Anyone get this working on a desktop with a usb adapter? Hi. I have Windows 7 and installed the Medialink USB Bluetooth adapter - and then tried to use the JABRA Halo2 headset. I am able to "pair" the headphones, they show up under bluetooth devices and I can open the "control" panel but they say "disconnected" and when I try to "connect" it tries very hard to but comes back with an error message "Error connecting to headset. Please retry this operation" And I have..... many times. And yes, they are on, have a good battery charge, and are in very close range. I am so disappointed. They work great with the iPad though.

I had this exact problem with other BT headsets in the past.If deleting & re-pairing doesn't work, try installing a different bluetooth (drivers) stack-- usb adapters usually load windows standard drivers, but there are better ones out there.I had luck with WidComm also BlueSoleil drivers(which can simultaneously connect with your cell & pc. you can then take calls & dial out cell calls thru your pc -- great for recording etc)Anyways, most of these are readily available if you google & often available on manufacturer websites (hp, lenovo, etc)Got mine workinGood luck with yoursI am using my original halos with a cheapo 2.0 BT usb adapter I got for $1 w/free shipping too !!

Magickly - thank you very much for the information. I actually succeeded - i did try deleting and re-pairing but I also went to Medialink and downloaded another driver and reinstalled and then viola! So, it can be done! If you look on the medialink usb bluetooth adapter product page here in Amazon, their customer support has posted in the discussions with the links for drivers and other info - I applaud them for their proactive outreach to customers.

I am using a Bluetooth dongle off of my desktop and have had no problems connecting. A little tricky to get it to connect, but once I got it connected it hasn't stopped rockin'!

Every Bluetooth headset and/or speaker I have tried to sync with has worked great. With my laptop, there was one time I had to turn off the speaker driver and make the headset the "primary" speaker. Otherwise, it works great and can't beat the price. Hope that helps and enjoy.

(not a direct answer) For me, it is working *alongside* Lync. I have a desktop, our IT department recently gave us Jabra headsets for Lync Phone calls, and I am still able to use my other headphones with this Kensington bluetooth dongle to listen to music.

Hello there Harry. When I first checked it, it said it was but couldn't connect so what I did was I purchased a USB 4.0 Bluetooth Dongle on Ebay for $7.00 and it worked great. I connected my phone, Bluetooth speaker and printer to it. Hope this helps. Haven't had any issues with this DESKTOP! !

I just recently picked up the Sony Bluetooth adapter and plugged it into my iPhone 3G. I've tried to get stereo connectivity out of these Motorolas, but can only get it to work with calls. It does not, for me, work for stereo music.I used the same adapter with a Sony Bluetooth stereo headset and it works perfectly - the music comes through great, all while I have the functionality of a bluetooth headset. I am going to return this Motorola headset and just keep the sony (these are also more comical looking than the slim design of the Sony headset).

has anyone tried connecting this to a pc - win 8.1 via bluetooth? it does not appear anyone has tried. could someone try and let us know?

I was able to get the headset to work in Windows 7 64-bit. You have to set your computer's Bluetooth to "Discoverable", then turn on your headset. It should show up in My Bluetooth Devices, and it will make you download new Broadcom drivers. Should work after you install the new drivers. I tested it with Skype, seems to have decent call quality.

If you have an android phone then download the app called torque it works really good with the Bluetooth. As for the CD you only need that if your using it via the computer, I have the cd but have never used it. I could try to send you the files off of mine if you want. email me if you want me to try that, vespoli2x@aol.com. Hope I can help

I could not make it work on my Windows computer. It is designed to be paired with portable device like phone or MP3 player. I tried to pair it with my Windows machine and was unable. I looked for the drivers but with no success.

I was able to connect once to my bluetooth headphones and I am not able to connect anymore. Does not work great. I wasn't able to do full installation on my computer. I have windows 7. Not sure about multiple devices.

I don't think there is any Bluetooth connectivity here. My iPad does not see it. My iPhone 4S does not see it. There is no Bluetooth symbol or sticker on the speakers anywhere. I'm not sure what the item description: "Superb gaming sound effects via Bluetooth,DBB to preserve low tones for deep bass at any volume level." is referring to. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has connected to it themselves as it would be useful to have my iPad oriented horizontally (for movies) and still use the speakers (undocked).

You need an adapter...They're only about $10. I bought this one on Amazon: Jabra 1005143 Netcom Qd To 2.5MM Stereo Plug. The headset works well and I have no complaints. Hope this helps. :)

My headphone pair worked fine. I always turn on the headset on first and wait for the 2nd beep (the one that lets you know that the headphones are searchable), i go to my device and turn on it's blue tooth and look for RevJams. That's the name of my blue tooth headset. It might be yours too. Anyway, try turning on the headset first and then the device's bluetooth. Hope that helps! :)

I'm having the same problem. I contacted the company and they said the headset isn't designed for Windows, and that you may not be able to get it to work even with the correct drivers. Annoying!!
