How to Connect Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds to Phone - Tutorial 2020
What you need before pairing
Proper preparation is important for successful device pairing.
Check Bluetooth capabilities
Make sure both your phone and headphones support Bluetooth technology. Modern devices usually use Bluetooth 5.0 or higher, which ensures fast pairing and a stable connection [7] .
You can find your phone's Bluetooth function: on Android devices - "Settings" > "Bluetooth", and on iPhones - "Settings" > "Bluetooth" [2] [3] . If you are using wireless headphones offered by AUTOGARSAS.LT, this requirement is already met - all the necessary information is provided in the product description or user manual.
Charge your devices
Before you begin, make sure that both devices have at least 50% battery power. Low battery levels can cause pairing or performance issues [2] [3] .
You can monitor the battery level via the device's status bar or LED indicators. Once paired, many headphones allow you to see the battery status directly on your phone via the Bluetooth menu or dedicated apps. For example, the battery level of Apple AirPods is automatically displayed on your phone when you open the case next to the device [5] .
Update the software
Updating your device software helps prevent potential connection issues and ensures smooth operation [7] . You can check for system and headset updates in Settings (Android) or Settings (iPhone) [2] [3] .
If your headphones have a dedicated app, use it to update. For example, Sony headphones can be updated via Sony Headphones Connect, while Apple AirPods update automatically when connected to an iPhone [2] [3] .
How to enable pairing mode
Pairing mode allows your phone to detect your headphones and establish a secure connection. If this mode is not enabled, your headphones will not be visible in the list of Bluetooth devices [2] [3] .
Most headphones enter pairing mode by holding down the power or Bluetooth button until the LED indicator starts blinking [2] [3] .
For example, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones require a 7-second button press until the indicator starts flashing blue and you hear the message "Pairing" [1] [3] . This mode is valid for 5 minutes - if the pairing fails, the procedure will need to be repeated [1] [3] .
Apple AirPods pair automatically when you open the case next to your phone. If you're using another device, press and hold the button on the case until the indicator light starts flashing white [4] [5] [6] [9] .
Some Sony models support Android Fast Pair, which allows you to pair your headphones with compatible devices more quickly. [3] [4] The headphones can also store pairing information for up to 8 devices - the oldest pairing will be automatically deleted when you pair a ninth device. [1] [3]
Once you're ready and your devices are ready, you can activate pairing mode. Below, we'll discuss how to conveniently pair your headphones with your phone.
How to connect wireless headphones step by step
Connecting wireless headphones to your phone is pretty easy and only takes a few minutes. The process is very similar on both Android and iOS devices.
Turn on Bluetooth on your phone.
Start by turning on the Bluetooth feature. You can do this in the following ways:
- On Android devices : Open the quick settings menu or go to Settings > Bluetooth.
- On iPhone : Open Settings > Bluetooth or use Control Center.
In the Lithuanian menu, the names remain the same: "Bluetooth" and "Paired devices".
Put the headphones into pairing mode
Each headphone model has its own way of activating pairing mode. Here's how to do it with popular models:
- Apple AirPods : Open the charging case next to your iPhone and follow the onscreen instructions. If you're using another device, press and hold the button on the back of the case until the LED indicator starts flashing white.
- Sony WH-1000XM5 : With the headphones off, press and hold the power button for about 7 seconds until the indicator starts flashing blue and red.
- Other models : Most headphones enter pairing mode by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button for a few seconds until the indicator starts flashing rapidly.
Once the headphones are ready, proceed to search for them on your phone.
Find and choose your headphones
When Bluetooth is turned on and the headphones are in pairing mode, their name (for example, Sony WH-1000XM5 or AirPods) should appear in the "Available devices" list. Select the name of the headphones to begin the pairing process. You may receive a message on the screen ("Connected") or a beep from the headphones when they are successfully paired.
Test the sound and adjust the settings
Once pairing is complete, check that the sound is working properly. Play music or other audio and adjust the settings if necessary:
- On Android devices : Go to Settings > Sound and adjust the audio output.
- On iOS devices : Go to Settings > Bluetooth, click the information icon next to your headphones' name, and adjust your call or media audio settings.
Most wireless headphones remember the last device they were used with, so they will connect automatically the next time you turn on Bluetooth. You only need to go through this pairing process the first time with each new device.

Solving common login problems
About 30% of users experience at least one login issue within the first year of use [7] . The good news? You can fix many of these issues yourself. Here are some practical tips to help you overcome the most common issues.
Headphones don't appear in the Bluetooth list
This is one of the most common issues - the headphones don't appear in the list of available devices. This can happen if the headphones are not in pairing mode, the battery is low, or they are already connected to another device.
- First, make sure your headphones are sufficiently charged. A low battery level may interfere with pairing.
- Restart both the headphones and the device you are trying to connect them to.
- If the problem persists, disconnect the headphones from other Bluetooth devices to eliminate possible interference.
- In some cases, you may need to reset your headphones to factory settings. On most models, this is done by holding down the power or dedicated reset button for 5–10 seconds until the LED indicator starts blinking or changes color [2] [3] .
The sound cuts out or sounds bad.
If the audio is interrupted or sounds poor, the cause may be wireless interference, too much distance between devices, or outdated software. Interestingly, software updates help solve up to 60% of such problems [7] .
- Reduce the distance between the headphones and your phone. While Bluetooth typically has a range of up to 10 meters, walls and other obstacles can reduce this range.
- Check for obstacles between the devices and avoid sources of interference.
- Update your headphones' software. For example, Sony WH-1000XM5 users can use the Sony Headphones Connect app, which supports Lithuanian. Meanwhile, Apple AirPods updates are installed automatically when the headphones are in the case and connected to an iPhone.
- If the problem persists, disconnect the headphones and try pairing them again.
Microphone or call audio issues
The microphone or sound quality during calls can be disappointing, especially in noisy environments. Even models like the Apple AirPods can face these challenges.
- Make sure that the headphones are selected for both media and call audio in your phone's Bluetooth settings. On Android devices, you can find this in Settings > Bluetooth, or on iOS devices, by tapping the information icon next to the headphones' name.
- Check that microphone permissions are enabled for the apps you're using. If you're having problems, try your headphones with another app or device.
- Also, inspect the microphone holes to make sure they are not clogged with dust or dirt.
| Problem type | Most common causes | Recommended solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Doesn't appear in the Bluetooth list | Unpaired mode, low battery, interference | Enter pairing mode, charge, restart, reset |
| Sound cuts out/sounds bad | Interference, too far away, outdated software | Approach, update software, re-pair |
| Microphone/call issues | Incorrect settings, lack of permissions, application conflicts | Check settings, enable permissions, update software |
