How to connect beats wireless to laptop

The Beats Wireless series makes tangled headphone wires a thing of the past. If you want to pair your Beats Wireless with a device, it’s a simple process that can be done with a few quick steps. What’s more, you can connect them to any device that has an in-built Bluetooth function.

In this article, we’ll show you how to connect your Beats Wireless to different devices. We’ll also cover what you should do if there are any issues with the connection.

How to Connect Beats Wireless to a Windows PC

The process of pairing your device to Beats Wireless headphones consists of three parts. First, you need to turn the headphones on. The next step is to make sure you turned on the Bluetooth function on your device. The third and final step is to connect the two devices.

You can use this method for different versions of the Beats Wireless headphones – Beats X, Beats Studio, Beats Solo, and Powerbeats. Just make sure that your Beats headphones are charged before you pair them with another device. You can do this by plugging them into your computer with a USB cable, or by charging them normally, just like you’d do with your phone.

No matter which versions of Beats you have, you can turn them on by pressing and holding the power button on the right headphone for a few seconds. You’ll know that you’ve successfully turned them on when the LED lights start blinking. It should be a white light at this point, which means that your Beats Wireless are ready for a Bluetooth connection.

Keep in mind that your Beats Wireless can recognize and be connected to only one device at a time.

To connect your Beats Wireless to a Windows PC, follow the steps below:

1. Turn on your Beats Wireless.
   
   
2. Go to the Start menu in the bottom-left corner of the screen on Windows.
   
   
3. Click on the Settings icon on the left sidebar. It’s right above the power button.
   
   
4. Go to Devices and then to Bluetooth & other devices.
   
   
5. Toggle the Bluetooth switch to turn it on.
   
   
6. Select the Add Bluetooth or other device button.
   
   
7. Click on the Bluetooth option and Windows will start searching for other devices.
   
   
8. Find your Beats Wireless on the list of devices.
   
   

You’ll see the “Your device is ready to go” notification when the two devices are connected. Now you can listen to music, watch a movie, or play video games on Windows, while receiving the audio on your Beats Wireless headphones.

Additional FAQ
