How to connect your wireless headphones to your phone

Keep reading because we'll tell you how to connect your wireless headphones to your phone and some tricks and shortcuts that will come in handy.

Connect Bluetooth to your wireless headphones

Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to connect your headphones to your mobile phone, whether they're over-ear or in-ear. The first thing you need to do when turning on your headphones is select the pairing mode. Each model has its own characteristics, so we recommend reading the user manual to better understand your audio device and how to activate it. Most models do this easily by holding down the power button for a few seconds. And if it's your first time using them, pairing mode will usually activate automatically. But always check the user manual for details.

The next step is to connect and locate your wireless headphones on your smartphone. This is done from your phone's settings, under Bluetooth. Important: Always remember to activate Bluetooth mode on your smartphone, as it's often disabled by default to save battery life. Once you're in this section of the settings, simply go to the connected devices section and tap on the search for new devices section. If you've previously connected other headphones, they'll appear by default. However, if you're connecting your headphones for the first time, your phone will need to locate them first via Bluetooth.

Once you've done this, the name of your new wireless headphones will appear in the list of devices. Just tap on it and pair the wireless headphones with your smartphone. If your phone is iOS, you will likely be asked for the code included in your headphone ID in this last step.

Tips for connecting your headphones to an Android phone

If you're using an Android phone, you should know that there are a few tricks and shortcuts to connect Bluetooth headphones more quickly, without having to navigate through your phone's menus. For example, if you slide down the toolbar at the top of the screen and hold down the Bluetooth icon for a few seconds, you'll be taken directly to the Bluetooth settings section. Time-saver!

You can also use voice commands. Press and hold the center circle at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds, and you'll see the voice assistant open directly. Say 'pair Bluetooth headset' and it will also take you directly to the Bluetooth settings section. It's that simple!
