I know I know -- I've been here before with many BT issues.But... I was able to install and work my funky earbuds. I now see its name listed on the BT device manager. So my question is, my nice earbuds that I can't install -- do they need their own driver? I tried to go to the product page to see about a driver but it just comes up with more Amazon for sale stuff. Or should the installed driver that shows up in device manager work for any and all BT ear buds. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

In any case, if a paired Bluetooth device fails to connect over and over, even after disabling Bluetooth for a few seconds and enable it again, the fix is to forget the device (remove it from the list) and pair it again. The same workaround works for smartphones and other devices with Bluetooth connection. Not only in Windows. So remove the device from the list and pair it again.
