How to Pair Wireless Earbuds Together
As wireless earbuds have become more common, there have been some questions about how to pair them together. In most cases, you’ll be using two earbuds from the same manufacturer. However, it’s possible that you might want to use a single earbud with multiple devices. If so, this guide should help you understand how to pair wireless earbuds together.
Pairing Wireless Earbuds Together: Apple Airpods
Apple has made it easy for users who want to pair their AirPods together. You can do this by following these steps:
Make sure your AirPods are fully charged and turned on Tap the lid of one AirPod and hold down until you hear a voice prompt saying “Put on your headphones” The other AirPod will automatically connect when you put it in your ear If they don’t automatically connect, tap the lid of each AirPod once again until they both vibrate and play an audio signal You can now use both AirPods to play music, make calls and more.
Pairing Wireless Earbuds Together: Other Brands of Wireless Earbuds
If you’re using wireless earbuds from a manufacturer other than Apple, it’s possible that you might have to go through a slightly different process in order to pair them together. However, the general idea is the same: each earbud will be paired with the device that it was first connected to. In this case, we’ll use Samsung’s Galaxy Buds.
Make sure your Galaxy buds are fully charged and turned on Tap the lid of one Galaxy Buds and hold down until you hear a voice prompt saying “Put on your headphones” The other Galaxy Buds will automatically connect when you put it in your ear If they don’t automatically connect, tap the lid of each Galaxy Bud once again until they both vibrate and play an audio signal You can now use both Galaxy Buds to play music, make calls and more.
Charge Your Devices Up Fully
Before you can pair your wireless earbuds together, you’ll need to make sure that both of your devices are fully charged. If one of your devices is low on battery power, it might not be able to connect to the other device. Having low battery power can also cause your devices to lose connection with each other.
If your device is new, it might take a while for it to charge up fully. If you’re using an older device, you might need to charge it up for a few hours before it’s ready to go.
Place The Earbuds Near Each Other
Once your devices are fully charged, you’ll need to place them near each other. You can do this by placing them in the same room or on the same table. If you have a large house, you might want to place your devices in different rooms.
If you’re using wireless earbuds, you’ll need to make sure that they’re in the same room. You can do this by placing them in your ears. If you have a Bluetooth headset, you might want to put it on your head.
Activate The Pairing Mode
Once your devices are near each other, you’ll need to activate the pairing mode. To do this, press and hold down the power button on one of your devices for about 5 seconds. This will cause a light on one of your devices to turn blue or red. If both of your devices have lights that turn blue or red when activated, then they won’t be able to pair together properly. In this case, try activating only one device at a time until the pairing mode is activated correctly on both of them.
Pair Your Wireless Earbuds Together
Once both of your devices are in the pairing mode, you’ll need to pair them together. To do this, open the Bluetooth settings on your device. If you’re using a smartphone, you can find these settings in the Settings app. If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, you can find these settings in the Control Panel.
Once your devices are paired together, they should be connected to each other automatically. You should see one device listed as “Connected” and the other device listed as “Paired but Not Connected”. If both of your devices are listed as “Connected” then they won’t be able to pair together properly. In this case, try turning off Bluetooth on one of your devices and then trying again until both of your devices are listed as “Paired but Not Connected”.
Make Sure Bluetooth Is On
If both of your devices are listed as “Connected” then you’ll need to make sure that Bluetooth is turned on. To do this, make sure that the Bluetooth icon is showing up in your notification bar or taskbar. If it isn’t showing up then you might need to turn Bluetooth on manually.
You can turn Bluetooth on by opening the Settings app on your device and tapping “Bluetooth” under “Wireless & Networks”. If you don’t see a “Bluetooth” option then you might not have any devices connected via Bluetooth. In this case, try turning off Bluetooth and then trying again until the option appears in your settings menu.
Pair The Wireless Earbuds
Once both of your devices are listed as “Paired but Not Connected”, you should be able to pair them together automatically. To do this, tap one of your devices under “My Devices” and wait for it to connect. Once it connects, you’ll see a check mark next to the device.
Check To See If Your Wireless Earbuds Paired Together
After your devices are paired together, you should be able to use them as normal. They should connect automatically when they’re turned on and in range of each other. If one of your devices is out of range or turned off then the other device will still work normally. For example, if you pair your wireless earbuds together and place them in your ears, then only one of them will be connected to your phone at a time. You can switch between which earbud is connected by simply tapping it or taking it out of your ear for a few seconds.
Check For Updates
If both of your devices are working properly but not connecting to each other, then you might need to update their firmware. This usually happens when new updates become available for either device. If this happens, you’ll need to check for updates on both of your devices and download the new firmware.
You can check for updates by opening the Settings app and tapping “System Updates” under “System”. If you don’t see a “System Updates” option then you might not have any updates available. In this case, try checking again until an update is available. Once there are updates available, tap one of them to download it. This will take a few minutes so make sure that your device has enough battery power before downloading the update.
Reset Your Wireless Earbuds
If updating your firmware doesn’t work, then you might need to reset your wireless earbuds or Bluetooth headset. To do this, turn off both of your devices and unplug them from their chargers or computers if they were connected via USB cable. After they have been turned off for at least 10 seconds, plug them back in and turn them on.
If you’re using wireless earbuds, you can also reset them by removing the battery from one of your devices for a few seconds. After it has been removed, put the battery back into the device and turn it on.
Turn Off Your Wireless Earbuds
After you have paired your wireless earbuds together, you should be able to use them as normal. They should connect automatically when they’re turned on and in range of each other. If one of your devices is out of range or turned off then the other device will still work normally. For example, if you pair your wireless earbuds together and place them in your ears, then only one of them will be connected to your phone at a time. You can switch between which earbud is connected by simply tapping it or taking it out of your ear for a few seconds.
If you’re having trouble pairing your wireless earbuds together, then try charging them up fully and placing them near each other. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and activate the pairing mode on both of your devices. Once they’re in the pairing mode, you should be able to pair them together automatically. If this doesn’t work, then try updating your firmware or resetting your devices.
If you’re still having trouble pairing your wireless earbuds or Bluetooth headset, then you might need to reset them completely. You can do this by turning off both of your devices and unplugging them from their chargers or computers if they were connected via USB cable. After they have been turned off for at least 10 seconds, plug them back in and turn them on again. If you’re using wireless earbuds, you can also reset them by removing the battery from one of your devices for a few seconds. After it has been removed, put the battery back into the device and turn it on again.
After you have paired your wireless earbuds together, make sure that they stay connected to each other properly. To do this, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and check to see if there are any updates available for either device. If there are new updates available then download them onto both of your devices before trying to pair them together again. If they’re still having trouble connecting, then you might need to reset them completely.
