Creative announces launch of the BT-W2, a high-performance USB Bluetooth audio transceiver for PC, Mac, and PS4
Creative’s new BT-W2 is a tiny Bluetooth audio transceiver that plugs into the USB port of your PC, Mac or PS4, allowing your device to use its Bluetooth streaming capabilities instead. This helps get you past the long delays you get from streaming audio using just the standard Bluetooth implementation on your PC.
The BT-W2 has apt-X Low Latency (apt-X LL) support which has a dedicated channel for voice communication, so you can get clear voice chats wirelessly without sacrificing the quality of audio playback from your PS4 or computer when paired with receiving devices that support apt-X LL, like Creative’s Sound Blaster X7 and the Sound Blaster E5.
The Creative BT-W2 High Performance USB Bluetooth Audio Transceiver will be available from 6 July 2015 at the online store at sg.store.creative.com at S$49.
Technical Specifications of the Creative BT-W2 High Performance USB Bluetooth Audio are as follows:
- Operating Frequency: 2402 ~ 2480MHz

- A2DP (Wireless Stereo Bluetooth)
