How to pair Earbuds with Smartphone?

Today, we will explain how you can pair a wireless earphone with your smartphone and what to do if it does not connect. More and more people are choosing comfortable wireless headphones over traditional wired ones.

You can connect such headphones to a smartphone via the Bluetooth protocol: even the simplest phones now have a corresponding module.

General rules to remember:

You must enable the corresponding module responsible for the wireless connection (Bluetooth, NFC) on the smartphone.
Headphones may need to activate pairing mode.
It is desirable that the devices are in the line of sight at a distance of no more than 10 m.

How to connect headphones via Bluetooth:

The procedure is pretty straightforward. It requires only a one-time setup; later on, the buds will connect with the phone through Bluetooth whenever in the signal range. So to connect wireless Earbuds with your phone, follow the steps below:

Turn on the headphones and Bluetooth on your smartphone.
Open the phone menu, go to the Bluetooth tab and touch it.
There will be a device list within the Bluetooth range. Find the name of the model of your headphones in this list: most often, the manufacturer gives its gadgets this name.
Touch the device name – the phone will start establishing a connection with the selected device. Then, there will be a notification to put a pairing passcode.
The most famous factory password is 0000. Nevertheless, the manufacturer of the headphones may provide another: in this case, find it in the owner’s manual.
On putting the proper passcode, the devices will connect via Bluetooth. If the headphones have an indicator light, they will light up or start flashing.

Most of the earphones come within a case. Sometimes the cases mention a particular location to place your phone. In this case, get the buds out of the case and follow the procedure again.

Despite the simple connection algorithm, users occasionally encounter problems when connecting the phone and wireless headphones. However, the reasons are usually trivial: we have compiled a list of the most popular.
Headphones are off or not in pairing mode. It is banal but true: many forget to turn on the “Earbuds,” and the smartphone, of course, cannot find them among the available devices. It often happens with simple models without light indication.
The headphones are out of pairing mode. As a rule, the connection mode works only for a specific time: for example, 30 s. If you have been messing around with your smartphone for too long and it is time out, chances are you will not be able to find the device on the list. So instead, pay attention to the indicator light and understand if the pairing mode is activated.
The distance between the devices is too great. For a reliable connection, two gadgets must be at a distance of up to 10 meters in the line of sight.
