Bluetooth USB Adapter

Unfortunately I can find no active newsgroup more appropriate to post this question.

I bought a relative a stereo bluetooth headset (Jabra BT8010 for the curious) and want her to be able to listen to whatever (music, radio stream).

The desktop is a bit older and lacks bluetooth wireless so I want a USB adaptor. Desktop owner lives in a two-story house, the computer is on the

2nd floor in a loft-type corner midpoint to the house's square-footage.

I would like a good power output and range so that user can walk around the house anyway without any signal cutout (but then I suppose the headset would also need similar range and power requirements?).

I also want to avoid---despite the customary 1-year warranty (whoever buys a product that has poor reputation no matter how long the warranty?)---- buying a product where the reviews are not certain that it is a good or bad make...so much poorly tested crap out there.

Got any recommendations?
