I'm trying to connect this to my laptop's bluetooth but not having luck. Anyone find a solution? Running Windows 7 Pro. Thanks!

I connect mine to my iPad. Works flawlessly every time. Not sure with your laptop on windows. I'd email Killer concepts and ask them. They always reply real quick when I've had to email them. Sorry I couldn't help.

Don't have first hand knowledge about Windows 7 BT, just using Android and that works great. You may wish to look at this:http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/50787-no-bluetooth-devices-found.html. In the mean time, directly hook them up with 3.5mm connection.

The Audio jack in a laptop is different from a phone or tablet. A laptop or computer jack is designed to be purely for speakers. That is why there is a separate input port for the mic. On a tablet or phone, port is both speaker and mic. They might look the same on the outside but they are differently wired I learned that the hard way trying to plug in my ear phone with mic ( that I use on my phone ) into my computer. I lost audio and if I could get any it was on one speaker only

Did you eventually find a good solution for your application? I'm hoping to do essentially the same thing, except I had planned to use the headphone outputs of both the piano and laptop. I would be grateful to know if you got this to work, and any details you might be willing to share about the hookup. Thanks.

My computer does not have Bluetooth. But, they always paired with my windows phone. Unfortunately, I have had three pair. All three failed me. The volume toggle fell off. And, eventually they would pair and work with my phone. But, then they would cut in on my music with "please give a command" and other phrases. So I discarded them. Keep in mind I had three pair in 5 months. Good luck

I own this laptop and it does not have Bluetooth. It does have Windows 8.1 which is a huge downside to ownership.

am hoping that i'm not steering you wrong here but, so far, i've found that this thing has linked easily to every bluetooth capable device i own (tablet, laptop, smartphone). after reading your question, i looked up the specs/description on your device as i wasn't familiar with it - can't imagine why it would not link up and work well for you.

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 workin Good luck with yours I am using my original halos with a cheapo 2.0 BT usb adapter I got for $1 w/free shipping too !!

I have live streamed it to my Motorola Atrix II, but I have not tried to link it to a laptop. It searches for a bluetooth device that has the Looxie app installed.

Hi Mark, I have tried to connect the transmitter to the audio output from my flatscreen and sending the Sound to wireless speakers. The setup was easy, but i felt the audio was slightly out of sync with the movements on the screen. I dont know quite what to say. It was not convincing!

Hello there Harry. When I first checked it, it said it was but couldn't connect so what I did was I purchased a USB 4.0 Bluetooth Dongle on Ebay for $7.00 and it worked great. I connected my phone, Bluetooth speaker and printer to it. Hope this helps. Haven't had any issues with this DESKTOP! !

This worked for me also. I accidentally missed step 3, but it found the headset anyway. I had trouble getting it to connect (right click on headset in bluetooth device menu -> Control then pushing the connect button), but after a couple off/on cycles of the headset and hitting the connect button after turning on, it finally connected and now I have music playing. Thanks to OP for solution.

please post a review! I'm debating on whether to get this, not sure if it's the same as a regular old bluetooth adapter (which is much cheaper) and can't seem to find any information about it.

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.

Magickly - thank you very much for the information. I actually succeeded - i did try deleting and re-pairing but I also went to Medialink and downloaded another driver and reinstalled and then viola! So, it can be done! If you look on the medialink usb bluetooth adapter product page here in Amazon, their customer support has posted in the discussions with the links for drivers and other info - I applaud them for their proactive outreach to customers.

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.

I have been unable to get it working on an HP Z420 workstation with Windows 8 (not 8.1). Windows installs a driver automatically but the device stops before the Bluetooth stack looks like it ever gets loaded. Perhaps a driver would fix it, but I have yet to find one that works.

What version of windows are you running and are the batteries placement correct? I have te exact same keyboard and mouse and they work perfectly on Windows 8.1 Pro. plus I also have a Bluetooth wireless 3.0 device and a Bluetooth wifi 3.0 device all next to the blue tooth for keyboard an mouse , it might just be user error all items I have personally bought from amazon work great, plus you might have bought the item from a lower manufacturer on the selection list on Amazon... and just FYI the issue for ghosting is because of the device is too far away from his receiver for it to connect perfectly to the computer, move the device closer and it will function perfectly What version of windows are you running and are the batteries placement correct?

make sure that your bluetooth is turned on, what version of windows are you using and what are you hooking it up to an RS or a Pro??
