Bluetooth is everywhere these days, from your arrogant idiot in the car next to you to the kid one the sidewalk listening to tunes on his phone. Now you can take your Bluetooth home by using a USB dongle on your PC to broadcast music to other rooms in your house wirelessly. The Koutech UB120 Bluetooth to USB 2.0 Dongle is one such device to save your wife from yelling at you for cables being strewn across the house, or maybe that is just me but deep down I like to think other husbands are as clueless as me. Let’s check out the Koutech UB120 Bluetooth to USB 2.0 Dongle in more detail:

Closer Look:

The packaging for the Koutech UB120 Bluetooth to USB 2.0 Dongle is nice and simple it shows you what you are getting right off the bat and also has all the specs and features you need to know to make an informed decision on your purchase.

 

 

Included with the Koutech UB120 Bluetooth to USB 2.0 Dongle is the drivers and software you will need to get started as well as the manual.

 

 

Without seeing it next to a penny for scale it is hard to tell exactly how tiny this Bluetooth dongle is. It is pretty amazing how tiny technology is getting; soon we will have to trade in our cumbersome fingers for some cybernetic implants just to use our electronic devices.

Testing:

For testing I used the Yidsun SPK-800 Bluetooth Speaker and tried to see how far away I could go before the speaker stopped working. Impressively enough the Speaker stayed connected for 45 feet with broken line of site. This is more then ample for the majority of house holds that want to broadcast music to other rooms on the same floor. I also tested the Koutech UB120 Bluetooth to USB 2.0 Dongle with the Genius Bleutook Headset I got about 50 feet away with broken line of sight before any noticeable issues. This is very impressive because these headphones were never intended to be that far away from the blue tooth device. I must say I am impressed with the distance this little fella can connect from. Let's see the final thoughts:


Conclusion: 

Over all the Koutech UB120 Bluetooth to USB 2.0 Dongle did much better than I ever would have guessed something so tiny would do. There are some draw backs to it being so small it is definitely easier to lose the thing. Over all it performed very well and the install was very easy.

Would I recommend this product? Yeas if you are looking for a Bluetooth dongle capable of broadcasting and pretty impressive distances this could be a great choice for you.

 

Pros:

  • Great Distance
  • Simple Install
  •  Blue LED's are a Nice Touch
Cons:
  • Could be Easy to Lose for Some
