The last few years can be considered a full-fledged flourishing of wireless devices: headphones, mice, keyboards, portable speakers, etc. Nowadays, such gadgets can boast a long battery life and a bunch of additional conveniences in operation.

If you only need to perform a couple of actions to connect a Bluetooth headset to a smartphone, then in the case of a PC and laptop, you will need a little more steps. In the article, we will consider each of the cases.

How to Connect Wireless Headphones to PC (Windows 10)

If your PC has a Bluetooth module installed, do the following:

  1. Disconnect the headphones from other devices;
  2. Put the headphones into search mode (see the manufacturer’s instructions for how to do this);
  3. Click on “Start” in the lower left corner;
  4. Open “Settings”;
  5. Go to the “Devices” tab;
  6. Click on “Add Bluetooth or other device”;
  7. Click on the line “Bluetooth”;
  8. Find the name of your headphones in the list provided (also indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions) and click on it.

If after the fifth step you get some error, it means that the Bluetooth module is missing from the computer. However, the situation can be fixed – for this you will need to buy an external Bluetooth adapter that connects to the USB slot. The necessary drivers will install themselves after the first connection of the adapter to the PC.

How to Connect Wireless Headphones to a Laptop (Windows 10)

All modern laptops are equipped with a Bluetooth module. What can I say, it will be much more difficult for you to find a model that does not have it. And the procedure for connecting a wireless headset to a laptop is absolutely identical to that in the case of a PC.

How to Connect Wireless Headphones to a Mac

Wireless headphones are even easier to pair with devices running macOS. Note that you can connect not only AirPods to an iMac or MacBook , but also headsets from other manufacturers.

  1. Disconnect the headphones from other devices;
  2. Put the headphones into search mode (see the manufacturer’s instructions for how to do this);
  3. Click on the gear icon in the bottom panel;
