How to connect Motorola HS820 Bluetooth Headset with PC? Any ideas what adapter I can get to get it connected to my PC for VoIP or is it possible at all with this product?

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.

Yes, you can use it for your PC as I have done. Plug the base into a standard PC jack for sound. This headset does not use bluetooth technology as it works by infrared, not the radio waves of bluetooth.

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

Ok what is it is the hole on the computer too big or too small for the plug from the headset? Do you have a connection for each of the mic and the ear pieces or just one? For newer computer the Head set has a single 3.5MM connection with 4 contact rings that will work with newer phones, tablets and computers both apple and windows. for older computer that separate connection for the mic and speaker they provide an adapter cable that is color coded green for speakers or headphones and pink for mic. The other adapter is a 2.5 mm for older cell phones and many wireless home phone. From your post I have to guess you have the 2.5 mm adapter installed, remove it and plug the cable directly into the computer. Hope this helps.

this headset comes with 2 jacks, one for the speaker jack and one for the mike jack. it will match up to your pc perfectly. to use this with other items (cell phone) you would need an adapter that has a 4 prong (or 4 contacts) connector for the stereo speakers and the mic.

Hello Terrie, Your Dell must have built-in Bluetooth transmitter in order to communicate properly with external Bluetooth devices such as p311. There is a good chance you will need to purchase an external Bluetooth transmitter, a.k.a. Bluetooth dongle. It is fortunately, rather inexpensive. The process of setting up a Bluetooth headphones with a Windows-based PC can be a little time-consuming since the process is very different than one-button pairing with a smart phone. Once you make your Dell truly Bluetooth-enabled, then P311 can work just fine with it. Please feel free to contact us at arctic.us@arctic.ac if you have any question. Thank you.

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.

I cannot seem to get the adapter to work at all. There are no directions included with the product. Am I doing something wrong? I have just been plugging it in to my computer, MP3 player, etc, turning it on, turning on my headset, and hoping for the best. Nothing. I have tried all that in different orders too. Any suggestions? Anne

Most laptops that have microphone and headphone sockets have them as separate connectors. This headset is made for mobile phones which uses one connector that combines headphone and microphone. I cannot find the right adapter at radio shack, but a quick search on ebay for "Smartphone Headset to PC Adapter" turned up many adapters. I cannot tell you for certain that they will work for you, but if I had to do this, that is where I would start.

I tried a spare generic Bluetooth adapter, that I had lying around, on my Ooma and it didn't work (works fine on my PC, so it's not a hardware failure). According to the Ooma user forums, they've apparently changed their firmware to only work with the Ooma-branded adapter. Costs more than a generic, but the company makes money from hardware sales and optional services, not the basic phone service, so I can't begrudge them the sale.

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.

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.

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 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.

It works with most phones as long you have bluetooth but you need to install a program called franklin bracelet in the app store and its totally free, but I have managed to connect it without the program but its better if you download it. As for the headset I dont think its possible, I havent tried it yet but if I have any updates i'll let you know :p trust me its worth getting it :) I hope that helps. Billy
