Cannot get headphones to connect to device - Lab JGo Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - Black by JLAB

How Wireless Headphones Work and How to Connect Them Wireless headphones are headphones that connect to a device, such as a smartphone, stereo speaker, television, gaming console, computer, or other electronic devices without using a wire or cable. Wireless headphones work by transmitting audio signals through either radio or IR (infrared) signals, depending on the device.

From call centers to fitness centers, wireless headphones are used by millions of people every day for work and play. For example, wireless headphones are popular with gamers, since it frees you to move around without having to worry about a cord. People doing a workout at the gym or in front of their TV in the living room love the freedom of wireless headphones. They are also perfect for people who want to watch late-night television without disturbing others.

Wireless headphones work by connecting, or pairing, with the device you want to use, through a radio or infrared signal. Many devices use Bluetooth technology to make connecting easier for the user. Devices with Bluetooth technology can connect and exchange data over very short distances using radio transmissions.

A product with Bluetooth technology has a tiny computer chip inside that contains the Bluetooth radio, and software that makes connectivity between devices possible. So when Bluetooth-enabled products, such as a cell phone and headphones, are in close proximity to each other, they connect, or pair. This enables you to talk on the phone or listen to music without wires.

Connecting a wireless headphone differs depending on the device you are using, but it's easy once you know how. Here is a list of the most popular devices that people use with wireless headphones and how to connect them.

(from plantronics web site)

nstall the USB dongle as the manufacturer instructs you and make sure it’s switched on. Next, fire up your headphones (don’t forget to charge them first). Now remember that most headphones have two different start-up modes. The first time you switch them on you’ll need to pair them with the USB computer. This is done by holding the power button on for at least 4 or 5 seconds (you should read the instructions manual to find out exactly how to do it).

After this is done, you’ll need to scan for Bluetooth devices from your PC. Just start up the software and use it to see what Bluetooth devices you have around. The scan should take a few seconds and after finishing, the software should display a list containing your headphones. Remember that other devices such as mobile phones may be detected if their Bluetooth modules are activated during the scanning process.


Select the headphones and go on to the next step. The software should provide you with two choices. You should be able to pair the device as Stereo Headphones or Headset. Choose headset and go to the next step. A pin will be required in order to pair the device. Most default pins are 0000, but you should check the manual in order to be sure.

The headphones will start ringing and you will be required to press the Call/Answer/Power button (do it). Also, a name should be provided for this connection. You can name it anything you like. My software also allows me to place an icon on the desktop and just double click it when I need to connect my headphones with my laptop.

These should be the basic steps when pairing a device for the first time. Now, if I want to connect my headphones with my laptop I can just activate them (in non-pairing mode) and double click my desktop icon to establish a connection.

You can also repeat the steps above in order to pair your device as stereo headphones. After switching on the device, just double click the connection you desire and everything will work flawlessly.

First go to control panel, sounds and audio devices
go to the audio tab and make sure that your usb device is selected for audio playback
then, unconnect the headphones and restart your computer
after restarting, connect the headphones and Speakers , it should work
