Bluetooth Adapters: CSR Vs Broadcom Chips

Does anyone have any insight into which Bluetooth chipset is the best? I'm looking to connect wireless headphones to my Windows 10 PC and it seems USB adapters/dongles are either CSR based (CSR8510) or the Broadcom based (BCM20702).

I've been using an Orico BTA-403 (CSR) for a few year without issue, but am wondering if I should give Broadcom a go.

  • Why change if you don't have issues?

    • I need to get a second one and noticed that the later Orico adapter (BTA-408) uses a Broadcom chip. I thought this was because CSR no longer exists and perhaps Broadcom were supporting new devices better. However, the most recent Orico adapter (BTA-409) switched back to CSR - the same CSR chip model used in my old adapter. I wanted to put it out there for comments.

      These true wireless headphones are gaining a lot in popularity.

  • CSR is Qualcomm.
