However, we still receive many questions about Bluetooth headphones. Today, we have compiled 9 common tips that we hope will help you solve usage issues, making your experience with Bluetooth headphones smoother and more worry-free.

1. Enable both “Call Audio” and “Media Audio” switches

In your phone’s Bluetooth device settings, find the paired Bluetooth headphones and check if the options for “Call Audio” and “Media Audio” are enabled.

By enabling these two options, you can not only listen to music and watch videos with the headphones but also directly answer calls or voice chats without switching back and forth.

2. Disable the “Auto Play” feature

Many people encounter this issue: the Bluetooth headphones start playing music or audio content as soon as they connect to the phone. This is actually simple; go to the app that is playing music and modify the settings there:

For example, in NetEase Cloud Music, find Settings, then locate the option “Allow Bluetooth devices to wake up NetEase Cloud Music” and turn it off.

If the Bluetooth headphones cannot connect to the phone, or there is no sound after connecting, try restoring factory settings or resetting the headphones.

A common method is to press the Bluetooth headphones 5 times continuously (specifics may vary by brand, so it is recommended to check the manual to avoid misoperation). After resetting, re-pairing can resolve many minor issues.

4. Power on/off issues with Bluetooth headphones

Most true wireless Bluetooth headphones (TWS) have a fixed logic:

  • Place back in the charging case and close the lid → Automatically power off

  • Take out from the charging case (and the headphones have power) → Automatically power on and pair

Understanding this, you will know that when not in use, the headphones should be placed back in the charging case to reduce battery consumption caused by prolonged standby.

The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature can provide a quieter experience in environments like subways and airplanes, but it consumes more power than normal mode! It is recommended to switch to normal mode in quiet environments (like offices or at home) to extend battery life.

6. Make good use of the “Wearing Detection” feature

Many headphones have a Wearing Detection feature: when you take off the headphones, music or video will automatically pause, and when you put them back on, playback resumes. However, sometimes this feature may fail due to headphone battery level, sensor dirt or damage, or firmware needing an update, which requires troubleshooting.

Lithium batteries accelerate aging when kept at high charge levels for extended periods. If the headphones support charging protection or an 80% charging threshold, it is recommended to enable it; if not, unplug the charging cable when it reaches around 80% to extend battery life.

8. Don’t pair with too many devices

Some Bluetooth headphones support multi-device switching, but binding too many devices at once may increase the likelihood of connection confusion. It is recommended to pair the headphones with only 1-2 commonly used devices (like a phone and a computer) to reduce unnecessary pairing records.

9. How to clean the headphones and charging case?

Use a clean cotton swab or soft brush to clean the earbud filter and charging contacts. Note, do not soak the headphones directly in liquid containing alcohol to avoid damaging the waterproof layer! Be especially careful with the metal contacts when cleaning the inside of the charging case, and be gentle.
