Has anyone connected Arctic P311 Bluetooth Sports Headset, Pink (HEASO-ERM37-GBA01) to their windows 7 computer?

Most likely you will need a Bluetooth transmitter USB dongle like the UD2 since most Windows 7 computers are not Bluetooth-enabled.

Yes, as my computer also has bluetooth. I do it often to listen to my videos with more privacy. This being a stereo headset, coudn't be better! Works perfectly!

Yes, but it's a pain. You have to go into your control panel and select it as the default audio output, otherwise it pairs but gets no audio.

although my pc is bluetooth enabled i still would need a to have a bluetooth adapter for pc and then search for device. its a small usb device that will pick up the signal

I love mine, it stays connected unless I get too far away from the bluetooth source. One recommendation may be to go to your bluetooth device list and have it forget/delete the headset and then put the headset in discovery mode by powering it up and holding the power button until it flashes blue. Reconnect it that way and see if that helps with the connection being more stable. Other than that I'm not sure what you can do. I use mine with my iPhone, iPad, iMac, and MacBook Pro and have not had these problems. I have not tried it with a PC.

You can take a look here: http://bluetoothinstaller.com/They provide a way to make this and other generic dongles work with the built in Microsoft driver.

I doubt it. Unless it uses normal windows drivers, it wont connect with their Bluetooth adapter.

I would suggest this Kinivo that you plug into a USB port on your PC. Kinivo Btd-400 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter for Windows 8/Windows 7/Vista

I don't know because Artic changed their website, I can't find any drivers there. They used to be there. filename of win8 drivers was/is: E95-v2010 0053 2012.11.24 WIN8.ZIP I have this driver installed on my laptop that is typing this, works fine, windows 8.1 installed on laptop. it is the official driver by Artic. There are win 8 drives for this headset at driver download places on the net, I just saw a couple but who knows if these are safe, or spyware/virus? for what its worth (untested, could be dangerous , use at own risk): http://xtopxdriver.blogspot.com/2004/01/arctic-p531-windows-8-driver.html

Newegg is ignoring the release date and selling them. There are 5 reviews up there if you wish to read them. I bought a pair and I'm pretty happy with them but the 7.1 drivers aren't available yet (probably the reason for the delay). They just install as USB Stereo headset at the moment. Bluetooth sounds pretty good on my phone (but still bluetooth). The PS3 ones cut out a lot over bluetooth attached to my Surface but these ones are better (although I still use the USB because it's better than bluetooth).

I had this exact problem with other BT headsets in the past.If deleting & re-pairing doesn't work, try installing a different bluetooth (drivers) stack-- usb adapters usually load windows standard drivers, but there are better ones out there.I had luck with WidComm also BlueSoleil drivers(which can simultaneously connect with your cell & pc. you can then take calls & dial out cell calls thru your pc -- great for recording etc)Anyways, most of these are readily available if you google & often available on manufacturer websites (hp, lenovo, etc)Got mine workinGood luck with yoursI am using my original halos with a cheapo 2.0 BT usb adapter I got for $1 w/free shipping too !!

I use these with my Fujitsu laptop, running Windows 7, all the time. One little issue though. It does NOT automatically connect after it's been paired. I have to go into the Sound settings and manually load the driver, including telling it to play sound files. I have emailed AresX about this issue and they are working with Microsoft to come up with a fix.

@ Tony,There are no drivers needed for the headset that I know of. You may have to buy a separate USB bluetooth adapter and install it to your machine. I recommend the Rocketfish. Its cheap, easy to install, and it works. My brother had a similar issue with one of his headsets (admittedly, not these) and when he got a different bluetooth adapter, everything worked perfectly. Hope this helps.

I was able to get it to play sound on Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the CSR Harmony software from http://www.aziocorp.com/support/download/files/wireless/btd-v400/CSR_Harmony_2.zip, unzipped it and ran the setup.exe in the x64 folder. Then with the dongle plugged in I went in to Device Manager and under Bluetooth Radios right-clicked the device there and clicked Update Driver Software. Then clicked Browse my computer... and browsed to c:\Program Files\CSR\CSR Harmony Wireless Software Stack and clicked Next. It updated the driver. Then when I clicked on the bluetooth icon in the system tray and clicked Add Device one of the options listed was Audio/Video Device. I clicked that then proceeded to pair with the headset like normal and it's working great now.

Your computer doesn't need bluetooth internally. This setup has a USB stick--looks like flashdrive--that allows the headset to connect to your computer.

Actually, I am also. I have revamped the machine multiple times with new Windows installations and the system only recognized my Bluetooth mouse one time, at one Windows installation. It is currently not recognizing it.

same problem over here! I just got mine yesterday. It's the pink one, 160gb. Everything else works cherry so far. For me, the mic is not worth the hassle of returning since i will probably rarely use it (if ever). If there is a fix though, I'd definitely love to know! Thanks for starting this discussion!

I agree with RobertAtThebeach - I have used the bluetooth to connect to my win 8.1 ultrabook running MS Streets and Trips 2014. It is usable but quite often the connection is dropped - then MS S&T; gets confused - then connection re-establishes and things return to normal the whole process is usually 10-15 seconds then a few minuets later it happens again. . I gave up on the bluetooth connection and just wired it directly to the PC and the connection is very steady.

I am using this on Windows 7 Pro WITH the Generic USB audio driver from Microsoft dated 7/12/2013 V 6.1.7601.18208. The driver listed on the Turtle Beach Support web site: AAMicro_64Win7VistaXP IS NOT DIGITALLY signed and will NOT work on my system!
