Bluetooth headphones are a pretty easy way to connect your laptop to a pair of headphones. All you have to do is plug the headphones into the headphone jack on your laptop, and that’s it!
The downside to this is that only a standard audio headset can plug into the headphone jack.
This means that if you had another device connected to your device such as a smartphone or tablet, then it would be out of range!
If you want more range then just buy an amplified speaker or casette tape! These can go in the stereo input on your computer or speaker.
How well this connection works depends on what device you are connecting to it. Some devices will not recognize it at all!
Hopefully this article covers some of the basics and lets you create your own connection between computer, headphones, and speakers or casette tapes.

Plug in your Bluetooth headphone adapter
When your headphones are connected, you will see a green circle appear next to your laptop. This is the Bluetooth headphone adapter working with your laptop!
Now, when you open up the Spotify app on your device, you will be able to play music through your headphones. You can change tracks, increase or decrease the volume, and move it around in the song. You can also switch between audio devices such as headphones and speakers!
This feature works for all of Spotify’s apps, not just for music only but for video too. You can watch a movie or listen to music with it connected!
If you want to turn this off, you can do that in the settings menu of the app.
Pair your headphones to your laptop
Once your headphones are connected to your device, you can start listening to music. If you’re also logging into the app on your device, you can control the music or turn on audio notifications.
If you’re also streaming audio through the app, then you can pick which song or songs you want to listen to!
How to pair Bluetooth headphones with a laptop: first, open the lid of the laptop and then click on the Connector and Device button. This will take off the gray plastic cover that covers the motherboard and processor.
Then click on Headphones and Device button again to connect them. Now that they are connected, you can start playing music or opening up a video stream!
How to pair Bluetooth headphones with a iPhone/Android/Windows Phone: same steps as above, except click on Headphones instead of Connector and Device.
Enjoy listening to music wirelessly!
Most wireless Bluetooth headphones have an audible indicator to let you know when a song is complete. This is great! You can now listen to your favorite song for hours without having to worry about charging your device!
These songs can be downloaded as either a .zip file or .mp3 file, making it easy to connect and disconnect between devices.
You do not need to charge your device while listening to music with these, as the headphones connect and dis-connect via the app.
Some laptops have internal Bluetooth capabilities
If your laptop has internal Bluetooth capabilities, you can use them! You will need to connect the headphones to the laptop through the headphones’ Bluetooth function.
To do this, click on your Windows® icon, then devices and features, and then select add device. Then, find and select the headset you wish to connect.
Once connected, you can use the headphones as a speaker or charge them via the laptop’s charging cable. You can also transfer files or interact with your computer via the headphones’ wire.
If your computer does not have internal Bluetooth capabilities, look for options that do. Some brands have created Bluetooth headsets that work in these instances.
If your laptop does not have Bluetooth, you can use a USB Bluetooth adapter
A lot of people have found that using a USB Bluetooth adapter is helpful when your laptop does not have Bluetooth.
Many modern laptops do not have Bluetooth capabilities but that is not the case for every laptop. Some older models do not have it and having the USB adapter helps connect it to a monitor and/or laptop.
If your laptop does not have Bluetooth, you can still use these via USB socket or by connecting the headphones via a wire. You will just need to make sure your headphones are of good quality as they may cause some lag when connecting and/or withdrawing audio.
Fortunately, most electronics store employees know what kind of headphones are smart and proper usage can save you from getting earbuds stuck in your head or feet stuck in cord syndrome.
Make sure that your laptop has a USB port available
If your laptop does not have a USB port, then you will need to use an aux cord to connect your headphone to the device. You can purchase a quick cable at most electronics stores that does this!
Your headphones must be able to transmit sound in order for it to work! Most earbuds are wire-type and not easily connected to a device
To make it work, the headphones must have a control app on them. The app should allow you to adjust the volume, pause/resume play, and select which song you are listening to.
Make sure that the headphones are charged before trying to connect them.
Check the capacity of your battery and time remaining before needing to be charged again
When you connect the headphones to your laptop, it may mean that your laptop has to be connected to the network as well. This is due to the fact that your laptop requires a charge to connect and function properly.
To do this, you must ensure that the headphones are USB-compatible. If they are not, then you must use acapter units in order for the headphones to connect.
In order for the headphones to function, they must be able to receive and transmit audio. If they are not receiving or transmitting enough audio, look into it because there may be an issue with the headphones.
Run diagnostics on the device to make sure that the issue is not with the hardware or software
If the headphones are not working correctly, you can run some diagnostics on the device to make sure that the issue is not with your laptop.
For instance, try pressing and holding down a button on the headphones for a few seconds or keeping your finger on the headphone attachment button on the left earphone for a few seconds to see if it changes color.
If that works, then there is an issue with your headphones and you can purchase new ones that work correctly. If not, congratulations! You have saved money and time by being aware of this problem.
