CREATIVE BT-W6 Wireless Bluetooth 5.4 and LE Audio Transmitter with Snapdragon Sound, aptX Lossless, Low Latency and up to 24-bit / 96 kHz audio, Works with PC/Mac/Gaming Consoles

The specific reason I purchased the BT-W6 is I wanted the ability to use a pair of Cambridge Melomania M100 earbuds with a desktop PC running Windows 11 (version 2024H2) with no in-built Bluetooth receiver. The Melomania M100 supports aptX lossless codec, which the BT-W6 supports, so it seemed like a good match of products. User reviews of similar products from other brands all seemed highlight issues with device compatibility, pairing, audio quality and straight up failure to work, so I ended up purchasing the BT-W6 because it was from a brand I was at least familiar with, and was designed to work a range of devices, rather than being a companion product intended for use with specific headphones. I shouldn't have worried, because the setup process was really very simple. The BT-W6 doesn't ship with a USB-C to USB-A adaptor, so I attached the receiver to a UGREEN type C to type A adaptor I'd bought separately, plugged it into a spare port on the PC and installed the Creative app from the website. The whole installation process took a couple of minutes and the device was detected and ready for pairing. Pairing the earbuds was equally painless, which used the standard pairing procedure - both devices had to be in pairing mode, at which point the Creative software showed the Melomania M100 as the paired device. It initially connected using SBC instead of aptX (the LED indicator on the device changes colour to indicate the codec/pairing in use), so I tried removing and plugging the receiver back in and it detected and used aptX Adaptive LL from that point forward. The sound quality and general user experience has been flawless. Music streamed via Tidal sounds excellent and there's no noticeable lag when watching movies, YouTube, or playing games. There's a slight delay of about a second when a program starts playing audio and you start hearing it (probably as a result of synchronisation/handshake process), the audio is synchronised with the display just fine once playback is underway. The maximum supported volume is considerably higher than any human could possible stand, so there are no complaints in that department either. Yes, the BT-W6 is more expensive than equivalent products from other manufacturers, but the fact it just worked first time without problems made me less concerned about the premium. If you want to add Bluetooth audio support to a PC which includes aptX codecs, this is definitely worth considering.

As I expected and working perfect with AirPods in ps5

Little bit glitchy on sync, we had problems connecting to my soundbar. The audio is very good and with Bluetooth 5.4 I get a very clean signal to my B&O H95 using aptX adaptive HQ Overall a great little BT dongle, I run this on Mac with no issue and the app works fine

This dongle is advertised to have LE Audio and LC3 codec support. I’ve purchased it basing on this information. I needed something that will ensure low latency connection between my earbuds Technics AZ-100 and my PC, so I can enjoy gaming without sync issues between audio and what is actually happening on the screen. But this dongle failed to deliver in these regards. I contacted Creative and asked why I cannot connect my earbuds that support LC3 codec with their dongle that also supports it. After troubleshooting instructed by Creative, they’ve admitted that my device is not compatible with their dongle. I only managed to eatabilish SBS connection. In this connection when you watch YouTube you experience lipsync. This was £50 disappointment. You could buy a dongle for £5 that would likely deliver the same level of latency. Not as advertised. I will have to return it.

Didn't work right out of the box, and only got lossless to work on Windows PC. Updated firmware and drivers. Downloaded the Windows app, and finally the Yellow LED appeared. The audio quality is next level. I thought LDAC was good, but this is insane. What amazing technology, that lossless audio can be transmitted by Bluetooth.

I'm using this with Creative Aurvana Ace earbuds, specifically for bluetooth LE audio and LC3 for voice chat. It's ok when it works, but it's extremely buggy. Getting it to pair can be difficult, hardly ever finds the buds and then quality can be hit and miss, needs a few restarts. When it finally works is good, but Creative need to sort the bluetooth software out.

Worth every penny. Connects to my Bose QC Ultra 2 no problem Able to switch between Aptx-Low Latency and Lossless The software is also a massive plus, able to add pre-amp to equalize the volume, and even has EQ to play with. It also remembers the settings so you don't need to open the software every time. Also I wouldn't bother with LE Audio or LC3. A lot of headphones claim they support it but doesn't have the proper implementations (mine included). I guess that's why a lot of people are returning this dongle. Don't buy it for LC3, it's a new codec and not mature

The Creative BT-W6 is one of the best aptX bluetooth adapters out there. It handles a variety of Qualcomm codecs that if paired with good headphones can produce amazing performances (make sure your device and music app is able to utilise USB dac input for best use). Smaller in size than anticipated, but very handy with a usb-c end. The only criticism is the very high price, while an excellent adapter, it does not justify this price tag and Creative Labs have taken advantage of this. (Yet probably due to a high licensing fee from Qualcomm?)

Quick connection. Like

Muy contento con la compra. Lo uso en un portátil más el Ifi zen blue 3 y mi equipo vintage Sony ha mejorado espectacularmente. Creo que es de lo mejor para pasar sonido por bluetooth sin pérdida, pero no soy experto.

Tiny but a powerful gadget to have if you like premium sound quality. I bought this together with BOSE earbuds for my husband. This is to link his Samsung Fold with BOSE and enjoy a LOSSLESS, premium sound quality. So far its good, according to my husband. It is actually cheaper if you buy directly fr Creative website (The Netherlands). Since I have Amazon Prime account, I just paid extra €5 for my peace of mind. This was also delivered the next day together the BOSE earbuds.

Ajoute l'APTX Lossless à n'importe quel smartphone et croyez moi la différence sonore est incroyable. Je l'ai associé au BTR17 et casque Hifiman Ananda Nano et le HIDIZS MP145. J'ai désormais une chaine audiophile portable. Attention à chaque association de produit Bluetooth, il faut toujours passé par l'ordinateur et le logiciel créative app

Listening to music: 5 stars. Works perfectly with my Focal Bathys and I get aptX Adaptive HQ. Either by pressing the button on it or by using the program. Using it in meetings: Works most of the time, but sometimes sound just starts to break up more and more and then fixes itself and then does it again. Powercycling the Bathys helps for a while, but the problem isn't the Bathys. That's why 4 and not 5.
