  • Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX for clearer wireless audio

  • Up to 20 m range for flexible placement
  • Fingernail-size micro adapter stays plugged in
  • 24-bit CRC and AFH keep the link stable

What the Orico BTA USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter adds

This micro adapter plugs into a USB port and gives any desktop or laptop Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. It uses a CSR8510 controller to handle both transmitter and receiver roles, so you can stream audio to headphones or speakers and connect mice, keyboards, phones or tablets. The 24-bit CRC and adaptive frequency hopping keep the link stable up to 100 metres in peer-to-peer mode.

Installation is plug-and-play on Windows

Insert the fingernail-sized dongle and the operating system loads the driver automatically; no extra software is required for basic pairing. The CSR Harmony application is available if you want direct Bluetooth access from Microsoft Office or other programs. Because the adapter stays almost flush with the port, it will not snag on cables or block adjacent sockets.

Check your system before ordering

Verify that your computer runs a Windows version with native Bluetooth 4.0 support so the plug-and-play behaviour works as described. If you need the aptX codec for higher-quality audio streaming, confirm that your headphones or speakers also support aptX over Bluetooth 4.0. The adapter does not add Bluetooth capability to devices that lack USB ports or to operating systems outside the Windows family.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the CSR8510 chipset is active after plugging the adapter into my Windows PC?

Open Device Manager and verify the adapter appears under Bluetooth Radios as a CSR8510 device; pairing a headset and playing audio through A2DP will confirm the transmitter and receiver are functioning.

What comes in the package and is any extra cable or driver disc required?

The box contains only the fingernail-sized USB micro adapter; no separate cable, antenna or driver disc is needed because Windows provides native plug-and-play support for the CSR8510 controller.

Should I choose this Bluetooth 4.0 model or a different version for aptX audio streaming?

This adapter supports aptX via its CSR8510 chipset and Bluetooth 4.0 specification, so it is the correct version for lossless AAC and aptX streaming to headphones or speakers.
