I haven't tried a bluetooth device in years, is pairing still godawful? I wish they would give you the option to pair through USB. Just plug in the host and peripheral and press the pair button, and it should automatically negotiate pairing. I don't care if it requires the hassle of occasionally having to plug something in to pair the two devices as long as it works 100% reliably.

Pairing mostly sucks with low quality adapters which have all sorts of timing issues. Some decent ones are perfectly fine.

I wonder how much of it is low quality adapters vs poor drivers. Whatever Bluetooth module they used in my £20 Chinesium car stereo connects quicker and works with less niggles than any other device I've tested in the last 20 years.
