Love this thing... - Brief Summary: I've used this for the past couple weeks with an old IMac (mid-2009) and OS X El Capitan v. 10.11.4 and so far it has worked flawlessly. Backstory: Several months ago, I purchased a refurbished iMac and a macbook air in order to use Scrivener and Ulysses for a writing project. I bought a bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse for the macbook and fell in love with it -- it's solidly built and I love the gestures. The macbook air has bluetooth built into the laptop, but the iMac is old enough to lack it. I wanted to upgrade the iMac to use a wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse and, after reading through a couple hours of reviews, decided to give the Kinivo a whirl. I'm embarrassed to even use the word "installation" for this thing -- all you do is plug it in to an unused USB port and, at least with OS X, Bob's your uncle. It just works. There's a little LED light thingie on the side that let's you know that it's powered up and ready to do its thing. Pairing the iMac with the Apple Wireless Keyboard with Apple Magic Bluetooth Mouse (Certified Refurbished) was easy -- click on the little apple icon in the upper left hand corner of the top level menu bar, then System Preferences... Bluetooth... and a dialog box pops up that lets you see what devices it has discovered. I picked the keyboard, then the mouse, and that was that. They both just worked. Have there been any issues so far? Not really. It took me a bit to figure out that when the iMac was sleeping, I could click on the power button on the side of the keyboard and then hit the "fn" button to wake it up. The keyboard works almost immediately. I've discovered that it can take a few seconds for the mouse to be discovered, so I have to be a bit patient with it from time to time. I've also discovered that if I turn the mouse off and forget to turn it back on before starting or waking the system up, I'm without a mouse. No fears, however... if I turn the mouse on, jiggle it a bit, and sit back and wait for a moment, a dialog box generally comes up and informs me that it's looking for a mouse. When it locates it, it generally takes a few seconds for the mouse to pair up. Then I'm good for the rest of the session. I've also tried this with a cheap pair of BT headphones -- I'm kind of regretting the purchase, but the cans work OK I suppose. As a musician and wannabee cheapo audiophile, the cheap BT headphones sound horrible for music, but they're usable if all I'm doing is listening to anime on crunchyroll or watching a news reel on CNN. Anyway, the point of this is that this little BT dongle thingie has worked great so far. I didn't have to install any software -- on OS X 10 it just works and it's worked pretty much flawlessly once I figured out its minor idiosyncrasies. Would I buy another one? Absolutely. Being able to add bluetooth functionality to an old iMac for $12 is a killer deal. Would I recommend this to someone else? Absolutely and without hesitation. If you need BT and you have an open USB port, you're golden. Review: Bluetooth 3.0 adapter used with bluetooth 3.0 headset - I got this adapter to use with my bluetooth headset at work (I have a Plantronics M70 headset). I also got one for my coworker who uses another brand. I would say this works well. Definitely follow the instructions for installation! (I didn't and my coworker did. Hers worked, and I had to redo mine. Oops). A couple of notes: This supports bluetooth 3.0 or LOWER, so if your device uses anything higher than 3.0, get a different adapter. Both of our devices are 3.0 and this works well. Both of our headsets are capable of "multipoint" connections (can be connected to 2 devices at the same time), which is great if you have it connected to your cell phone and this. However we've found that things get a bit wonky when connected to 2 devices. Sound doesn't come through simultaneously. For example, if I'm listening to music off my phone, but then my computer makes a noise (such as an email notification), the headset "flips a switch" and my music cuts out so it can play the sound from the computer, and then I have to press the play button to go back to my music. This happens to my coworker, too. I'm sure this is more to do with the "multipoint" functionality of our headsets, so it's just a word of caution if that's what you're getting this adapter to do. We've found it's just easier to have our device linked to only one item at a time. As an adapter, it works very well. Range seems to be dependent on your bluetooth device more than this adapter (my headset is about 30-feet, which is pretty standard). Overall we're both pretty happy with this adapter, especially for the price! ## Features - Allows you to use your existing headphones and any of your models. - you just plug in and enjoy pure high fidelity sound quality. - It contains a decoder chip so you don't have to worry about system upgrades. - Whether you are giving it to yourself or as a gift to your family and friends, this is a good choice! - We provide 6 months product quality assurance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005Z5HT2M | | Brand | Kinivo | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Keyboard, Laptop, Printer | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 3,049 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Bluetooth, USB | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00609465955933 | | Hardware Interface | Bluetooth, USB | | Item Weight | 0.09 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Kinivo | | Mfr Part Number | BTD-300 | | Model Number | BTD-300 | | UPC | 609465955933 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kinivo - **Hardware Interface:** Bluetooth, USB - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Desktop, Keyboard, Printer - **Data Link Protocol:** Bluetooth, USB - **Item Weight:** 0.09 Pounds - **UPC:** 609465955933 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00609465955933 - **Manufacturer:** Kinivo ## Images ![CAESGE Headphone Jack Adapter Dongle for Phone 8/X/XS MAX/XR/8Plus/7/7 Plus Plus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510303kaELS.jpg) ![CAESGE Headphone Jack Adapter Dongle for Phone 8/X/XS MAX/XR/8Plus/7/7 Plus Plus - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lvJY-z3ZS.jpg) ![CAESGE Headphone Jack Adapter Dongle for Phone 8/X/XS MAX/XR/8Plus/7/7 Plus Plus - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PAovVUD1L.jpg) ![CAESGE Headphone Jack Adapter Dongle for Phone 8/X/XS MAX/XR/8Plus/7/7 Plus Plus - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nudfMheuL.jpg) ![CAESGE Headphone Jack Adapter Dongle for Phone 8/X/XS MAX/XR/8Plus/7/7 Plus Plus - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KdbnsmF2S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works flawlessly with an old iMac + OS X El Capitan!

Overall we're both pretty happy with this adapter, especially for the price! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, installed on both Mac and Windows 8 with small hassle *by M***B on November 23, 2012* I purchased this to replace an AZIO bluetooth dongle that had a loose cap and bluetooth was dropping out unexpectedly. The package for the BTD-300 includes 2 mini-CD's containing drivers for XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Since I have recently upgraded to Windows 8, I was a little frustrated initially since inserting the dongle into my PC laptop did not result in the correct driver being installed. I had to go to the Kinivo website to find and download the appropriate Windows 8 driver. After doing so, the USB bluetooth dongle worked perfectly and I was able to pair with my bluetooth speaker easily. Out of curiosity I also installed the dongle on my mid-2012 MacBook Pro, just to see what would happen. I already have bluetooth by default in my MBP but by turning bluetooth off first, then plugging in the dongle then turning bluetooth back on from the menubar, I was able to connect to previously paired devices as well as add a new device. So it worked well and did not require any driver installation whatsoever. The BTD-300 seems to go into power-saving mode when not in use since the blue LED light that is on during periods of activity will go off completely when there is no bluetooth device connected. The dongle is tiny. It does not stick out very far from the USB port and it does not prevent using any immediately adjacent USB ports either due to being wide... it isn't wide and is barely wider than the USB port itself. Since it is so small, I just leave it plugged in 99% of the time. So far it seems to provide reliable bluetooth connectivity. I've not had any issues other than the Windows 8 driver installation not happening automatically. You can't really beat the price and the 2-year warranty is reassuring, This is a great and inexpensive solution for adding bluetooth capability to a laptop that does not already have bluetooth or may have a broken or otherwise inoperative bluetooth capability. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/436274-caesge-headphone-jack-adapter-dongle-for-phone-8-x-xs](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/436274-caesge-headphone-jack-adapter-dongle-for-phone-8-x-xs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
