I recently bought Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth earphones. And I was shocked to discover that it didn’t work with my laptop (Thinkpad T410) because neither Microsoft nor Sony Ericsson provide the drivers for Sony Ericsson MW600.
Windows did, however, give me 3 possible action center solutions to choose from. It suggested I needed an updated adapter driver, as well as one for the device. One sent me off to Broadcom, the other to Lenovo. I downloaded the Broadcom driver which looked like it was going to work, but the most I could get out of it was standard hands-free which produced phone quality audio, which sucked.
I uninstall it all and tried the Lenovo driver and voila! Everything working, Media Player track name is displayed on the OLED screen, I can play/pause etc – wonderful. At the time of writing the only thing I have left to test is a simultaneous connection to my phone so I can handle calls while listening to music on my laptop.
Download the Sony Ericsson MW600 Drivers from Lenovo website and off you go.
Note: Since I am using Thinkpad T410 not sure whether this will solve your problem or not.
Alternative to non Thinkpad Users : I saw people talking about Bluesoil drivers as well. It worked for people as per them. But it did not work for me. You can try this option as well if the first one fails. Remember you would need to register and then download the drivers from this website.
Most Important Note : Post installation of drivers you might face the problem where Windows 7 keeps saying could not install drivers for bluetooth headset. To overcome this problem have the device services setup like the screenshot below.
Update : Reset the headset if it does not work for you
To reset the headset:
- Make sure the headset is turned off.
- Press and hold down on/off key until the pairing indication appears.
- Simultaneously press and hold down On/Off key and call key until the headset turns off.
If you come across a post with loads of helpful facts it is a privilage to be able to praise the author. I have learnt some interesting details from your postings. Keep writing. Regards
Hey! Better to develop a habit of reading user manual of product carefully:
Page 10 of 20 of MW 600 User Manual Says- (and it works.. I have done it!)
1 Make sure the headset is turned off.
2 Turn on the Bluetooth function in the other device. For instructions, see the User
guide of the other device.
3 Place the other device within 20 cm (8 inches) of the headset.
4 Press and hold down on the headset for about 5 seconds until the pairing indicator
appears on the display.
5 In the other device: Search for and add a new device.
6 If a passcode is required, enter 0000.
So you are saying that by reading the Sony Ericsson user manual the issue that every other visitor of this page is facing can be solved. i.e. You mean to say by following your steps, we can use SE MW600 headphones with Windows 7 without facing any drivers compatibility issues?
Please elaborate on solution you are providing because it looks you are trying to help us get out headphone reset. If that is the case then its already mentioned by someone and has been updated in the post.
thanks for this good article..
Excelente a mi me funcionó, gracias por el aporte
Thank you very much, Im from Thailand.It’s work well with window 7 on compaq labtop. Thankyou
Welcome Arry !!
Notebook HP Pavilion dv4 (win 7); mw600 – It works! Thank you! ???????!
You’re welcome. Could you also mention whether you use x32 or x64?
Hi,
I bought the MW600 but i am surprised that i cannot have it connected with two mobile devices simultaneously!!! I can get the pairing done for each one of the devices but to have both of them paired is impossible.
In case that this is not an option for this bluetooth device i can say that is a uselless piece of machine that someone can buy (since the description is says differently).
Any help? I really need to have both mobile devices paired the same time and is a no go at the moment.
Thanks
Sorry, you can’t use any Bluetooth device simultaneously on 2 or more devices. It’s like you are asking for 2 cars with single engine. not possible.
Actually, that is not entirely correct, Admin, since this device can be connected to one source of media audio and one source of communication audio. The device automatically pauses the media source when there is comms incoming (like a phone call) and resumes after. That is what it says on the description, Leon, and that is what it does, I’m surprised with your surprise since this is the only device I’ve seen that has even this level of multipairing, do you know of any other device that allows that to be surprised?
I am no expert in it. But I have been using it but as far as I know Bluetooth device has a limitation to one connection at a time. Talking about this particular model, it works simultaneously with FM and one other Bluetooth connection.
The SE MW600 is supposedly one of the few devices to claim ‘Simultaneous’ multi-point connectivity with TWO devices.
However, there have been MANY complaints that the device doesn’t do it well.
Sad.. It would have been one of the highlights of this device. Have a single BT Device & connect it two Phones.
People could then receive calls from either phone.
So, You are actually wrong about the limitation bit For THIS product.
However, that said… One cannot have simultaneous & ACTIVE (both the devices Accessing the BT device for Music / calls actively). No product supports that.
thanks. works great after following ur steps!
You are welcome.
Thanks! It worked like charm on a HP Pavillion.
Thanks for this! It’s working perfectly on my Hp-tx2000 running on windows 7 ultimate 64bit
John and Al, I am glad that it worked for you.

Heya!
Used this on an Acer Aspire, Win 7 x64 and it worked just fine when using the lenovo drivers. Had to uncheck SEMC HLA as said in your description.
Thnx for the help! One up! +
Nice, a lot of people have benefited from this article. Its amazing how one article written for my own reference purpose in future has become one of the top viewed article on my blog. People seemed to have found their way to this blog while looking for the wifi drivers for the SE MW600 drivers.
Works flawlessly on HP EliteBook 8540W, Win 7 Pro 64bit
Thanks a lot!
Amazing. I am glad it worked out for you.
Dear Kuldeep,
i have installed lenova driver in compaq presario cq61 which is having win 7 x32 bit. there is no problem in installing the driver but still i could not add my mw600 because it keeps searching. please help me.
Try resetting the headset.
Hi
I also have T410.
I did all steps u did and updated the latest version of bluetooth drive (7zbv14ww.exe) on my laptop.
I could only pair my MW600 with Lenovo T410 by disabling Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator (accessible from Device manager under bluetooth radios) Then I could see the MW600 icon on Bluetooth Devices and after that I enabled it again.
The problem is when I right click on it >properties> Services there is nothing there. I tried several thing, reinstalling the driver, resetting MW600 and some other things. DO u have any idea what can be the cause of problem! Thanks
See if reset helps you. A lot of people have reported it to be working after reset. And its a common issue for Windows 7 to act like this. I also was not able to get mine working after I initially setup my headset. But then it just denied to be used. So try to reset your headset, Use a different account, reboot, try in safe mode. I am sure it would work.
Works great, thank you!!!
great it worked for me…
can i do the same for thinkpad L412 win7 32 bit????

Hi guys, Sony Ericsson MW600 Drivers from Lenovo website works with theSony Ericsson MW1 alias smart wireless headset pro !!!

thanx!!!!!!!!!!
A week trying to get my MW600 with my new Ultrabook Acer Aspire S3 and never did, until I came across this page – many thanks for the information you have shared – I’ve become very happy! Thanks a lot;)
I am trying to get it work with Lenovo Y500 Win XP. Any help?
hi, first of all, thank you, i got my mw600 to work on my compag vista. but can’t make it work on my macpro with bootcamp win7 home premium. any suggestions? tried everthing, resetting the headset, uninstalling, reinstalling, rebooting etc. help.
Hi,
Any one can post the Bluetooth drivers for HP laptop i am using window 7 32bit
Thanks Brother, I could connect my MW600 with my HP windows 7 laptop with your help.
I’ve tried the driver from Lenovo to pair MW600 with my (noname) desktop and it kind of works, but everything sounds jerkily.
The adapter I am using is an old PANBT0330. May it be that it’s just too slow for the headset? Which one would your recommend?
Check the drivers for the adapter as well. If any of the connection is not good you might face problems.
Thanks a lot for this tip. You mention above “Post installation of drivers you might face the problem where Windows 7 keeps saying could not install drivers for bluetooth headset. To overcome this problem have the device services setup like the screenshot below.” The screenshot or its link appears to be missing, any chance you can post it, even though the headset is working, Windows 7 has a “!” next to the headset icon informing that the controller is missing(?)
Try disabling the services that you see on your PC. The screenshot posted shows the services that are enabled on my system using bluetooth. If you have less number of services and it still shows less number then it might be that for some other service the drivers are not properly installed. so you remove the check box and try again. Your aim should be have no check box for the service that is not able to run because of the drivers issue.
Hi,
Gone thru all the above and proceeded with as like briefed, but for me it not able to connect still. My laptop is Sony Vaio-AMD-Model:SVE11115ENB, Kindly help me for this. I spoke to sony care which they not even know it can be paired with PCs, Laps, etc. Kindly post your advice for further proceed.
Thanks in advance & best regards,
dhanarasu
Make sure the headset is turned off.
Press and hold down on/off key until the pairing indication appears.
Simultaneously press and hold down On/Off key and call key until the headset turns off.
thats relay work in my asus brozos thanks ……………………..
I have this working fine on my HP Elite notebook Windos 7 x64 – except when I try to use it with Skype I get a “Bluetooth Stack COM Server has stopped working” message and it won’t work – anyone got it working with Skype?
Thanks. Been most helpful to have this.
Other problem installing the MW600 on Windows 7 64Bits: in the drivers of the MW600, the Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver missing, and cannot install with the Lenovo Drivers. So, I do the following:
1- go to device manager.
2- right click on “Bluetooth Peripheral Device” that you want.
3- select “Update Driver Software…”.
4- choose “Browse my computer for driver software”.
5- choose “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.
6- select “Ports (COM & LPT)”.
7- select “Microsoft” at “Manufacturer” list.
8- finally select “Standard Serial over Bluetooth link”
P.S. you may be asked to continue any way & you should do that!
hooray! problem solved

thanks once again…..
One question:
Anyone can display the tittle song in the MW600 when it’s connected to the PC? I tried with Windows Media Player (no title, yes working playback buttons: play, back and next song) and Winamp (not tittle and not working playback controls).
Regards,
rugal
Hi there, I have a MW1, someone on this thread said this solution worked for this device. When I first attempted to connect it said Bluetooth Peripheral Device No Driver Found. I installed the MW600 Driver ( am an running a T510 Windows 7 32bit machine) but I am not sure what to do next. I have attempted RugaL’s method but was unsuccessful. I am hoping someone might be able to give me a step by step procedure and possibly help me troubleshoot.
Thanks.
Hello folks, good to see this issue is already addressed for few devices.
I am trying to connect this with my DELL Latitude E6410 laptop, however m not able to connect it.
Have anybody idea abt this?
