Can you connect to a windows 8 laptop by USB or does it only work with blue tooth?

Only charges with USB but you can use the stereo headphone jack to connect both components or use the Bluetooth to be wireless.

All bluetooth things from creative have worked with windows 8 unlike my former lexmark printer which I had to replace because my main desktop and laptop are both windows 8 and not compatible. Neither did a usb Skype phone adapter. Personally I like the stability but hate the interface of windows 8.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with Windows 8. Most USB microphones act like they are external sound cards, or like headsets, where both the sound in and the sound out goes through them. They usually have their own headphone jack, and this mic is no different. All you have to do to fix this is go into the control panel while the microphone is installed, under sound and the playback tab, you change the default sound to the computer speakers. This only has to be done once and the computer remembers when you plug the mic in.

Not sure if its using and actual blue tooth connection or not but I use my Logitech wireless USB keyboard on mine sometimes. Plug the USB dongle into one of the back USB slots and you're good to go.

If your computer has blue tooth you can connect to it just like a phone or tablet, however most computers "do not have" blue tooth. I have a usb bluetooth adapter that I use. I would be hesitant to recommend a particular device since I really don't know which are good. If you search for "usb" "bluetooth" "adapter" "dongle" you will find several for under 20 dollars.

Would love to have this know the answer to this as well. In the interim, I bought one of those toshiba usb adapters http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&source;=hp&q;=usb+bluetooth+adapter+toshiba&oq;=&gs;_rfai=&um;=1&ie;=UTF-8&cid;=10279719605232388935&ei;=mpCnS4jFEZOgswPCleXZAw&sa;=X&oi;=product_catalog_result&ct;=result&resnum;=3&ved;=0CBoQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers

As far as I know, it is not built in, or I haven't tried to find it. Go to your menu at the bottom left of the screen, or the right side for Windows 8. Type bluetooth in the box, and it says Add Bluetoth device.

Yes, it works. I used bluetooth headphones on 2 different pc's. After you install them check Windows Updates. I needed to do an update that made the usb's work after. good luck

So I've tried everything above and they did not work for me, however after few hours of searching I found a solution that works.check out the following link;http://superuser.com/questions/23774/how-do-i-play-audio-through-a-bluetooth-headset-in-windows-7The solution worked on my Acer Aspire laptop, running windows 8. Hope it helps.

I haven't tried a laptop specifically but it it should work through bluetooth, HDMI, or the standard 1/8" stereo auxiliary input. We use it with our phones through bluetooth all the time.

The USB drivers appear to work in windows 7 fine. Audio is sent to the USB port as digital and the headset converts it to analog. I do not have windows 8, but would assume the USB drivers would not have been removed in the newer release.

Sorry to say but this laptop does not have any bluetooth.There are some options to connect to external devices through some wifi etc.But BLUETOOTH not present means a big problem.Otherwise the laptop is good and boots up really quick using WIndows 8

I used it with Windows 8.1, but once you have Bluetooth capabilities an your PC or laptop it will work.

These will probably work with Windows 8. I use Windows 7 and Windows XP and had to get additional software to get them to work with my PC's. Most new laptops already have Blue Tooth capability.
