Learn how to pair the TECKNET TK-HS005 Bluetooth headset with your PC or phone and connect the ENC dongle for clear calls. Step-by-step setup and fixes.
Quick answer
To set up the TECKNET TK-HS005, first pair it over Bluetooth to your computer or phone, then plug in the ENC dongle for a dedicated, noise-canceling call connection. Use Bluetooth for everyday audio and the dongle when you need the clearest microphone performance.
Bluetooth vs. dongle: when to use each
The TK-HS005 gives you two ways to connect. Bluetooth lets you move around and pair with phones or laptops without a dongle, while the included ENC dongle creates a fixed USB link that keeps the noise-canceling microphone active for calls. If your computer’s built-in Bluetooth is unreliable or you spend hours on softphone calls, the dongle is the better choice. For music and casual use, Bluetooth is more convenient.
What the ENC dongle actually does
ENC stands for Environmental Noise Cancellation. The dongle works with the headset’s microphone to reduce background sounds like road noise or office chatter, so callers hear you more clearly. Plugging in the dongle does not require any extra software; it appears as a USB audio device. Keep in mind that ENC affects the microphone, not what you hear in the earcups.
Comfort and fit before you start
The TK-HS005 has large over-ear cushions and an adjustable headband. Before pairing, adjust the headband so the earcups sit comfortably over your ears, and rotate the 270° mic boom so the microphone is close to your mouth. A poor fit can make the ENC microphone pick up more room noise than necessary.
Step-by-step TK-HS005 setup
- Charge the headset: Connect the TK-HS005 to a USB charger or computer using the supplied charging cable and let it charge fully before first use. A common mistake is pairing before charging, which can cause the headset to power off mid-process. Check that the charging indicator shows a full charge before you begin.
- Put the headset in pairing mode: Turn the headset on, then press and hold the power button until the LED flashes rapidly (usually red and blue). If you don’t see rapid flashing, release and try again. Do not hold the button for too long or you may turn the headset off. Rapid flashing means it’s ready to pair.
- Pair to your computer or phone via Bluetooth: On your device, open Bluetooth settings, scan for new devices, and select “TK-HS005” from the list. If prompted for a PIN, try 0000 or 1234. On a computer, make sure Bluetooth is turned on and the headset is set as the default audio output and input. After pairing, test the microphone in your call app to confirm it’s selected.
- Connect the ENC dongle for calls: Plug the ENC dongle into a free USB port on your computer. The headset should automatically switch to the dongle’s audio channel; if not, press the dongle’s pairing button (if present) or re-plug it. In your sound settings, set the dongle as the default microphone and speaker. The dongle takes priority over Bluetooth when plugged in; unplug it to return to Bluetooth.
- Position the microphone and test: Rotate the 270° mic boom so the microphone sits about two fingers’ width from your mouth. Make a test call or recording to check that the ENC is working. If callers still hear background noise, move the mic closer and avoid covering the mic with your hand. Proper mic placement is key to effective noise cancellation.
