[SOLVED] Do I need a Bluetooth adapter to connect headphones to PC?

[AaronKyle]

Hello there. I just ordered Bluetooth headphones and I was wondering on how to connect them.

I'm asking because my PC doesn't show the option to turn on/off Bluetooth in "Bluetooth & other devices" section.

Will the button appear when my headphones are in range or do I need an adapter?

Check the details of your purchase, the headphones may come with a PC dongle. But in any case you will need a Bluetooth adapter on your PC, which it may have -- what is the model?

My headphone order and the description says nothing about an adapter.

Can you please elaborate that I may have an adapter on my PC? And when you ask what model, what are you referring to?

Some laptops come with Bluetooth build in with the wireless -- very few motherboards do though.

I'm on a PC and using an Ethernet cable, so that would be a no. In that case, I should order a Bluetooth Adapter?

Can you tell me if I should spend a bit of money of a simple 10$ adapter such as Orica BTA-403 will do just fine?

My motherboard model is Gigabyte H310M S2H 2.0

You will need to order a Bluetooth 4 USB adapter for your computer, as the earphones will work with most modern cellphones that already have Bluetooth, but not with a PC. Amazon has a ton of them. Bluetooth 4.1 (your earphones) will work with all Bluetooth 4 or 5 implementations (4.0, 4.1,4.2, 5) -- just be sure to get a newer adapter that has Windows 10 drivers. They run around $10 or so.

The Orica BTA-403 would be fine.
