USB BlueTooth adapter performance: Are they all the same?

I recently purchased a cheap USB Bluetooth adapter and entry-level Bluetooth headset so I can send & receive VOIP calls from my Windows laptop. Setup was very simple and this setup definitely works, but every time I talk to somebody they complain of extremely poor audio quality on their end (like a bad cell phone connection). Audio quality on my end is not perfect, but it is more than acceptable.

I'm thinking (although I have no way to verify this) that the signal strength from the USB adapter is poor, and could be the culprit. I say this because I get far less range with this adapter than I do with my other PC which has integrated BlueTooth (using the same BT headset).

Are all these adapters basically the same (performance-wise)? Is there an adapter or adapter/headset combo that will give me high audio quality both on my end and the caller's end? Anything that will rival the audio quality of a landline or good cell phone?

Thanks in advance for your comments!
