How to connect Bluetooth headphones to a computer or laptop on Windows 10
I recently bought Bluetooth headphones for myself, and decided to write a short instruction on how to connect them to a laptop or computer on which Windows 10 is installed. In fact, everything is very simple.
And if all is well, the connection process takes less than a minute. But there are times when things don't work out. For example, it is impossible to turn on Bluetooth in Windows 10, the computer does not see the wireless headphones, the connection does not pass, the sound does not play, etc. Therefore, in this instruction I will show how to connect Bluetooth headphones to the computer. And if something doesn’t go according to plan, some error appears, or other problems arise, then you describe your case in the comments. I will try to help everyone. In Windows 10, working with Bluetooth is much better organized than in previous versions. The system itself almost always automatically finds and installs the Bluetooth adapter driver, understands what device you have connected to the computer, and how to “communicate” with it. After connecting my JBL E45BT headphones to my ASUS laptop via Bluetooth, I realized that at least something in Windows 10 was working stably.
In the playback device settings, I configured everything in such a way that after turning off the power to the headphones, the sound automatically goes to the speakers. And after turning on the headphones, literally in a couple of seconds they automatically connect to the laptop and the sound goes to the headphones. That is, you set up the connection once, and in the future the headphones will connect automatically. I will also write about this at the end of the article. You may find this information useful.

What do you need to connect Bluetooth headphones to a computer or laptop?
There are several nuances:
- If you have a laptop, then it most likely has a built-in Bluetooth adapter. This is very easy to check by looking at the specifications of your laptop. All you need is to install the driver for the Bluetooth adapter if Windows 10 did not install it itself. Most often, the driver is installed automatically. In the settings, in the “Devices” section, you should have a “Bluetooth and other devices” tab. I wrote about this in more detail in the article: how to enable and configure Bluetooth on a laptop with Windows 10.
- If you have a desktop computer (PC), then it most likely does not have Bluetooth. Although, if I'm not mistaken, some new motherboards have a built-in adapter. If it is not there, you will not be able to connect headphones. But there is a solution, you can buy a USB Bluetooth adapter. How to choose it, I wrote in the article Bluetooth adapter for a computer. How to choose. It is connected to the USB port of the computer, the driver is installed on it (automatically, from the included disk, or from the Internet), and you can connect your Bluetooth headphones to the PC. The price of such adapters is low. About the same as a bag of good chips
