How do I connect this to my computer without using Bluetooth? I do not like the pairing sounds each time I turn this off/on.

Just buy a 3.5mm Male To Male Stereo Audio Cable....plug in the back of the JBL and into your headphone jack on your computer....works like a charm.

You can connect to it via Blue Tooth or with a double sided 3.5mm audio wire (wire with two equal ends that look like a headphone plugs on each end). So if your computer has Bluetooth OR if your computer has a headphone outlet and you own that wire (you can get it at Radio Shack for $10 or so) then you should be good to go.

It does not have Bluetooth built into it, but it will use a USB adapter just fine. That's what I did.

Thanks for your inquiry. You may need to turn off bluetooth in one device and then turn bluetooth in the second. This is a fantastic sounding unit!

You have to turn on your Bluetooth on your computer. If your comp don't have Bluetooth you have to use the audio cable.

It does not come with bluetooth, you might try a bluetooth adapter but may have trouble pairing to your device. Hope this helps

I don't use Mac; but my HP Pavilion required a usb Bluetooth dongle. As long as I left it in and the speakers 'on,' the pairing was automatic. now I have a VAIO with bluetooth built in. As long as I don't turn the speaker itself off, it pairs on its own. I would suspect it would be the same for you.

You do not have to have a Bluetooth computer but you do have to buy a Bluetooth adapter to use it. Soundbot offers one.

Bluetooth only. If your computer doesn't have Bluetooth, then you will need to buy a USB-to Bluetooth adapter.

There's no need to do so. You can turn off the stereo on stop you computer's music player. I also will unpaired the Bluetooth when I want to play through the computer speakers. Are you thinking of another form of "turning off?"

First off figure out if your Desktop/laptop has bluetooth compatability. If not, you need to buy a bluetooth adapter for your laptop/desktop. Instructions will come the adapter. Sadly The sound quality is very poor when you connect it to the laptop....I'm not sure if I'm doing somthing but I wish you best of luck if u decide to purchase an adaptor. I own this headset and a Touchscreen HP Windows 8.1 Pavilion. So again I wish you best of luck.

Get a bluetooth connector from amazon. It's only 5 dollars and add it. That's what I did. Works flawlessly.

on my computer a popup from the computer appears which says something about not being able to connect bluetooth devices.... I have no other experience than that to report.

this is not a bluetooth device. i use a wireless usb transmitter attached to my computer. the sound is good; however, i think the wired version should be considered by you. the reason i am saying this is that the wireless version is loaded with wires and cables.

Your computer would have to connect via bluetooth, if your computer has bluetooth...
