What is a good way of making my PC able to connect to bluetooth devices?

[adam247866]

I do a lot of virtual reality with my PC, and there is a great bluetooth headset that I have that works really well with it. The only issue is that my PC does not have any embedded bluetooth.

A couple of months ago, I attempted to fix this problem by purchasing a little USB bluetooth device. I purchased this device, and it works like crap. I'm not sure if I got a bad device, it didn't have bad reviews, but it didn't work for me. I had it connected to a USB 3.1 port, it was close to where I was using it with nothing blocking it, and it was horrible. I didn't have disconnection issues, but there was about one and a half seconds of lag in the audio. It's not the headphones, I use them with my phone and iPad all the time, and there are never issues.

Is there a better USB device, or something else I can do to get functioning bluetooth audio working with my PC? If you need specs of my PC or other information ask, but I don't think that should be required for this. Thanks.

You're going to want to find a low latency bluetooth transmitter. Assuming your headphones are also low latency models, this should fix your audio lag. I ran in to the same issue when setting up and testing bluetooth on an HTPC
