Wireless technologies are gradually replacing inconvenient cable ones. Such connections have many advantages - great freedom, the ability to quickly switch between devices, several gadgets can be connected to one adapter at once. Wireless headphones can also be connected to a computer. This is a simple procedure that is well remembered the first time.
How to connect Bluetooth headphones
Modern headphone models are equipped with a radio module or a Bluetooth device. To connect them, you need to perform a number of simple steps. For outdated models or those intended for operation with built-in adapters, additional manipulations will be required.
Connection using the supplied module
To connect, use the adapter supplied in one set with the headphones. It is a box with a plug or a device equipped with a USB connector. Connect the adapter to the computer and turn on the headphones. One cup has an indicator that monitors whether a connection has occurred.
After that, the device is programmatically connected to the system. You need to go to the "Start" menu, type Bluetooth in the search bar. Links will then appear in the window, among which you can select the one you need. Completing these steps opens the "Add Device Wizard". Now you should turn on pairing - for this you need to hold down the power key on the headphones for a few seconds. A new device should appear in the device list. It is necessary to select it with the mouse button and press the inscription "Next".
After completing the installation, the "Wizard" reports that the device has been successfully added to the computer. Now you can close it.
After that, you need to go to the "Control Panel" and go to the "Devices and Printers" tab. Having found the device by name, click on its icon with the right mouse button, select "Bluetooth Operations". The computer automatically searches for services that are required to keep the headphones working properly.
When the search is over, you need to press the "Listen to music" button. Then wait for confirmation of connection. Then you can use the headphones.
How to connect headphones without a module
If you have a built-in adapter for connection, you will need to perform slightly different procedures. The device is often supplied with a driver disc. If it is absent, you can find them on the net. In manual mode, you can find drivers on the manufacturer's website. Actions for automatic search should be as follows:
- Having opened the "Device Manager", in the Bluetooth branch you should find a device marked with a yellow triangle. If it is missing, go to "Other devices" and find the unknown among them.
- Select the found line with the right mouse button, select the driver update operation in the menu that opens.
- Select the automatic search mode in the network.
When the drivers are found, the download and installation will take place. At the end of the procedure, you should restart your computer. The subsequent actions are performed in the same way as when working with a complex module.
When developing modern equipment, manufacturers try to make it as easy as possible for users to work with it. The procedure for connecting bluetooth headphones to a PC after carefully reading the instructions is not difficult.
