For a desktop setup (Win7-64) without Bluetooth, does anyone have any recommendations for an adapter? There seem to be plenty of sub-$20 ones.

I would suggest this Kinivo that you plug into a USB port on your PC. Kinivo Btd-400 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter for Windows 8/Windows 7/Vista

Sans Bluetooth if you're planning to connect directly with a cord, these speakers come with a long cord that's silver/black and rather attractive for a modern office environment.

You can still plug it into your computer's audio port the old fashioned way. Plus you can transmit to it from your phone or other Bluetooth friendly device. It's not a very portable setup in the first place, the satellite speakers are still tethered to the sub.

It works great with Windows 7, I use that same setup with two computers and the Bluetooth receiver, no issues.

although my pc is bluetooth enabled i still would need a to have a bluetooth adapter for pc and then search for device. its a small usb device that will pick up the signal

Most likely you will need a Bluetooth transmitter USB dongle like the UD2 since most Windows 7 computers are not Bluetooth-enabled.

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

I am having no issues using Windows 8.1 Pro's default Bluetooth driver. I pair with speakers and headphones that do not use a code. Works well. Never bothered with any other drivers. This info may not help you in any other version of Windows. I can't attest.

I couldn't get them to work with either of my 64-bit desktops (Windows and Ubuntu). They were recognized as bluetooth adapters but I couldn't get them to connect with any of my bluetooth devices.

just saw this, sorry. it might work. buy it and try it. if it fails to satisfy, return it. but they do make usb Bluetooth adapters. try looking for those.

You don't need to use Linksys drivers. It just uses the generic Windows stack and works fine, at least for what I use it for. Just plug it in and Windows will automatically load the generic drivers. It's the same for most bluetooth adapters these days. I have 3, none have their own specific drivers.

No, just look for the general bluetooth drivers for your computer and it'll work fine.

It doesn't require any drivers, or at least any that you personally have to install or download. It connects via Bluetooth and you just need to have Windows search for Bluetooth devices. It was a piece of cake.

I have a 5 year old pc without bluetooth, so I bought the adapter seperatley.

So this is compatible with laptops that have integrated bluetooth without the need of the little usb adapter included?

Amazon sells a number of PC Bluetooth adapters. One example can be found be searching for "Version V4.0 USB Bluetooth Dongle Wireless Adapter EDR for Pc Windows 7 Vista Xp". This link on Amazon might work unless they strip out URLs on their own site: Version V4.0 USB Bluetooth Dongle Wireless Adapter EDR for Pc Windows 7 Vista Xp

I used it with a Bluetooth mouse on win7 and it's perfect. No setup - plug and play.

It doesn't require any drivers, or at least none that you personally have to install or download or worry about. It connects via Bluetooth. So, you just need to have Windows search for Bluetooth devices, and, Voila!, there you go.
