Currently no expiry date on this deal, but expect it to end after Christmas, matching Creative website.
BT-W5 adds aptX Adaptive ability to your phone and brings out the best quality from your music or streaming service (Spotify users won't get an improvement due to source limitation), a must have for any Samsung phone user with a nice set of headphones that supports aptX Adaptive.

Also, do upgrade the firmware on your computer first via the Creative app, the dongle I got from Creative directly needed the firmware upgrade right out of the box, my B&W ear buds was crackling and popping on aptX Adaptive HQ, but gone after the upgrade.
I've got a work laptop I can't install anything onto.
I can upgrade the firmware using my personal PC, will this still work on the laptop anyone know? (I e. Without anything installed on that machine.)
I'm assuming/hoping it will - given it worries on consoles - hoping someone can confirm.
TIA.
