Turn on the Bluetooth headphones. Wireless headphones or earbuds, such as AirPods, will have Bluetooth capabilities. Some may come with a Bluetooth dongle, which may connect to your device. In most cases, you'll just need your Bluetooth headphones and your iPhone or iPad.- Make sure your Bluetooth device is fully charged and turned on before attempting to pair. Depending on the accessory, you may have to press a button or activate a switch to power it on.
Put the headphones into pairing mode. The headphones must be in pairing mode so that your iPhone or iPad can detect it. Some accessories automatically go into pairing mode when turned on, while others require you to press a button or select an option from a menu.- Similar to a Bluetooth speaker, an LED light should indicate whether or not your headphones are ready to be paired.

Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat is meant by selecting the headphones?
Community AnswerOpen your "Settings" and scroll down to "Bluetooth." First, make sure Bluetooth is turned on. If the headphones have a "discoverable" mode, make sure that is turned on as well. Under the Bluetooth on/off switch is a list of devices; the headphones should show up in this list and will have a message that says "Not Connected." Tap on the "Not Connected" message in the white bar with the name of the headphones in it, and it should start to sync. A message will appear to notify you if the sync was successful or not. (Sometimes it takes a while.) Make sure to keep the headphones near the phone while doing this. - QuestionI can hear out of one earbud but not the other one. What is wrong?
Genesis FrazierCommunity AnswerEither, your earbuds are broken, or maybe they aren't connected to Bluetooth. It's also possible that you are too far from your phone. - QuestionDo these steps go the same with syncing wireless ear buds?
PlayercircuitCommunity AnswerYes, the steps should be just the same with any sort of Bluetooth device.
