  1. Why won't my wireless headphones show in the Bluetooth connection menu Windows 11


    I'm trying to connect my Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 to my windows 11 PC, but even though my headphones are in pairing mode they don't even show up. They aren't connected to anything else, but there's no issues connecting them to anything else. I've tried updating the Bluetooth drivers, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, I've been trying pretty much everything the Internet has to offer for a solution and nothing has worked. Even more confusing is that I've got no issues pairing other devices to my PC, it's just the headphones.

    :)

    • Just to verify, by saying that you can't see the option in Settings, are you saying that the device can't be recognized by your computer?
    • Have you tried connecting the Bluetooth headset to a different computers?
    • Have you tried connecting your computer to a different Bluetooth device?

  3. Wireless headphones not showing up in Bluetooth "Add a device"

    There doesn't seem to be any question that answers my question. Bluetooth works fine, it shows in my settings. My problem is that my wireless bluetooth headphones do not show, not in the Bluetooth menu, and not in the "connect" menu in action center.

    This is strange because the headphones work well on my phone and other devices, and my phone connects to the PC just fine as well. So I know that there isn't a bluetooth issue with the headphones themselves.

    Wireless Headphones-Bluetooth Transmitter

    I have a pair of bluetooth wireless headphones paired on my pc..no problem working fine and bought a bluetooth transmitter so i can use same headphones with my cd player.The only way to use headphones with cd player is to remove wireless headphones from bluetooth settings on pc.Now, if i want to use headphones on pc again i have to add device and restart pairing again. What i would like to know is if i buy a second pair of wireless headphones to use solely with cd player would the same bluetooth transmitter search both headphones and select the one i want or do i need to buy a separate bluetooth transmitter for cd player and leave the headphones connected and paired to pc alone? Thank you My OS is Windows 10 Pro with latest updates
