Creative BT-W5 USB-C Bluetooth Audio Transmitter - Black

The Creative BT-W5 USB-C Bluetooth Audio Transmitter is an external adapter that sends digital audio to wireless headphones or speakers. It transmits audio at 24-bit/96kHz resolution using a Bluetooth 5.3 connection. Its portable USB design makes it easy to move between computers and adds Bluetooth functionality to devices that lack it. The unit draws power directly from the host port, requiring no internal cables, and works with any receiver compatible with its supported protocols.

The BT-W5 connects via a standard USB-C port. It is compatible with Windows 10 (version 1903 or later), Windows 11, and macOS 10.15 or later. It also works with the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Minimum system requirements include 4 GB of RAM and an Intel i3 or AMD equivalent processor. Weighing 3 grams, the adapter is plug-and-play and does not require manual driver installation. Software tools require 4 GB of free disk space. The unit operates on the standard 2402–2480 MHz frequency band.
