If you’ve ever bought a pair of high-end Bluetooth headphones only to realize your phone or console can’t actually take advantage of them, Questyle’s latest gadget is aimed squarely at that problem. The company has released the QCC Dongle Pro2, a $99 plug-and-play Bluetooth transmitter that’s meant to bolt on the codec support your device is missing, whether that’s an iPhone stuck on SBC and AAC, a PC with flaky Bluetooth drivers, or a PS5 and Switch that don’t do Bluetooth audio at low latency at all.
The dongle plugs into whatever you’re using as a source and handles the Bluetooth handshake itself, giving you access to a notably wide spread of codecs: LDAC, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and the newly added LHDC and LC3 (the low-power codec behind Bluetooth LE Audio). It’s also Apple MFi certified, which Questyle is positioning as a selling point for iPhone, iPad, and Mac owners specifically, and it supports Auracast, the newer Bluetooth broadcast standard that lets one source stream to multiple headphones or speakers at once — handy if you and a friend want to share audio from the same phone without a splitter.
Under the hood, the Pro2 moves up to Bluetooth 6.1, which Questyle says brings better interference resistance, more stable connections, and tighter audio sync — the kind of thing that matters if you’re trying to use Bluetooth headphones for gaming without the audio drifting out of step with what’s on screen.
Questyle is pitching this as a device for just about anyone stuck fighting their hardware’s Bluetooth limitations, from hi-fi enthusiasts to console gamers who’d rather not deal with a cable. The QCC Dongle Pro2 is available now for $99 through Amazon and Questyle’s own site, and it’s shipping worldwide.
