How to Use Bluetooth Headsets As Audio Devices on Computers

You can sync up a Bluetooth headset with your computer.

Bluetooth is a wireless feature available on computers and other hardware allowing you to connect equipment without cables and wires. If you want to enjoy your favorite music, movies or video games, without disturbing others around you, it is a good idea to connect a Bluetooth headset to your computer. Directly pair up the headset with your computer. Once set, the audio flows wirelessly from the computer to the earphone audio equipment.
