I bought a set of HP bluetooth stereo headphones. They are supposed to work with a laptop. I set them up and there was no sound coming from them as there was no way to tell the laptop to start transmiting to the headphones. Googled a few searches, no luck.

Grudgingly, I called “Technical Support”

Voice activated phone menu prompts: “Bluetooth Headphones” – is that a notebook or a desktop?
Wireless Headphones” – I didnt understand. is that a notebook or a desktop?

None of Those

First Operator – tries to route to correct section
Transfer to another. Tier 1 support reads script, gets confused, transfers me.
Second level support answers?
Hung Up On
20 minutes wasted
