Using "Beats" Wireless headphone with a PC - which USB adapter to buy ?

Hi,


I have a pair of Beats headphones which I normally use within the Gym... but these days, as you may know, Gyms are sort of a bad place to go.... So, I'd like to use my wireless headphones with my old PC - which still manages to handle Windows 10, so I'm thinking a USB Adapter would be good. I have a USB2 Hub attached to it, so ideally something that'd simply plug into that too. Anyone done something similar ?


I guess the USB Bluetooth adapter needs to be a transmitter/receiver type ... receiver only wouldn't make sense (conceptually... unless I'm wrong these days?!). So is anyone using a USB bluetooth adapter with their PC to hook up to their Beats headphones & which make/model ?

I’d suspect you’re going to have to buy one or two, and try it.


I’ve had some other Plugable gear around and it works, but that’s also with macOS and USB-to-serial connections, and not with Microsoft Windows and Bluetooth.
