Everything You Need to Know About Bluetooth Adapters
When buying a Bluetooth adapter, it is essential to consider several questions. Therefore, in this section, we aim to answer the main questions about this type of device.
So that you can understand what Bluetooth adapters are, how they work, and what their pros and cons are.
What Exactly Are Bluetooth Adapters?
Bluetooth adapters are small electronic devices that connect to a USB port and allow the connection of devices via Bluetooth wireless technology.
Through this communication protocol, the wireless transmission of information between devices that are within a short distance from each other, usually less than ten meters, is possible.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Bluetooth Adapters?
Without a doubt, the main advantage of Bluetooth adapters lies in the possibility of being able to connect devices without cables. Also, they are straightforward to install, and their price is quite low.
On the other hand, since their dimensions are so small, they can be easily lost. Also, connections via Bluetooth may be affected by interference.
Advantages
- They allow you to connect electronic devices without using cables
- They are very simple to install
- For the most part, they’re plug and play, so plug them in, and they’re ready to go right away
- Their price is decidedly low, and many do not even reach 10 euros
- They are light and small in size, so they go entirely unnoticed
- They allow you to connect more than one device at the same time
- You can connect devices that are in different rooms
Disadvantages
- Given their small size, they can be lost with relative ease
- Connections via Bluetooth may be affected by interference
How Does a Bluetooth Adapter Work?
Communication between two or more devices via Bluetooth is done via radiofrequency. First of all, once Bluetooth is activated, the device detects within its range the other devices on which it is enabled.
The next step is to connect the devices. Finally, once connected, they will be able to share information.
How to Choose the Bluetooth Adapter
Now is the time to buy a Bluetooth adapter, there are several purchase criteria to consider. To help you in the selection process, we have selected what we consider fundamental. We hope they serve as a guide in your purchase to choose a device that fully meets your expectations.
Here we had shared a proper video guide on how to choose the best Bluetooth adapters.
Use of Adapter
Logically, the first thing to consider before buying a Bluetooth adapter is what you need it for. If you want to connect earphones to your computer or various console controllers, you will need different types of devices. Or, you might want to use it with your car radio.
Compatibility
Also, you need to think about whether you plan to use the adapter on a Windows, Linux, or Mac OS device. And, of course, if it is compatible with the version of the operating system you have installed.
And again, it is possible that it is plug and plays with the latest versions, but that you need to install drivers for the older versions.
Bluetooth Version
There are several versions of Bluetooth: the most recent is version 5.1 of January 2019. However, the latter version is not yet widespread. Since they are meant to be backward compatible, you don’t have to worry if two devices have different versions.
The newer the Bluetooth version, the faster the transfer speed and the better the performance it will offer. Among the various advantages of a newer version are lower energy consumption and greater reliability or protection against interference.
Class
At the moment, there are four types of Bluetooth signals or classes. Each one is tied to speed and a maximum connection distance. In this way, depending on the class to which the adapter you buy belongs, its performance will be different.
You can consult some of the characteristics of each class in the following table. It indicates, for each class, the maximum power in milliwatts (mW), in decibel-milliwatts (dBm), and the range of action expressed in meters (m). Class 4 is that of the Bluetooth 1.0 version, which has now practically disappeared.
Range of Action
As we have seen, the range of the adapter’s Bluetooth connection will essentially depend on the class to which it belongs. Usually, devices with a range of 10 meters are found.
An advantage of this type of connection is that it can be created between one room and another, even if there is a wall in the middle.
Transfer Rate
Currently, most of the Bluetooth devices you will find on the market use version 4.0 or higher. This ensures speeds of up to 32 Mb / s (megabits per second), more than enough, for example, to listen to music or connect a mouse. You will only have to worry about this criterion if you have to transfer large files.
Conclusions
The advantages of wireless connections are indisputable. In the particular case of Bluetooth, they are particularly evident if we want to connect earphones, mice, keyboards, or console controllers.
However, some older computers do not have this type of connection, so you need to resort to Bluetooth adapters. These devices are small in size, and their price is very low. Also, they are normally very easy to install and configure.
Hence their great popularity. When choosing the adapter, you must take into consideration the use you will make of it, the version of Bluetooth, and the class to which it belongs. Its latter two factors will depend on its range and its transfer speed.
