more through usb-c connection, it gots sharp and harsh on certain sound. Paring my momentum 4 with the creative BT-W5 and its app, my momentum 4 sounds a lot better then its usb-c connection, not as musical as the Px8 via usb-c, but it is close in terms of sonic performance!

What I like: it beats the pants off Windows stack bluetooth audio with the ability to actually choose your sample rate and bit rate. I can actually play BT audio at 24bit/96000hz! Also, I really like that once paired in Windows, it'll stay connected to any other device its plugged into, such as working when booting to Linux. Normally bluetooth devices paired in Windows or Linux cannot be used with one another. Another thing is the built in crystalizer and the equalizer, two things that I no longer need a separate app for.What I don't like: lack of AAC. Plus I've yet been able to find a way to switch the codec manually in the app. AptX HD is pretty good, tho, and standard Windows BT doesn't offer AptX HD (but it does use AAC). Also my Crusher ANC when using Bass Boost in app actually makes the bass quieter.But yeah, this dongle is really good.

I use a bluetooth headset with mic on pc for conference calls. It never sounded great for both myself or the person I was talking too. I picked up the creative bluetooth adapter, it's a game changer. Audio both ways is crystal clear now, i mean, it's honestly amazing how much better the sound is now. I read it ways works on gaming consoles so I might try that next.

Funciona con s22 ultra sin necesidad de conectarlo a una pc o a una mac. Se nota mucho la diferencia en la calidad de audio. Sin problemas de estabilidad.

Cumple con su función, transmite aptX Adaptive correctamente y de manera estable, el único pero que le pongo, y la razón del por qué las 4 estrellas y no 5, es que el pairing mode podría ser mejorado a nivel indicaciones.
