Steps
Turn on your Windows laptop and check that Bluetooth is available. On some laptops there is a Bluetooth key or switch on the side or above the keyboard.
Put the Beats Solo 4 into pairing mode. Press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, until the indicator light starts flashing.
Open Settings. On Windows 11 click Bluetooth & devices. On Windows 10 click Devices, then Bluetooth & other devices.
Switch the Bluetooth toggle to On, then click Add device (Windows 11) or Add Bluetooth or other device (Windows 10).
Choose Bluetooth from the list of device types and wait a few seconds while Windows searches for nearby devices.
Click Beats Solo 4 in the list of found devices. Windows pairs and connects to the headphones automatically.
Click the speaker icon in the taskbar and pick Beats Solo 4 as the output device so sound leaves the headphones, not the laptop speakers.
Tips and common mistakes
Turn off Bluetooth on your phone before pairing, because the Solo 4 reconnect to the last device they were linked to.
Keep the headphones within about a metre of the laptop while pairing so the signal stays strong.
If the Solo 4 never show up in the list, turn Bluetooth off and on again, or restart the laptop and repeat the pairing.
If pairing keeps failing, factory reset the headphones by holding the power button and volume down button together for about 10 seconds, then pair again.
Questions
Why can't my laptop find the Beats Solo 4?
The headphones are probably not in pairing mode, or they are still connected to your phone. Hold the power button for about 5 seconds until the light flashes, then search again.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Windows has Bluetooth built in, so you can pair the Solo 4 straight from Settings without extra drivers or apps.
How do I disconnect the headphones later?
Open Settings, Bluetooth & devices, click the Beats Solo 4 entry and choose Remove device or Disconnect. You can also just turn the headphones off.
