Hi guys

I need help. I want a Bluetooth adapter for my PC that transmits in stereo. You'd think that'd be easy. You know, go on Takelot, find an adapter, buy it, plug it in, and there you go. Nope. Not so. I am on my fourth, yes, you read right, FOURTH Bluetooth adapter, and so far, no luck. I got a cheap USB adapter, and it linked right up to my headphones, but the sound was mono. I kept it because it will do TX and RX, so I can use it to connect my phone to the PC, but I want music in stereo. Next was two TP-Link USB adapters (TP-LINK Bluetooth 4.0 Nano USB Adapter and TP-Link UB5A Bluetooth 5.0 Nano USB Adapter). Neither of them would pick up either of my headphones (Volkano Race and Sony WH-CH520). Sent them both back and got a Mikuso 2-in-1 Bluetooth Audio Receiver & Transmitter. I had hope for this one because it plugs into the stereo headphone socket of the PC, and not into a USB socket. After a lot of struggling, I finally got it to connect with my Sony headphones, and lo and behold, the sound was in mono. 💥⚡🤬💩!!!

So, does anyone here have a suggestion for a Bluetooth adapter that will actually broadcast in stereo? This is seriously driving my nuts. I guess I should not be surprised, because people's appreciation of good quality music has devolved so much that many people listen to music in mono and don't even realize the difference. Unfortunately, I notice, and it drives me crazy. Hence, I turn to my fellow audiophiles and wonder if someone else has a suggestion.

Thanks,
Deon
