If my desktop pc doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity, can i buy any generic Bluetooth 2.0 adapter for the pairing? or it has to be bluetooth 4.0?

I don't think you would have a problem. But I would also recommend you ask JBL first. I would also recommend you buy a decent quality Bluetooth adapter since holding connectivity is what will allow you to enjoy this speaker the most. I currently use mine while I exercise and like listening to it at 75% volume. The louder it is played the more bass resonates. At a soft volume I am not sure you will appreciate the sound quality. I purchased the Cyber Acoustics Subwoofer Satellite System (CA-3602a) for my desktop and have totally enjoyed the sound and pod volume control. If you are trying to get double use out of the Flip as a desktop speaker and portable speaker then I would suggest placing it on the opposite side of the room so that you can turn the volume up to at least 50% while using it with your desktop.

No. This bluetooth receiver is seen as an audio device by your computer, and the chip itself handles the bluetooth connection. This feature is what ensures a reliable connection between your headset and your computer. Many generic bluetooth receivers have difficulty handling headset audio and are often subject to dropped connections or spotty audio. You cannot use this device to connect to bluetooth devices other than compatable Plantronics headsets.

Bluetooth only. If your computer doesn't have Bluetooth, then you will need to buy a USB-to Bluetooth adapter.

Not sure if this is the same, the 2.0 has Bluetooth 4.0... I think this one maybe with Bluetooth 2.1???

Great question. It all depends on your Bluetooth adapter on your desktop. It works excellent with my Note 3 but works like garbage with the $10 Bluetooth adapter I bought. So all depends on the adapter I suppose. The sound quality is amazing regardless.

I was able to successfully pair with my laptop. I think it should be good to go with anything that supports bluetooth.

if you do not have bluetooth get an adapter which can be bought for 2 dollars.

Make sure you got the right model: I ordered one with Bluetooth and was sent a cheaper version without. Your instruction manual should show the process for connecting Bluetooth. If not, you may have been cheated, like me.

It does require a PC with Bluetooth capabilities, however a Bluetooth adapter should be fairly inexpensive. Most adapters should be compatible, but I have no experience with adapters. The free is nice because it is multi-platform, but for exclusive PC gaming a wired xbox 360/one or PS3/4 controller is by far better. Free works well on PC but is doesn't feel "as good" as a full size controller. Would still recommend though....

I believe so. I got this for my desktop which did not have Bluetooth. It comes with an installation CD so you should be good.

Absolutely - this device adds Bluetooth to a PC that lacks that capability. In most cases you will need to use the included drivers disk to install the adapter. That's my only criticism...not 100% plug n play.

Asus makes one too. I have one on another laptop and it's worked out well: ASUS USB-BT21 Bluetooth Dongle Adapter

You would need the optional bluetooth adapter in order to do that, it can't do that through the network interface

Yes, even if you computer does not have Bluetooth Support you can make it work. You will need to purchase a Bluetooth Dongle, this is plugged into the headset out receptacle, this can then be paired with the receiving Blue Tooth headset.

please post a review! I'm debating on whether to get this, not sure if it's the same as a regular old bluetooth adapter (which is much cheaper) and can't seem to find any information about it.
