Use a Bluetooth headset and install the Bluetooth driver on Windows 10

On Windows 10, you can easily use a Bluetooth headset to listen to music (for example).

  1. Download and install Bluetooth driver
  2. Add a Bluetooth device (Bluetooth headset)
  3. Choose the Bluetooth headset as the default audio device

1. Download and install Bluetooth driver

To get started, download your adapter's Bluetooth driver from its manufacturer's site for your operating system.
In this case, the Bluetooth driver for Windows 10.

Once the driver is downloaded, install it.

Once the driver is installed, you will need to restart your computer.

2. Add a Bluetooth device (Bluetooth headset)

To connect your Bluetooth headset, you will first need to click on the Bluetooth icon, then on: Add a Bluetooth Device.

In the "Settings" application that is displayed, click on: Add Bluetooth or other device.

Wait while searching for your Bluetooth headset. Once your headset is detected, click on it.

Note: your headset must be in "pairing" mode for it to be detected here.

Wait while connecting to your Bluetooth headset.

Once connected to your Bluetooth headset (in our case: the Bose QuietComfort 35), click OK.

In the "Settings" application, you will see your Bluetooth headphones appear in the "Audio" section.

3. Choose the Bluetooth headset as the default audio device

In order for the sound to come out through your Bluetooth headphones, it may be necessary to go to the Windows 10 sound settings.
To do this, click on the sound icon in the taskbar, then click on: Open Sound settings.

At the top of the "Settings" window that appears, you will see the output device currently in use.

If needed, select your Bluetooth headset from the "Choose your output device" list.

  • your Bluetooth adapter. In our case: ASUS USB-BT500.
  • your Bluetooth headset. In our case: Bose QuietComfort 35.
  • generic devices, such as: Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator.
  • and more

5. Delete a Bluetooth device (Bluetooth headset)

To delete a Bluetooth device, click on the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar, then on: Show Bluetooth Devices.
