How To Reset Your Bluetooth Headphones

Bluetooth headphones are headphones that connect wirelessly to your device via Bluetooth. They usually can be used for multiple devices but may perform better with a particular type of device.

Bluetooth headphones offer a wireless alternative to wired headphones for those who want the ability to move around freely while listening.  They also allow you not to worry about tangled wires and work well in noisy areas, like a gym or a bustling coffee shop.

Pairing your headphones with your device only requires the following steps:

1. Turn your headphone on
2. Go into settings
3. Go into Bluetooth and turn it on
4. Look for your headphone and connect! Your headphone’s instructions will likely include a step-by-step guide for pairing with devices, but if you’ve never paired one before this should do the trick.

If your headphones keep disconnecting from your device or if they do not appear to be working properly, try some of these troubleshooting tips:  Make sure the power is turned on for both your earphones and your device (if you can’t hear anything coming from them).   

1. Restart both devices.
2. Change the batteries in your earphones.
3. Update the firmware on both devices.
4. Try a different pair of headphones with your device.
5. If all else fails, contact the manufacturer for support.

Bluetooth headphones come in several different types:  earbuds (they sit inside your ear canal), on-ears (they cover your ears like over-the-ear headphones without resting on top of them).

Over-the-ears (larger than on-ears and cover the entire ear) or in-ear monitors (smaller than earbuds but they rest inside the ear canal instead of sitting around it).  

True wireless means that each bud sits in its small housing and is not connected by a wire.

Earbuds with a headband/hook have a band that goes around the back of your head and the earbuds hang from it, similar to how headphones work. There is usually a wire connecting the two buds.

Several types of ear tips come with earphones and you will likely have to try a few different ones before finding the perfect fit.

If the ear tips that come with your earphones do not fit, try purchasing some new ones from the manufacturer or a third-party seller.

This depends on the type of headphones you have. Headphones with larger batteries will usually last longer.

If your earphones won’t charge it likely means that the charging pins are dirty or corroded and they need to be cleaned or replaced.
