Equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, aptX Adaptive codec that allows users to toggle priority for audio quality, and a convenient device-switching function, Creative BT-W5 makes your Bluetooth experience enjoyable for entertainment, work, and more! When connected, the codec allows you to prioritize between a selection of dynamic bit-rate (High Quality) or dynamic latency (Low Latency) adaptation based on your needs. The selection is accessible within the Creative app. aptX Adaptive Low Latency is selected by default. The Low Latency mode effectively brings down latency to an approximate of 50 ms*, perfect for games and movies where latency requirements are a lot more demanding. *Latency measurements are obtained from Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive documents. aptX Adaptive High Quality supports exceptional audio quality even at lower bit rates. With aptX Adaptive High Quality, you can enjoy aptX HD quality scaling up to 420 kbps, great for high-resolution music. ## Features - RELIABLE HIGH-RESOLUTION 24-BIT / 96 KHZ AUDIO STREAMING - Enjoy consistent high quality audio playback for work and gaming with the latest aptX Adaptive codec - SMART CODEC WITH AUTO-ADJUSTING BITRATE - Enjoy lossless audio for your movie, music, and games.

I often am unsure which mode i'm in or whether an adjustment will persist across devices.I tend to just use it therefore for a straight connection and don't both with all the room simulation modes etc.The dongle is a USB type C port device. So if you want to use it on something with a USB-A port you'll need to buy an adapter, which for the price of this device i would expect to be included.The overall sound quality when paired with a set of buds / headphones that support AptX Adaptive is really one of the best sounding experiences i've ever had via bluetooth.I am using this with Tidal lossless service as i genuinely can hear the difference between Spotify and Tidal lossless.It does sound better, in my experience, than the Sennheiser BTD600 but not by much.Given the 2x price difference i think on balance the Sennheiser is a much better value proposition and i would expect this Creative dongle to really be similarly priced or maybe £40-45. I think the £55 price tag is definitely too much.Works great though, can be used without a PC using the button on the device to trigger pairing but updates or tweaks does need the app.Be nice to see a mobile version of the app too ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can now use my Bose QC ultras for gaming *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 December 2025* Great little device, works exactly as intended with my Bose QC ultras. Low latency whilst gaming was exactly what I needed along with decent range.Easy to set up, would reccomend to someone who wants to use better headphones and not need a wire ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well with Win 11, OK with Android S24 with caveats *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 September 2025* Works very well with my Win 11 laptop to Dali Katch G2 Bluetooth speaker. It connects automatically via the best codec for my situation, which is AptX HD. The Creative app shows the bitrate being used (24/48) and has useful EQ options to tailor the sound, which the Dali lacks. A big advantage. One can also can update firmware and other settings.I also used this via my Samsung S24. Creative make it clear that Android isn't supported. And indeed, I found the Creative app doesn't work with this device, which means none of the information or EQ options that the Windows app has are available. However......the dongle did connect to my Dali successfully and is using the AptX HD codec (as shown by the gold light illuminating on it). But the volume is controlled by the phone and other sounds can be heard unless you mute "system sounds", which means the audio is going through the Android internal mixer. That resamples audio to either 16/48 or 24/48 (never sure). Which is still fine in my case, since Samsung don't offer AptX HD or better, only AptX standard. AptX HD tops out at 24/48 so this is no worry. If your phone offers AptX HD, Adaptive or Lossless and you don't plan to use Win 11 etc., then don't bother getting this.Otherwise, I recommend and am happy with the purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Creative BT-W5 70SA018000002 Bluetooth Network Adapter, Black - TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC, Bluetooth 5.0/5.3 Dongle Receiver, Plug and Play, Nano Design, EDR & BLE, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/7 for Desktop, Laptop, PS5/PS4/Xbox Controller (UB500) - Sennheiser Consumer Audio BTD 600 Bluetooth® Dongle - USB-A/USB-C Adapter with AptX Audio Codecs for Stable, Sound - Listen to Music, Make Calls, and Watch Videos --- ## 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.es/products/533910680-bt-w5-smart-bluetooth-5-3-audio-transmitter-with-aptx](https://www.desertcart.es/products/533910680-bt-w5-smart-bluetooth-5-3-audio-transmitter-with-aptx) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
