Good day to you, visitors of my site. I often travel on foot around the city. This is not a very exciting activity, especially if you are a sociopath with introverted tendencies. Therefore, you need to understand how to connect headphones to your phone.
There are models that completely isolate you from the outside world. There are no sounds at all coming into my ears other than music. And the built-in headset allows you to maximize the quality of using your phone, because you don’t have to take out the handset and be distracted from doing everyday things.
Apple AirPods Pro has this effect. In addition, they are well protected from environmental influences.
There is an article on my blog about connecting Apple AirPods Pro, where the whole process is clearly described.
How to connect headphones to your phone
Now there is no difference between headphones for computers and smartphones. In addition, they can be equipped with a headset.
Devices are primarily classified by connection method: wired and wireless.
Wired ones are connected to the phone using a wire at the end of which there is a plug with a working part diameter of 3.5 mm. We will not dwell on a detailed analysis of connecting devices in this category. Everything here is transparent and understandable. Connect the two halves and you will be happy.
The Sony MDR-XB50AP Black uses such a plug.
Its design includes a microphone and speakers. The microphone is conveniently located on the wire, so it does not interfere when using the device to listen to music.
Wireless representatives necessarily combine a headset and a speaker. Connection to the phone is carried out using Bluetooth technology. But in this category everything is much more interesting.
The next division of headphones is the division according to the method of attachment. For wireless ones, fixation on one ear is usually used. Wired ones, in turn, are divided into droplets and vacuum models.
It is worth noting that the use of wired options in conjunction with a phone leads to an increase in the rate of battery drain. Most often, such models are used on computers, laptops and televisions. However, this is not the final verdict.
You can choose ones that won’t put a lot of strain on the battery. In most phone models, the headphone jack is located next to the charger connector. If for some reason your phone does not have a 3.5 mm jack, then the connection will be made via micro USB.
For this purpose, special adapters have been invented. On one side there is a mini jack connector, and on the other there is a micro USB plug.
Solving connection problems
If you encounter problems during the connection process, please refer to the recommendations posted on the Samsung support page.
- Make sure the headphones are charged. The charge level can be displayed in different colors by a special indicator. Check this information in the operating instructions. If there is no indicator, just connect the device directly to the mains for 20-30 minutes, as they will charge more slowly through a computer or laptop. Insert the Galaxy Buds correctly into the charging case sockets and connect to the charger.
- Check the Bluetooth connection. There should be no more than 10 meters between devices. If your headphones don't appear among your available devices, turn them off and on again to resume pairing. Return the Buds to the charging case, close it, and open it again. Restart the Bluetooth function on your Samsung smartphone.
- Check for software updates on your Samsung Smartphone. More details about this are written in a separate article on our website.

How to connect headphones to your phone using a wire
This method of connecting the device is the simplest. First of all, you need to pay attention to the body of your phone. Twist it and inspect all end surfaces.
In most cases, there will be a headphone jack near the charging port. But this will not be the case in all models. Sometimes it is placed on the opposite side.
Modern models offer two options for connecting devices to the phone:
- Micro USB. This method is very common for connecting various devices to the phone. These include a charger or data cable. Modern smartphones also require headphones to be connected to them.
- Mini jack has a size of 3.5 mm. It is the most popular at the moment. In this way you can connect not only headphones, but also stereo equipment.
To activate the operation of wired devices, simply connect the device and the phone. The latter will automatically detect the connection and begin transmitting sound to them.
How to connect headphones to your phone via bluetooth
For wireless devices the process will be a little more complicated.
Despite this, the sensations when using them cannot be compared with wired models. Freedom from shackles when playing sports will be given by Sony WI-XB400 Black.
The use of silicone inserts minimizes the possibility of unpleasant sensations.
Not only the main characters of the article can work using blue tooth wireless technology. If you have forgotten how to connect the DualShock 4 to your phone, then take a look at the corresponding post and refresh your memory.
Today, manufacturers determine for consumers the distance at which headphones will work without problems equal to 10 m. However, there are premium models from which you can move 100 m. In this case, the connection will not be broken.
The sequence of actions will be as follows:
- We activate the work with the earphone. Typically, the power button for wireless models is located on the body of one of the ears or on the case.
- After completing the first step in the phone settings, you need to find the Bluetooth section. In most models it is in the general list of settings.
- We tap on the Bluetooth link and move the slider to the active position.
- After this, a list of possible wireless devices for connecting will open on the phone screen.
- In this list we select JBL T460BT Blue. They provide their owners with freedom, as they can move 10 meters away from the phone. And the battery supports operation for 11 hours. If you don't like the blue color, then the line includes the JBL T460BT Black. If a different color is available, it retains all the benefits.
- Pairing is accompanied by the need to enter a security code. In most cases, if you did not touch anything in the settings, then there will be “0000”.
Check if your smartphone is malfunctioning
Not a single smartphone is immune from a bug in the operating system, although budget Chinese devices are prone to failures more often than more expensive and well-known models. Therefore, first of all, you should restart your smartphone and try to connect the headset to the phone again.
If the smartphone still does not see the audio device, then you can begin diagnostics; the sequence of actions will depend on the type of device - a wired or wireless device you are using.
What you need to pay attention to after connecting the headphones
Connecting to the phone is not the most important thing. After all, after the correct connection, it is necessary to configure the device correctly.
For example, Apple AirPods Pro requires some setup. Without it, the sound transmission process will not occur.
The first thing you need to check before making a purchase is whether the impedance of the headphones and the phone matches. It should be in the range of 16-32 ohms. Otherwise, the sound will be unclear.
It’s also a good idea to check the sound volume. There are times when, when connecting headphones to a smartphone, it turns out that even at maximum volume you can’t hear anything. However, this situation can be circumvented.
To do this, you need to check the volume level for a specific application in the settings. After all, Android makes it possible to set a level for each of them.
After this, we check the headphones by making a phone call. Ask someone to call you and talk. If the quality is at the proper level, it means that the headphones are ideal for your phone.
Can I just remove one Bluetooth device?
Now, if you have dozens of Bluetooth devices, I can understand why you wouldn't want to pair them all again. If this is your situation, then yes, you can go to the Settings app, tap Connections, then Bluetooth. From here, you'll see a settings gear/gear icon next to all your paired devices.
You can see if unplugging one device (and then pairing it again) solves the problem.
This is possible by clicking on the settings cog/gear icon next to the Bluetooth device you are having problems with. At the bottom there is an option to "unpair" with a trash can icon next to it. Removing the Bluetooth device from the Galaxy S21 this way may resolve the auto-pairing issue.
