I bought this primarily to use with Skype on Windows Vista. The shipping took about a week to get to me, which isn't too bad.
It comes with IVT BlueSoleil version 2.7 which is outdated (the newest one is 6.2). I initially had problems getting this to work with Skype and my bluetooth headset, so I tried the newest version of BlueSoleil. This actually worked worse (kept saying my microphone wasn't configured correctly in skype), so I went back to the version included with the USB Bluetooth Adapter. The 2nd time I installed it, I got it to work without too much trouble. The program isn't entirely obvious to use if you've never dealt with bluetooth. The scanning for bluetooth devices and pairing between the adapter and your bluetooth device makes sense, but once it is recognized you should be sure to search the device for services so that you can enable the device to do whatever it is that it is supposed to do.
The BlueSoleil program does interface with skype so that you can answer and hang up your calls using your headset (if supported on the headset).
I found the range to be not good despite what other say. I can't walk much further than about 6 feet from my computer before it starts to get crackly and bad reception. This may be because my computer is in a corner and when I walk away the signal has to travel through a wall. I have not tried it in a wide open scenario so I cannot comment on that. But it definitely does not go through walls very well!
In general (and this may apply more directly to my headset [plantronics 520] than to the receiver) the sound quality is good but there is definitely some static/crackling every once in awhile. So it's not really a clean sound/connection. It's usually not enough to bother me or the other party and generally people say I sound clear using the device.
If I were to do it all again, I think I would buy a higher quality adapter so that I can be sure the crackling/static is not the fault of my bluetooth adapter. For what it's worth the crackling is also present on when connected to my cell phone so it could be my headset's fault.
I have to say bluetooth is a pretty disappointing technology and is not well implemented with current Windows Operating Systems in that it requires third party software and is not simply plug and play.
But for $5, you can't really go wrong with this product.

Purchased two of these blue tooth adapters for testing purpose, one didn't work. Emailed the HDE about exchange. HDE replied in a very timely manner stated that they would send a replacement, and did not need me to send the non-working one back. Within a week, I have received the replacement. Excellent customer service.

I was going to get a smaller more expensive unit but decided to give this one a change. This product is great! It's a little smaller than my SanDisk Cruzer (flash drive). It may be a little large for a laptop but shouldn't be an issue for a PC. Installation is crazy easy. I got it to use with my Samsung T619 cell phone. The program that comes with the device is ok. I would suggest using one from your phone's manufacture. I would buy this device again.
