USB BlueTooth adapter performance: Are they all the same?
I recently purchased a cheap USB Bluetooth adapter and entry-level Bluetooth headset so I can send & receive VOIP calls from my Windows laptop. Setup was very simple and this setup definitely works, but every time I talk to somebody they complain of extremely poor audio quality on their end (like a bad cell phone connection). Audio quality on my end is not perfect, but it is more than acceptable.
I'm thinking (although I have no way to verify this) that the signal strength from the USB adapter is poor, and could be the culprit. I say this because I get far less range with this adapter than I do with my other PC which has integrated BlueTooth (using the same BT headset).
Are all these adapters basically the same (performance-wise)? Is there an adapter or adapter/headset combo that will give me high audio quality both on my end and the caller's end? Anything that will rival the audio quality of a landline or good cell phone?
Thanks in advance for your comments!

No, not all adapters are the same. This is one of those situations where you get what you paid for. You went low cash and got low/no quality. These cheap components are made with low standard components in order to save money. You might get another setup from the same manufacturer/model/version and it might work just fine or better than your other computer. We already know it is not the headset so your transmitter/receiver module is definitely at fault. If it is within the warranty period, send it back for an exchange. It would be virtually impossible to fix and cost prohibitive.
