Steven What OS you got? In windows 7 for me all you got to do is change a option in the playback device setting click on the speaker.

You need to install the software that came with the USB adapter.I managed to plug in the adapter and Windows 8 made it work automagically. You should notice a bluetooth icon on your taskbar indicating that you have a bluetooth device installed.If after plugging it in, waiting a few minutes until windows installs it properly you don't see the blue bluetooth icon then you need to install the software manually forom the cd that came with your USB adapter.

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.

You don't want to buy this. I had this for less than a year and it quit working. As long as your computer is Bluetooth it will connect. This is what broke on mine and now it does not work at all. I went and bought the Sony it works great.

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 am having no issues using Windows 8.1 Pro's default Bluetooth driver. I pair with speakers and headphones that do not use a code. Works well. Never bothered with any other drivers. This info may not help you in any other version of Windows. I can't attest.

As Chris said below, the output on this device is limited to just speakers. It does not broadcast the audio via bluetooth. If you are playing via device on bluetooth it locks out the usb or sd/mmc It would connect to your hearing aid but then could only output your audio which could cause feedback. It did a great job on my devices: computer (bluetooth usb adapter ver. 3 and direct connect android pad with remote control changing the files on the attached device, bluetooth or direct but beware that sub usb charging jack needs reinforced.What are the options on you hearing device or model number. I can look it up. As Chris said below, the output on this device is limited to just speakers. It does not broadcast the audio via bluetooth.

I tried to use this to connect a Bluetooth speaker to a laptop. It did not work. My analysis was that the problem was with the laptop driver as the speaker appeared to be able to acquire the Bluetooth signal. I was not able to solve the problem. My opinion is that you will no know whether it will work until you try it. If you can find another device, probably more expensive, that has a track record of working for your application, that is a better purchase.

I assume you have already installed the Bluetooth adapter. If not, just insert it into an available USB port and the drivers should be loaded automatically. If the adapter has been successfully added, you'll be able to see an new icon representing Bluetooth in the notification area at the bottom right of your screen within the visible or hidden portion of this area. Right click on this icon and select "Enable Bluetooth Function" from the drop down list. From the same drop down list, select "Add New Connection". You will immediately see a dialog box actively looking for your Bluetooth enabled device. From there, you'll have to follow the instructions to pair this new device with your computer.

If your computer has Bluetooth internally it should be plug and play. If not (which is what I think your question might mean) you can get a USB Bluetooth adaptor and then your computer will be able to communicate with Bluetooth devices with the adapter plugged in-including these headphones.

USB bluetooth adapter/device - unless your pc already has bluetooth. Then you just get them to talk to each other which happens under the bluetooth adapter software, so the procedure will vary depending on the manufacturer of your USB bluetooth adapter. It should be covered in the adapter manual/pdf.

if you do not have bluetooth get an adapter which can be bought for 2 dollars.

If you are trying to connect via bluetooth be sure the computer's bluetooth adapter is on (I usually keep mine off as I don't often use bluetooth with the computer.) In addition you may need to go into the sound device settings window and make the bluetooth the default device.

I believe that if you have a PC with the capacity to run any Bluetooth device (even with an adapter), that this should be enough to use the Bluetooth headphones. The only issue may be which version of Bluetooth you are trying to connect with. Make sure the adapter can run the same version that the headphones are on.
