Since these headphones are Bluetooth 4.0, will it still pair fine with older devices that have BT 2.0 or 3.0, or do they only work w/ newer devices?

Yes, the pair that I purchased have successfully synched up with several older Bluetooth formats. They seem to be fully backward compatible.

They are strait up normal headphones. Comes with both normal 3.5mm stereo and 6.3mm stereo jacks that should work with any compatible device. So they should work with any typical audio jack that any headphones work with.

If you're asking how to pair them together that only works with the trio. As to normal operation just turn bluetooth on and pair to device. Hope this helps.

Yes you will be able to. Bluetooth profiles are backwards compatible. You just will not be able to take advantage of the features specifically for 4.0. My Samsung Note 10.1 2014 has 4.1 on it and there is absolutely no issue. Also, when I bought these headphones I purchased a bluetooth 4.0 usb dongle for my PC and that also works with no issues. When I did my research on headphones, I don't think I found a single headphone that used more than 2.1. Where the newer profiles come into play is with data transfer rates and the such. So streaming music is already efficiently taken care of with only 2.1 Yes you will be able to. Bluetooth profiles are backwards compatible.

No, it's 3.0 bluetooth technology. This device has no connection problems it works well for 3.0 it pairs with all my device s and friends to.

I did not use Bluetooth. And I do not intend to. I have several BT devices and NONE work 100% reliably, so to save the headache of trying to pair them all the time I did not even bother to pair the JAWBONE. So i used the old reliable jack instead... I know it works 100% of the time and saves me headache and time... Sorry I wasn't able to help.

Bluetooth 4.0 is more energy efficient and has a faster throughput (more data at once). But these headphones already last long enough as it is (~10 hours) and the audio quality is great for the price. As far as these headphones go, Bluetooth 4.0 is largely unnecessary. Plus, the reason it's so cheap is probably because it only has 3.0, which is a worthy compromise, in my opinion.

Not sure if this is the same, the 2.0 has Bluetooth 4.0... I think this one maybe with Bluetooth 2.1???

since this is a receiver I do not think it matters. The transmitter is the one that needs 4.0. However due to size and features I would think it would be 2.0 at its best. I have used it and did not hear any difference between this unit and my 4.0 headset with Bluetooth coming from pc audio.

Hi Katherine, I've bluetoothed all my devices to these earphones, including an iMac, a Toshiba laptop, and a Kindle Fire. Works beautifully on all.

I use it with my iPad and iPhone. Just go to settings and turn your Bluetooth on then press the big earpiece button on the headphones to connect. It works really well - I love them!!!

I was able to pair them with my iMac late 2013 model and MacBook pro 2013. It took a couple tries but I got it done. My phone was interfering bc it would automatically connect when I would turn on the headphones. Make sure you turn off the Bluetooth on your phone before pairing the headphones with anything else. That MAY solve your problem.

It will work with any bluetooth device. I use it with my touchpad all the time. As far as bluetooth 4.0 -- if it backward compatible to 2.0 I'm sure you're fine.

If you have Bluetooth coming from your p.c. then your headphones should reconize. No software to install. Worked for me. Also, make sure it is A2DP compliant or this will not pair!

My computer does not have Bluetooth. But, they always paired with my windows phone. Unfortunately, I have had three pair. All three failed me. The volume toggle fell off. And, eventually they would pair and work with my phone. But, then they would cut in on my music with "please give a command" and other phrases. So I discarded them. Keep in mind I had three pair in 5 months. Good luck

I suffer as you do. I've had the S305 for years now and have already returned a different brand/model because they were too small. Thankfully, I still get great battery life and quality from these. I never had pairing issues in the past, but since upgrading to a Note 4, I tend to lose sync when answering calls and have to repair. Wish they'd just update the electronics on these with Bluetooth 4.0 as it's so hard to order headphones and have to return them because of poor fit.
