Do I need to have the nano receiver plugged into the computer at all times? Or will the computer discover the headset when it is connected w/ the wire

Yes, the nano receiver or a bluetooth dongle are needed (unless your computer has resident bluetooth capability). "Connected with the wire" is unclear to me. If you mean the charging cable, all it does is charge the headphones; it does not transmit data. You can use the headphones while charging, but must use the nano or bluetooth.

The wire is only for charging. You CAN use the headset while charging. You must use either the Bluetooth or the nano receiver to use the headset. Once it's set up with your computer, it generally pairs very quickly on its own when you turn on the headset. I would not leave the receiver in a laptop at all times - I did and when I dropped the laptop the thing was destroyed (laptop was fine). You can get another, but I could never get the new nano device to synch with the headphones. Gave up and used a bluetooth dongle, which works fine.

When I bought mine on Amazon I received the USB transmitter and the small unit you see a photo of on the left here which is a receiver. Then you plug a wire from the receiver into your sound system. You also need to load software onto your computer to activate the signal.

When I bought the headset it came with a receiver. However, I found that the receiver was interchangeable with my Husband's and mine, so if you have another receiver, give it a try. It's just a USB wireless receiver.

Sorry. I don't have a definite answer. I would make sure it is charged up and ghat the power source is pointed towards the headset.

You can connect it directly, but only to charge it. As soon as you plug it into the USB port it is no longer functional as a headset.

Yes you can, you have to keep the usb charger plugged onto the headset and the computer, and you can use the headset even while it is charging.

Yes, you must have the dongle plugged into the PC to connect to the headset.

Make certain that you have you have your computer in discovery mode aswell. After charging your headphones fully hold the power button from off position until you see the red/blue leds. It doesn't work if the headsets are already on. You can only pair the headphones from the off position and if the computer is actively searching for it aswell.

The headset is hardwired into the remote (the remote is not wireless) and the remote plugs into a usb port on your computer

If you have just the cord plugged into the headset it will turn on. You don't necessarily have to have it plugged into an audio source. You will hear a subtle white noise sound, very, very subtle. But only when you arent playing music do you hear it. Often times I will just have the headphones not plugged into my phone just to block noise while I study and its amazing.

You can connect to external device from the line out plug which is also the headset plug. The USB & mini other end is for changing only.

Yeah, you have to plug the headset to the controller. Just 1 wire that is about 6 feet long.

This headset is powered by the controller. A wire goes from the headset to the bottom of the controller. It is always plugged into the controller to function.

Yes, it will work with a Bluetooth enabled device. It would also work without a wire if your PC has Bluetooth. If not, you will be required to plug the headset into the computer for proper function.

yes, bluetooth headset can be paired to computer if it's bluetooth embedded

This headset is working wirelessly through the USB device. So the answer to your question then is no.

I see no problems. It connects with a USB cable and the computer has no problem recognizing it. Plug a headset into it and the system also recognizes the headset.
