How to use a Bluetooth headset in a laptop?

A Bluetooth headset is a kind of wireless device that can be used for communication. The Bluetooth headset is also called the Bluetooth headphone; it has earphones and Bluetooth receivers in one unit. It can connect to Laptop, mobile phone; tablet PC, etc. through Bluetooth. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of Bluetooth headsets in laptop, one is a stereo wireless headset that not only uses Bluetooth technology but also has the characteristics of an MP3 player. The other one is a mono Bluetooth headset that just serves as a hands-free device for mobile phones or computers without any features of an MP3/MP4 player. As time goes by, both kinds of these products have grown up quickly in the market because more people have started using them for their daily life communication.

Bluetooth headsets are becoming more and more popular, especially for PC users. Headset manufacturers like Plantronics model M2500 Office Wireless show that this trend is here to stay.

Note that the sound quality when using this “speaker plus Bluetooth headset combo” will not be as good as when you use a USB-connected Bluetooth dongle with USB connected PC speakers, but for a few minutes of calling here and there, it’s ok. The range in which this setup can work in my experience is about 10-15 meters (around 30 feet). This setup only works in Windows XP, Vista, or 7. For Mac users, I don’t know what Bluetooth driver they are using in Leopard OS X, but try searching mac forums on how to connect Bluetooth devices via computer speakers. Plantronics X200N is the only Bluetooth headset I have tried with this setup, but other models can also be used if it has “Hands-free Profile” support.

What Bluetooth headset does?

A good Bluetooth headset in laptop can not only reduce the effect of radiation on our ears but also provide a more practical experience in some scenarios. For example, when we are playing games or watching movies on smartphones, we do not need to hold the phone in our hands so that it feels tired. If you choose a quality Bluetooth headset with long battery life, you can still play several hours of mobile games without interruption.

Suitability of Bluetooth Headsets. 

Bluetooth headsets for laptops are suitable for using laptops because they are usually small enough to fit into any pocket. Unlike traditional wired headphones, no annoying wires will limit your mobility when using Bluetooth headsets with laptops. Click on the name and the MacBook will automatically connect.

In addition, as a kind of wireless device, Bluetooth headphone has some advantages over the traditional wired headset. Firstly, no wire will limit its movements and more importantly, it can be used for communication anytime, anywhere once it is turned on. In addition, some high-end headphones have built-in FM radio which provides you good audio entertainment wherever you go.

When choosing a Bluetooth headset for a laptop.

However, when choosing a Bluetooth headset for laptop, we need to know what kind of device we want to connect to our earphones? Most of them allow us to connect with two or more devices at the same time so that we can chat through two different devices at the same time. In this case, it is suggested not to choose one which can only connect with one device. Or if you want to connect to only one device then it will be better for us to choose a Bluetooth earphone that can connect with more than two devices. At the same time, we should know whether there is Bluetooth function on our laptop? If there is not, it will be better for us to buy an external Bluetooth dongle and install it on our notebook to use Bluetooth headphones. Although this method seems quite troublesome it is quite useful and convenient especially when we are traveling.

Conclusion

Bluetooth headsets can be used with a variety of devices, including your smartphone and computer. However, depending on the brand of Bluetooth headphones you have, you may only be able to connect it to one device at a time. If you have difficulties connecting the headphones to your phone after completing this setup, you may need to detach the headphones from the PC or switch off the PC’s Bluetooth if you want to connect to the phone while the computer is still in Bluetooth
