How to connect wireless headphones to a computer?

How to connect wireless headphones to a computer is a pretty common question these days. For a long time, any new laptop has been equipped with a bluetooth communication module. Today, people try to always be in touch with family using Skype or other services. It’s immediately clear that moving around the room in headphones without wires is much more convenient than always getting confused in the elements of the device. Often, gamers also use such headphones. And any watching a movie or series will not make you sit at the computer all the time. But is it possible to use a device that was originally made for mobile technology on your personal computer? Of course. It is enough for a computer to have a bluetooth wireless module. Let's talk today about setting it up.

Differences

The devices we are talking about can be classified by the type of connection to the device:

• IR port Such headphones should not have “barriers” for signal propagation. Used at a distance of up to 10 meters.
• Due to radio waves. Such headphones are connected through a certain frequency range, well kept at a distance. Most likely, other waves will interfere with listening.
• Bluetooth Some compromise between the first and second case. The radius of the work is also 10 meters, but the transmission quality will depend only on the manufacturer.

Important! It is best to use the latter type of device to connect wireless headphones to a computer, for a number of understandable reasons: quality, radius, ease of use.

Preparation for work

We have already mentioned that any laptop has an adapter. The same cannot be said about stationary personal computers. Regular PC users will have to get the device first.

If the device you already have in stock, we proceed to connect and configure bluetooth. Adapters come in two different types:

• External Connect to the USB input.
• Internal Such adapters are connected only to the PCI slot.

Important! Only you can choose from them, but connecting the first is much faster.

Important! Fans of computer games have repeatedly thought about buying a joystick. For those who do not understand how to connect this device to a computer, we have prepared a separate material. See our article for more information. "How to connect a joystick to a PC?".

The computer must have installed drivers that allow the adapter to work correctly. Driver verification takes place in the device manager of the computer. You can get there like this:

1. Press win + R to open the window.
2. In it write devmgmt.msc. Confirm your actions by pressing the “OK” key.
3. Find the line “Network adapters” or “Bluetooth radio modules” in the window that opens. Go to this thread.
4. If you do not see the radio modules, open the network adapters. Find “Bluetooth Devices” here.

Important! If there are no devices, but there is some undefined equipment, you can install drivers.

If you coped with installing the software, you can tackle our main question: “How to connect wireless headphones to a PC?”.

PC connection

You need to do the following:

1. Hold the power button on the headset until it blinks.
2. Right-click on the bluetooth icon, which is located in the lower right corner of the screen.
3. Add a new device.
4. Wait a little. Select your device model from the list.
5. Enter your PIN. You can see it on the box with the device, operating instructions. If there are none at hand, you can try to enter the standard combinations: “0000”, “1111”, “1234”.

That's all. Connecting to the phone does not take longer.

Still not sure how to set up bluetooth headphones on your computer? The problem may lie in the incorrect installation of drivers.

Important! Does the computer slow down and its performance decreased? Check your device for viruses. To help you review"Utilities to clean your computer from viruses".

Driver installation

The necessary drivers can be installed using the boot disk that comes with the device. There is nothing complicated in such an installation - just follow the instructions of the software installation wizard.

Important! If the disk is not at hand, you can use the Internet. We drive the model of wireless headphones into the search bar and download the driver from the manufacturer’s website. Further installation is no different from the previous one.

Important! Contamination with various unnecessary programs and files negatively affects the speed of the laptop. Follow the link and find out in our separate post"How to speed up the laptop yourself?".

Smartphone Connection

In this case, you should follow the same instructions to connect wireless headphones:

1. Make your phone visible to other devices in bluetooth settings.
2. Activate the search mode on the headset, as we did in the previous method.
3. Wait until the screen smartphone your device model will not appear.
4. Enter the code above if you need one.
5. You can use the accessory.

Important! Remember that such headsets can only work with one device at a time.

We connect headphones to the TV

Modern TVs are also not deprived of wireless adapters. There is nothing new in the connection: we activate bluetooth on devices, “connect”.

A built-in adapter is not always needed, because there is a different connection method.

Need a bluetooth audio transmitter with the following ports:

• 3.5 mm
• A tulip.
• Optical Digital Audio Connector.

Important! The best quality is achieved using a 3.5 mm jack.

There is one drawback: in the device market it will be difficult to find a quality device, so be prepared to spend time. After connecting the transmitter to the network, we should carry out the search and connection procedure already familiar to us.

Important! Power outages and power surges adversely affect your computer. In addition, expensive components may fail. You can save equipment by purchasingUPS for computer.
