Differences

The devices we are talking about can be classified by the type of connection to the device:

• IR port. Such headphones should not have "barriers" for signal propagation. Are used at a distance of up to 10 meters.
• Due to radio waves. These headphones connect through a certain frequency range, well-kept in the distance. Most likely, other waves will interfere with listening.
• Bluetooth. A certain compromise between the first and second case. The working radius is also 10 meters, but the quality of the transmission will depend only on the manufacturer.

Important! It is best to use the latest type of device to connect wireless headphones to your computer, for a variety of reasons: quality, radius, ease of use.

Preparing for operation

We already mentioned that any laptop has an adapter. The same can not be said for stationary personal computers. Users of a standard PC will have to first get a device.

If the device you already have in stock, proceed to connecting and configuring bluetooth. Adapters are of two different types:

• External. Connect to the USB input.
• Internal. These adapters are only connected to the PCI slot.

Important! Only you can choose from them, but the connection of the former is much faster.

The driver must be installed on the computer, which will allow the adapter to work correctly. The drivers are checked in the device manager of the computer. You can get there like this:

1. Press win + R to open the window.
2. In it write devmgmt.msc. Confirm your actions by pressing the "OK" key.
3. Look for the line "Network adapters" or "Bluetooth radio modules" in the window that opens. Go to this thread.
4. If you do not see the radio modules, open the network adapters. Find "Bluetooth Devices" here.

Important! If there are no devices, and there is some undefined equipment, you can install drivers.

If you managed to install the software, you can tackle our main question: "How to connect wireless headphones to a PC?".

drivers You can install the necessary drivers using the boot disk that comes with the device. Nothing complicated in this installation is not enough - just follow the instructions of the installation wizard.

Connect headphones to the TV

Modern TVs are also not deprived of wireless adapters. In the connection there is nothing new: activate the bluetooth on the devices, "connect".

The built-in adapter is not always needed, because there is another method of connection.

We need a bluetooth audio transmitter with the following ports:

• 3.5 mm.
