Not the cheapest ever, but cheap enough for those who know what it does and need one.
Unlike other BT dongles, this is a cheapest that officially supports Apt-X codec for A2DP BT profile - providing best audio.

    there are plenty of cheaper generics if you don't want (officially supported) aptX.

    Sennheiser used to use KLEER, which uses lossless compression, hence better than aptX.
    These days, Apple's AirPlay is so many devices (eg. my Yamaha receiver) - provided you got WiFi, it's best overall for streaming (ALAC) losslessly from iDevice or (free) iTunes.

  no idea if the aptx codec will benefit me at all, but I bought an AZIO BTD-V201 class 1 bluetooth v2.1+EDR dongle last week and I can happily stream flac to my bluetooth speakers hafl-way across the house now.. not to mention I can wear my bluetooth headset+mike and still talk game smack while I'm off in another room. Class 1 has much better range than the majority of devices which are class 2. Think it cost me about $20 inc. postage.
