[TriLUG] Long-range Bluetooth adapter for Linux

[Roger W. Broseus via TriLUG]

I tried one similar to this (Amazon, short, safe url):

The range is good but make sure you go for low latency. I did not know that 
before I bought and the over-the-air sound from my TV speakers reaches my ear 
before the sound from  a headphone - a bit disturbing. I can mute the TV but 
others can't hear. Noise cancellation helped. Avoid this w/ low latency.

Newegg: reputation has taken a big nose dive. I avoid them now. Read this on
