Your phone/tablet/laptop has to have bluetooth to sync with this headset. To my knowledge, all wireless devices uses bluetooth

I think the bluetooth is referring to how the nano USB receiver finds the mouse. Meanng it is wireless. There is no button I can see that would allow you to pair this with another device without the dongle. But that is a really small receiver! I even tried to see if my iPad could see the mouse with the Bluetooth on. Nope. My laptop does not have Bluetooth to test this.

I was unable to get the sony headset to work as a Bluetooth player with my bluedio headphones but it works excellent to send music from another Bluetooth device e.g. like a phone to my sony noise canceling headphones which I attach it to. It also works great as a wired player to non-Bluetooth headphones by playing music on the micro sd card. I wish it could work as a bt player to bt headphones but I think it is a receiver and not a transmitter for sounds and that is why it cannot broadcast TO bt headphones on its own but can act as a receiver of other devices transmitting over bt. Hope this helps. It is an awesome device.

It seems to pair to my phone as a standard Bluetooth, but I only use it with my Samsung. My Acer tablet will see it, but I think it only works as an earpiece or mic (half of the functions work). However, my Acer tablet does that with all my other brand Bluetooths also. Since the tablet can see it and says its paired, I would guess the headset will work with other phones that are able to pair with most headsets (unlike my tablet).

Not 100% sure but there is a USB plug-in receiver for the desktop/laptop. If your device has a USB port and or Bluetooth I think you should be okay. But..........I haven't tried it. You can call Plantronics support I am sure to get a response 855-765-7878

I have mine connected to a Cisco 9971 (CP-9971), my laptop (Jabber), and I've used it with a Samsung S3 and Samsung Note 4 via Blue tooth. Occasionally with the Cisco 9971 the headset unlinks, but within a minute it links back up. Other then that it works great. It usually last about all day (8 hour work day). The only warning I would say is make sure you keep it on the charger and its got a good connection. Sometimes I didn't put it on very well and battery was dead at he beginning of the day :(. Other then that its awesome :)

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

Yes, even if you computer does not have Bluetooth Support you can make it work. You will need to purchase a Bluetooth Dongle, this is plugged into the headset out receptacle, this can then be paired with the receiving Blue Tooth headset.

I use a lavalier microphone, plugged into my Samsung S3 cell phone, then bluetooth to my PC. I use an Asus bluetooth adapter in a USB port. Basically a wireless microphone. Tried several other ways, but none worked very well, for me.

I use a Panasonic headset that plugs into my cordless telephone. Though it isn't bluetooth, mine has a fairly long cord allows me to be hands-free to use the computer as needed while I am on conference calls.

You will NOT be able to connect this to PS4 via bluetooth. This is an innate issue with the PS4 and its support of bluetooth headsets, and not a fault of this one. The PS4 supported wireless headsets like the PS GOLD ones come with a specific adaptor which adds the wireless function and are not truly bluetooth devices. Having said that, you can still use this with PS4 a) either by plugging into the controller via 3.5 mm cordb) there are some expensive dongles which let you sync bluetooth headphones with PS4. Probably not worth the hassle and cost though.c) wait for a patch from sony :) You will NOT be able to connect this to PS4 via bluetooth.

Dear Colin P, Thanks for your inquiry. This head set could work with bluetooth enabled PC or Mac. Please feel free to contact us if you need any help. Thank you. Mpow

i haven't had any luck so far, not because of skype but because the bluetooth on my computer won't register this as a full headset (mic and headphones) it only picks it up as headphones. i think this has something to do with pairing though. apparently it has two profiles, one utilizes remote controlling from the headphones and maybe the mic too and i guess the other only supports the headphones. i guess i'm going to try to UNPAIR them and see if that works.

A lot of PCs have bluetooth, especially ones in the price range of Macs. You can also get a simple bluetooth dongle on a PC to provide that support (though it takes 1 USB slot). I think his complaint is the lack of products he wants being offered with a bluetooth connection over a USB connection and not the lack of bluetooth on his computer (since he is obviously wanting this to be bluetooth).

Yes, I've noticed this model will occasionally lose the bluetooth connection to my Galaxy S4. It happened maybe a dozen times the first week but steadily improved to once or twice a week by week 3, so I'm hoping it is just something like a break in period. Never had this experience with any other Plantronic bluetooth headset.

This makes a desk top or lap top without bluetooth able to connect to anything bluetooth. I purchased mine for a set of blue tooth stereo head phone with a mic most of my computers are wifi and xonnect via the network. I use it for music. Some creative products include a wireless uusb conmection but it isn't always bluetooth. This allows your phone anything to pair. It has software and a small button you push to pair.
