What's the best Bluetooth adapter for my PC?

I want to give my computer access to Bluetooth ever since I lost the USB for my turtle beach headset. I'm looking at Bluetooth adapters, but there's a ton of options and I don't know what to choose. I don't know if this helps but I'll put a list of my parts.
OS: Windows 11
Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad-Core Processor 3.10 GHz
RAM: 32 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

5.2 is the newest, Likely your device wont require it through.

Where do you source your info from?
BT 5.x is on 5.4 and we're on 6.2.

Sorry, my info was indeed incorrect

What company do you recommend I buy from, though?

Worth just going with Most Popular on Amazon as cheap reliable USB should just work, Have a tiny one from years ago plugged into the rear and just works including drivers etc on Win 11. Again though, Try to get a modern revision like 5.2.

Grab the PCIe version of Intel AX210, can't go wrong with that.

If the prices aren't too different, I'd go with one that has a proper set of antennae rather than just the small USB dongle. Larger/longer antennae will technically help with range/coverage, though really doesn't matter unless you're leaving the room with headphones on.
I've had the small TP-Link UB500 before and it did the job just fine, there's the UB500 Plus if you want the extra range.

I'm not sure if there's a difference.
