Bluetooth headphones apply Bluetooth technology to hands-free headsets, allowing users to free themselves from the annoying constraints of wires and easily make calls in various ways. Since the advent of Bluetooth headphones, they have been a great tool for mobile business people to enhance efficiency. When exercising, doing housework, working, or studying, Bluetooth headphones can free your hands, allowing you to listen to music and make calls freely. Many people do not know how to connect Bluetooth headphones when using them for the first time. So how do you connect Bluetooth headphones to your phone? Let’s take a look.
How to Connect Bluetooth Headphones to Your Phone
First-Time Connection of Bluetooth Headphones to Phone
1. How to use Bluetooth headphones? For first-time use, try to charge the headphones for about 2-4 hours; after that, 2 hours is sufficient. The manual also states this, and it is best not to exceed 4 hours. Some forums claim that you must charge for 24 hours, which is unfounded. Charging a small headphone for 24 hours is a bit exaggerated.
2. Click on the Bluetooth settings in your phone’s settings and select “Turn On” to complete this step. This enables the Bluetooth support function on your phone.
3. With the Bluetooth headphones turned off, press and hold the multifunction button (MFB) on the headphones for more than 3 seconds until the indicator blue light on the headphones lights up (1. Note that it should be a steady light; during the pairing process, it should remain steady, not flashing or off. 2. Some devices flash red and blue alternately). At this point, the Bluetooth headphones are in a discoverable state.
4. Open the Bluetooth option on your phone to search. Once successfully searched, the name and model of the Bluetooth headphones will appear on the list; click to confirm.
5. Enter the password on your phone (usually 0000). Some devices do not have a password; the indicator light on the headphones will flash quickly, indicating a successful pairing.
6. Click on the Bluetooth headphone name: MOTOROLA HS850, turn it on, and select to bind. Once completed, the phone will be connected to the Bluetooth headphones. At this point, the phone may have a sound similar to a USB connection “ding” notification. When turning off the Bluetooth headphones, there may also be a similar notification sound, which can indicate whether the Bluetooth headphones are properly connected to the phone.
Methods for Connecting Bluetooth Headphones to a Phone
Open the Bluetooth program on your phone, select — Pairing Devices — Options — New Pairing Device — Confirm. At the same time, press and hold the power button on the headphones for 5 seconds (with the headphones turned off). The headphones will enter pairing mode. If the phone finds the headphones (if the code is: 0000), connect the headphones and set them as an authorized device.
First, when you receive the Bluetooth headphones, turn them on. Generally, Bluetooth headphones have a power button and a MODE button. The N3 model does not have a power button; it is turned on by long-pressing the MODE button. This is not the main point; the main point is that all Bluetooth headphones will have a blinking indicator light when turned on. A blue light indicates normal operation. At this point, you must long-press the MODE button until the indicator light remains blue, meaning it is not blinking but is steady. Only then are the Bluetooth headphones in a searchable state, allowing you to find them.
After setting the Bluetooth headphones to a discoverable state, open the Bluetooth on your phone, and follow the normal Bluetooth transmission method, “Search for More Devices”. After a while, a device labeled “Bluetooth Headphone Model” will appear, such as N3, which will show up as a device called N3. The next step is simple; select this device to connect, and a box will pop up asking for the password, which should be in your Bluetooth headphone’s manual.
After entering the password, a box will pop up, generally asking you to confirm whether you want to connect to this Bluetooth headphone without searching in the future; select yes.
Open the Bluetooth program on your phone, select — Pairing Devices — Options — New Pairing Device — Confirm. At the same time, press and hold the power button on the headphones for 5 seconds (with the headphones turned off). The headphones will enter pairing mode. If the phone finds the headphones (if the code is: 0000), connect the headphones and set them as an authorized device.
Method for Connecting Two Devices with Bluetooth Headphones
Step 1: First, pair the first Samsung phone with the Bluetooth headphones.
1. With the Bluetooth headphones turned off, press and hold the smart power button for about 10 seconds (or directly switch the ON/OFF button to ON), until the indicator lights show alternating red and blue, entering the discoverable state.
2. Turn on the Bluetooth function on Phone 1, search for Bluetooth devices, find the name of the Bluetooth headphones, and complete the pairing connection.
Step 2: Then pair the Apple phone with the Bluetooth headphones.
1. Long press the smart power button on the headphones until the indicator light goes off to turn off the Bluetooth headphones, and turn off the Bluetooth on the Samsung phone.
2. Turn on the Bluetooth headphones again until they enter the discoverable state (red and blue lights flashing).
3. Turn on the Bluetooth function on the Apple phone, search for Bluetooth devices, find the name of the Bluetooth headphones, and complete the pairing connection.
Step 3: Finally, connect the first phone to the Bluetooth headphones.
1. Turn on the Bluetooth function on the Samsung phone and find the previously connected “Q8”, click to connect, and you will complete the smart dual connection.
How to Connect Bluetooth Headphones to a Computer
Preparation Before Connecting Bluetooth Headphones to a Computer
1. A laptop or desktop computer with Bluetooth functionality; these computer devices have built-in Bluetooth modules, which generally update driver devices during system installation. Computers with Bluetooth functionality usually have their Bluetooth drivers updated. If not, we can also download the corresponding driver model online for installation.
2. If the driver installation is normal, we also need to turn on the Bluetooth function on the computer and pair it with the Bluetooth headphones. Some Bluetooth headphones require a pairing password, but iPhone pairing does not require a password. The default password for most Bluetooth headphones is “0000”, but not every brand has the same password; you can find the password in the manual.
3. If the computer does not have Bluetooth functionality, you need to use an external Bluetooth adapter or install a Bluetooth module in the computer. Some computers have additional slots for installing modules on the motherboard, but this is not a convenient method. Using a Bluetooth adapter is simple and economical because it is relatively cheap. When purchasing a Bluetooth adapter, it usually comes with a driver disc or download link; we also need to install the driver correctly to use it.
Method for Connecting Bluetooth Headphones to a Computer
First, plug the Bluetooth adapter into the computer; it can be plugged into either the front or back USB ports, but for stability, it is best to use the back USB port.
Then, install the driver software for the Bluetooth adapter. Generally, when purchasing Bluetooth headphones, the driver software is included, or if your system is Windows 7, you may not need to install the driver software. The installation method will not be detailed here.
Now let’s start connecting. Ensure that both the Bluetooth headphones and the adapter’s indicator lights are on.
Start searching for Bluetooth devices, noting your Bluetooth model. After finding the device and adding it, you will need to enter the matching password, which will be specified in the purchase instructions. Once matched, you may see that the Bluetooth headphones are not connected in the Bluetooth window. Double-click the wireless headphones icon and enter the matching password again to connect successfully.
Please note that the effective range of Bluetooth headphones is limited. Follow the instructions provided and do not move too far from the adapter; otherwise, Bluetooth will not function.
