I'm having trouble trying to pair my Jawbone speaker to my laptop even though I have tried repeatedly. Will buying a nerd solve this problem?

yes in order to pair with a computer you will need the nerd, it acts as an adapter between your jawbone and laptop

The Nerd is meant for the Icon. Through the Jawbone website they offer directions to pair the other Jawbone devices to the Nerd, though I have not used it personally for anything other than my Icon.

I had a regular bluetooth adapter that I used in the past in order to pair with my PC. It worked intermittently. I bought a Nerd and am now able to pair both with the ICON and my Jambox (to use as a conference-call speaker phone) without problems. Note that the Nerd is not a generic bluetooth device so you can't pair other things with it. However this has turned out to be a good thing. Now I can pair the ICON with my iPhone over bluetooth and with my laptop via Nerd - no conflicts.

I purchased this speaker and loved it for a month or two then it would no longer connect. I thought it was the USB receiver so I purchased a replacement. Still no connection :( . I researched trouble shooting to no avail. Speaker does work on Bluetooth though. ???

If your laptop does not have the Bluetooth option, then you will not be able to connect this speaker.. If it does you will definitely be able to connect because my son has a laptop and is able to connect.. Thanks Bonnie

The usb broke, replaced it- new one will not pair- rendering speaker useless as my laptop has no bluetooth and i counted on the usb pairing to the speaker for sound. very disappointed.

Unable to get it to pair with Bluetooth in my PC. Even downloaded the mini boom app.

if you got the cable that went with it, try that. or buy a recharge cable (if possible) for it and try again to pair.

Neither could I ! The USB port would not work with my laptop or MP3 player or other audio sources either. This unit has many other bugs as well. I returned mine after toying around with it for 30 days.. Sorry I couldn't really help with your problem, other than my strong recommendation to return it ASAP.....

I tried to pair both my computer and phone with the Sir Ikes at the same time. I connected the computer first, which worked. I then connected the phone. Despite the fact that the phone said it was "connected", I could only hear the music from the computer. The phone's youtube video was only playing from the phone's speaker. So, it looks like it's a "no".

I read in some reviews that some bt speakers don't work with devices that aren't essentially "portable" (even with bt adapters. Windows, for example)

If your computer has a bluetooth adapter (internal or external) you can use it. I bought a cheap dongle so my bluetooth sound experience has been poor with my laptop. It works brilliantly with my android lg optimus, though. Let me know if you have any more questions.

You have to contact tenqa and they will help you through the process if you have any trouble with pairing with devices .Make sure the headphones are turned on first and blinking and it should conect .

I've had to delete the headphones and re-pair them with my laptop several times. No issues with the phone though. I almost wonder if having both the phone and laptop paired that one will dominate over the other. Not sure, but I have to turn Bluetooth off of my phone to get the laptop to pair and connect.

First off figure out if your Desktop/laptop has bluetooth compatability. If not, you need to buy a bluetooth adapter for your laptop/desktop. Instructions will come the adapter. Sadly The sound quality is very poor when you connect it to the laptop....I'm not sure if I'm doing somthing but I wish you best of luck if u decide to purchase an adaptor. I own this headset and a Touchscreen HP Windows 8.1 Pavilion. So again I wish you best of luck.

I had this sound bar, and the blue tooth only worked, if I laid my phone directly on top of the bar. If I got the phone more than 3 feet away, it wouldn't work, and my laptop that was located with in a couple feet wouldn't pair.

I neva have a chsnce to test because the one i receive was not working. I figure any bluetooth speaker with a mic should work

Of course, u need to connect laptop-Ddj -amp speakers. If still no sound u try change the gate behind Ddj for sure u but right in-out. Hope u succesful.

I have been unable to get it working on an HP Z420 workstation with Windows 8 (not 8.1). Windows installs a driver automatically but the device stops before the Bluetooth stack looks like it ever gets loaded. Perhaps a driver would fix it, but I have yet to find one that works.
