The USB adapter generally provides reliable, low-friction PC connectivity and may improve call performance in some setups. One configuration may still require an extra USB adapter.
Pros: Battery, Charging
Cons: Value for money, Codec support
The M2 transmitter and dongle system were central to the praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling the low-latency mode useful, fast and close to wired, despite one stutter complaint.
Pros: Overall recommendation, Comfort during long use
Cons: Sound quality, Frequency response accuracy
The bundled USB-C DAC is repeatedly praised as transparent, capable, and genuinely useful, adding immediate phone and laptop compatibility.
Pros: Overall satisfaction, Bass performance
Cons: Replaceable earpads
The tiny included USB-C dongle is a welcome way to connect modern phones and laptops. Reviewers see it as a convenient starter or backup rather than an audiophile-grade source.
Pros: Design and Aesthetics, Overall recommendation
Cons: Noise isolation (passive), Connectivity options
The BTD 700 dongle is often praised as valuable or game-changing, but setup, durability, and some call/functionality issues keep it from being flawless.
Pros: Sound quality, Active noise cancellation
Cons: Premium feel, Multipoint connectivity reliability
The dock/dongle-style hardware was viewed positively in WL500 transcripts for sturdiness and flexible wireless connection.
Pros: Overall recommendation, Value for money
The Smart Tx dongle split opinion: many called it unique, practical, or game-changing for travel, while others found it niche, costly, easy to lose, or unnecessary.
Pros: Sound quality, Dongle
Cons: Premium feel, Build quality
The optional Smart TX transmitter can add wireless audio to planes, old TVs, and other non-Bluetooth sources. It is potentially useful, though its extra cost is substantial.
Pros: Overall recommendation, Active noise cancellation
Cons: Bass performance, Clamping force comfort
The base Bluetooth package’s lack of a receiver attracts criticism. Buyers wanting that connection should compare the receiver-equipped Business package.
Pros: Design and Aesthetics, Repairability
Dongle support was a minor missing feature in one review, which suggested adding a dongle in a future version.
Pros: Comfort during long use, Charging
Cons: Spatial audio, Volume output
The lack of a low-latency dongle is a drawback when compared with more flexible rivals.
Pros: Active noise cancellation, Comfort during long use
Cons: Value for money, Equalizer customization
