Connecting a Bluetooth headset to Apple iPhone

If you often speak on the phone or own a car, motorcycle, bicycle, or maybe some other vehicle, then you just need to know how to connect a headset to an iPhone using Bluetooth wireless technology. The wireless headset is attached to the ear and is useful in that it frees the hands of the user who is talking on the phone. From the outside, a person who speaks “to himself” looks a little strange, but at the same time it is convenient.

How to connect a Bluetooth headset to an iPhone The owner of any iPhone (2G, 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4S, 5) has the ability to connect a wireless headset to his iPhone, any model is equipped with a Bluetooth interface, through which the headset connects to the phone “over the air” There are a lot of models of wireless headsets for the iPhone, there are also music headsets with support for the A2DP protocol, but all headsets are connected to the iPhone in about the same way.

We used a Plantronics Voyager PRO headset in conjunction with an iPhone 4S to prepare this manual. The first part of the tutorial will help you connect your headset to your iPhone. Well, then already on operation.

The first thing that needs to be done is to put our headset into the detection mode, for this we press the power button on the headset until the indicator blinks blue and red alternately (perhaps in other models this mode is activated a little differently). As soon as the indicator starts blinking in different colors, it means the iPhone headset is ready to connect.

Now you need to launch Settings in iPhone, select Bluetooth and turn it on. As soon as you turn on Bluetooth, devices are automatically detected, in other words, the phone should find your headset. Apple iPhone found the headset, now click on it to connect. If the default headset password is 0000, the iPhone will automatically reconnect the headset without prompting for a password. If the default headset password is different, the phone will ask you to enter it. For the standard password for your headset, see the instructions.

As soon as in the Devices section, Bluetooth settings, next to the name of your headset appears the inscription “Connected”, then everything is fine, you can start using.

In addition, the headset icon should appear in the Status Bar located at the top of the iPhone display, it is also a charge indicator of the wireless headset, if you look closely, you can see this very strip of charge.

How to use a wireless headset for iPhone After the iPhone has detected the headset and connected it via Bluetooth, you can use the “ear”. To check the functionality, ask to be called and during an incoming call press the answer button on the headset. If the voice of the incoming subscriber is heard in the headset speaker, and the caller hears you using the microphone built into the headset, then everything is in order. The answer button on the headset is also used to end the conversation, press it at the end of the conversation and the phone hangs up. This is the easiest and most convenient way to answer a call, the iPhone can be in your at this time and you don’t even have to take it out.

But there is another way to work with the headset, it can be useful for those who have a broken answer button on the headset or for those who always look at the iPhone display before answering.

The second method of answering and talking with the help of a connected headset requires a little more steps, but if you read the instructions to the end, you will understand how to reduce these steps to a minimum.

During an incoming call (the headset must be connected), to answer, drag the angry button with the arrow to the right. 2. Press the button “Sound source”, with the image of the speaker and the bluetooth icon 3. And choose our headset, we choose Voyager PRO, well, you are yours

After completing these steps, the sound is redirected from the phone to the headset, and we speak through our “wireless ear”.

The second way of answering can be shortened by applying some settings in the iPhone: Settings. General. Accessibility. Incoming calls. select Headset. After applying such a setting, the iPhone will automatically redirect the sound to the headset at the moment of answering from the phone (item 1), and there is no need for items 2 and 3 at all.

If a Bluetooth headset using this setting is disconnected from the iPhone, then at the moment of answering an incoming call, the phone will work normally, which is very convenient.

Thanks to Dina for preparing the material! We hope now anyone can connect a wireless headset to their iPhone.

Connecting Xiaomi Wireless Headphones to iPhone

The Chinese brand Xiaomi has become well known all over the world for its quality and affordable smartphones. In addition to this, no less high-quality accessories are now produced under this brand. smart watches, fitness bracelets, wired and wireless headphones.

Wireless earplugs from “Xiaomi” are very popular. They are stylish, fairly simple and reliable devices to use. Any of the models, be it Redmi AirDots, AirDots Pro, AirDots Pro 2, etc., can be a worthy replacement for more expensive headphones of this type. For example, the functionality of the Xiaomi Pro is comparable to that of the Apple Airpods.

The Pros boast attractive design, great sound, long battery life and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The value of ANC lies in the fact that the surrounding noise becomes inaudible, and the user can completely immerse themselves in the world of music or focus their attention on telephone conversations. Another huge advantage of the inexpensive AirDots Pro headphones over Airpods is the IPX4 waterproof rating and advanced touch controls. Taking into account the affordable price and impressive technical characteristics, many owners of iPhones instead of Airpods choose Airdots for themselves.

In order for the connection of a Xiaomi headset to an iPhone to be successful, you need to know that it supports a Bluetooth version of at least 4.2. That is, the pairing will be possible with the models of iPhones and iPads that were released in 2014-2015. Use at least iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and up, and iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4 and newer tablets. If you have an iPhone 5s, then the “ears” from “Xiaomi” do not fit it.

Pairing Xiaomi AirDots with an Apple Phone or Tablet

Charge the batteries of these devices before pairing TWS headphones and Apple smartphone. Working Bluetooth modules, especially in search and pairing mode, require extra power. It is enough to put “dots” in a case for this, and put the iPhone on a wired or wireless charger. You do not have to strive for the battery indicator to show 100%, half of the maximum level is enough for connection. Pairing AirDots with an Apple phone is almost as easy as connecting Airpods to an iPhone, although the process has its own quirks. To make everything work out the first time, follow the step-by-step steps that are described in the instructions.

Take the earbuds out of the charging case. They will turn on automatically.

Before pairing with iPhone, AirDots must first establish a connection with each other. Therefore, turn off the headphones by pressing the touch or physical button (depending on the model) on each of the “dots”. When turning off, do not release the buttons for 3 seconds.

Turn AirDots back on. Press and hold the buttons at the same time for about 30 seconds. The LED indicators should flash first red, then white. Wait for two series of such signals to pass. This will mean that both earbuds are in pairing mode. You need to put them back in the charging case for about 5 seconds, then take them out to connect them directly to the iPhone.

At this stage, you need a phone. Since AirDots are already prepared for pairing, open Settings on your iPhone, then Bluetooth and activate the wireless module. The smartphone starts searching for devices. Compatibility is the most decisive factor for successful detection, but we have already indicated above which models of Apple smartphones Xiaomi headphones work with. The line “Mi AirDots BASIC_R” or “Mi AirDots BASIC_L” will appear in the list of detected devices. Select her.

Perhaps such an entry will not be found in the list. Then the headphones need to be placed closer to the phone and the list of devices should be updated. In a pair of AirDots, the right earbud is the main one, so the new item in the list will be “Mi AirDots BASIC_R” (in fact, the name of the device may be different, not the same as in this example, it all depends on the headphone model). Click on it to start the connection. The indicator on the earbud will flash white while pairing is being established. Sometimes you need to enter a code to confirm the connection. Enter 0000.

When the process is complete, the indicator will turn white again and turn off. You can now use your headphones. Check the quality and, if necessary, adjust the sound settings.

After you manually connect the dots to your smartphone for the first time, they will automatically connect to it every time you take them out of the case. If you have problems with pairing, you will need to remove Mi AirDots BASIC_R from the list: click on the name, and then select “Forget this device” and repeat the steps described in the instructions.

By the way, “Airdots” are connected not only in stereo, but also in mono mode, when only one earphone from a pair will be paired with the phone. This method of connection can be convenient in cases where complete isolation from ambient noise is not required. For example, on a busy street for greater safety, it is better to hear what is happening around. Another way of using AirDots significantly increases the battery life of the headphones: while one of them is in operation, the second is charged in the case, then the plugs are swapped. To pair only one of the two headphones, take out only the left Airdots from the charging case. Let the right one remain in the case.

Situations when the pairing between the headphones and the iPhone, as well as between the right and left “dots”, disappears from time to time. Then you have to do a reset and pair it again, in the order as recommended in the detailed instructions given above.

In general, the compact budget earplugs “Xiaomi” or “Redmi” are a good choice for those who want to take advantage of modern wireless technology in their daily life, but do not yet decide to buy Apple Airpods of the first or second generation or more expensive Airpods Pro.
