Windows 10: Headphones/ earbuds

My earbuds are not working on my laptop. How do I get the computer to recognize them? They do work on me ipad.

New headphones, earbuds?

Heya all,

I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones, most likely an earbud model. These will be used at school and while jogging/working out, but i still want them to sound pretty good. My current headphones are the stenns hd202, which is massive, but it sounds great. not so good for packing around tho...

Problem is, i can't really find any decent earbud headphones. Budget is around $25 + s/h

Currently, my top pick is the stenn Street MX51. they look pretty nice, $20 on newegg.

but if anyone knows of any better ones around that pricerange, i'd love to know. also, input on that model would be great.

thx!

 

Headphones disappear from Playback

I have a strange problem here. For several different audio devices, the "Headphones" option is disappearing from my Playback list. I can connect to the Headsets for my various bluetooth over-ear headphones,earbuds, etc, but not the Headphones; these don't
even appear. How can I get my "Headphones" back?

Please do not suggest running a Troubleshooter; I've already done this, and it inevitably asks which device I want to troubleshoot. The Headphones don't show up on the list of devices, so this is of no help.

I can also pretty much guarantee this isn't an issue with the drivers particular to the earbuds or other devices, as I've made sure those are up to date, and the problem is occuring for more than one device.

 

New headphones, earbuds?

with Sony Fontopia Headphones, you could just put a dab of superglue where the cord meets the earbud. No more rippage! I guess Sony should have been smarter in the first place, but its an easy fix.
