1) New Bluetooth 5.4 USB-C Adapter from Creative coming in December 2024 is Creative BT-W6 pre-order cost $50 USD. Featuring Snapdragon Sound™ Technology Stream high-resolution audio up to 24-bit 96 kHz, both Bluetooth LE Audio and Classic Bluetooth 5.4, as well as a selection of audio codecs for improved listening. Provided Codec: aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, aptX, and SBC. USB Audio Resolution Up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. Wireless Audio Resolution Up to 24-bit / 96 kHz (ULL mode) Device Compatibility PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch Operating Range Up to 50m / 165 ft. 2) Creative BT-W5 is the predecessor of the BT-W6. The BT-W5 performs the same as the BT-W6 but does not have Snapdragon and LE Audio codec features. 3) Sennheiser BTD 600. Functions well with most headphones but works best with Sennheiser Momentum 4. The BTD 600 range is 10 meters whereas Creative BT-W5 & BT-W6 range is 50 meters. USB Bluetooth Adapters for PC to work with headphones for quality audio are very few in 2024, The Sennheiser BTD 600 cost of $40, works great with Sennheiser Momentum 4. However the range of the BTD 600 is 10 meters or up to 32 feet. Creative BT-W5 provides better connectivity with other headphones that are not made by Sennheiser, The BTD 600 does work it most cases. The BT-W5 has a range "line of sight" up to 126 feet. Creative is releasing it's new BT-W6 in December 2024 for $50 as pre-orders. It offers LE audio and Snapdragon as the latest codecs. Instead of BT 5.3 it is BT 5.4. Overall functionality is the same as the BT-W5. Note: there really are so few devices or products that allows you to use LE Audio or Snapdragon as of yet, If you have Creative BT-W5 do not be in a hurry to get BT-W6 as there may be Firmware updates to fix bugs/errors. 4) I have tried Avantree C81-PC. (USB Bluetooth 5.3 adapter). It is garbage. I have Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra, Sennheiser Momentum 4, and MEE audio Matrix Cinema headphones and the Avantree C81-PC was so bad, I sent it back. My old Techkey USB BT 5.0 adapter worked 1,000 times better than Avantree C81-PC. *** All other named brands of USB Bluetooth 5.0 to 5.4 adapters say they provide High Quality Audio but do not give any type of codec therefore the best you can hope for is the typical delivery of audio as SBC. Why do you think they cost less than $20 and still only have a range of 10 to 30 feet. The key features that separate Bluetooth 5.4 from its predecessors include Periodic Advertising with Responses (PAwR), Encrypted Advertising Data, LE GATT Security Level Characteristics (SLC), and Advertising Coding Selection. When combined, PAwR and Encrypted Advertising Data enable secure and connectionless bidirectional communication with thousands of very low-power end nodes in BLE’s star topology. BT 5.3 is more Consumer User Friendly because BT 5.4 is more suited for Industrial-Corporation pertaining to IT Security. Also, Technology has not caught up with Low Energy devices. Newer is not always better. Not all USB Bluetooth Adapter versions are compatible with Apple iOS, Mac, Microsoft Windows 10 or Window 11 including various Server OS's. How they perform depends upon the Manufacturer.
