The main convenience that you get when using a wireless headset is that it allows you to free your hands while driving, working, or walking - and still stay connected. I use the headset all the time.

The question of how to set up a Bluetooth headset is quite simple, and I will talk about it below. However, here you need to know some nuances. For example, when you reconnect to another smartphone, it may not see working headphones. However, this problem is easy to solve.
Equipment:
The Xiaomi headphones package includes: headphones, replaceable ear pads, a carrying case (optional), a cufflink for attaching the wire (optional).
The headphones have the following functional elements:
- 3.5 mm jack for connecting to an audio output device, such as a smartphone;
- island with function keys and microphone;
- cups with speakers.

Charging the headphone battery
Since Bluetooth headphones require additional power to operate the adapter, as well as to play sound, it is logical to assume that there is a battery inside. Hence another question, how to charge a Bluetooth headset?
It should be noted right away that not every model has the ability to charge. In other words, some headphones run on regular batteries that cannot be charged. In this case, the interface for connecting charging is simply not provided and at certain moments you need to change the power source.
Features of Xiaomi headphones:
- Built-in microphone
- Remote Control
All Xiaomi headphone models have a built-in microphone, which frees your hands from holding your smartphone when there is an incoming call. By the way, you can use it in conjunction with a PC, communicating via audio or video. However, the computer may not recognize some models, please keep this in mind.
There is an island on the Xiaomi headphone wire that has 1 or 3 control buttons. If there is only one button, then it performs the following actions:
- one short press - pause/play;
- two short presses - switch to the next song;
- three short presses - switch to the previous song;
- when there is an incoming call, one short press - accept the call;
- When there is an incoming call, one long press will reject the call.
* On some smartphones, one long press launches the voice assistant.
If there are 3 buttons on the remote control, then they perform the following actions:
- the central button performs all the above actions;
- the top button is responsible for increasing the volume when pressed briefly and fast forwarding the song when held;
- The bottom button decreases the volume when pressed briefly and rewinds the song when held.
How does a wireless device work?
To understand how to use your device, you need to know how a Bluetooth phone headset works. First of all, it is a means of communication, combined headphones and a microphone. The device communicates with the smartphone via wireless communication. In order for information to be transferred correctly, several conditions must be met:
- the phone is connected to the headset (they are paired);
- the earphone is designed for communication (has the required profile);
- Bluetooth technology enabled;
- for iPhone – version of the wireless adapter from 4.0.
If any connection problems occur, most often they are associated not with the smartphone, but with the headset. The only setting you can use on your phone is turning Bluetooth on and off. The headphones themselves may have a power button, pairing button, volume control and built-in functions (profiles). For example, in order to use a Bluetooth headset as headphones for listening to music, this possibility must be indicated in the characteristics. Otherwise, you can use a special application on your smartphone, but the quality of the music will be low, since this function was not originally intended to be used on this device. Additionally, pressing the pairing button can have different modes depending on the duration.
Headphone care:
Periodically, the headphones need to be cleaned of dust and dirt. To do this you need to use cotton swabs. They can be either dry or slightly moistened with alcohol. Use a gentle circular motion to clean the earphone driver (speaker recess). To clean other parts of the headphones, it is recommended to use cotton pads.
When not in use, it is recommended to remove the headphones from your ears and audio output device.

How to use a Bluetooth headset? Despite the fact that such devices have been in wide demand for quite some time, the number of users is still growing every day. This is not strange, because wireless HandsFree is very convenient, even for listening to music at home.
But, before moving on to the question of how to use a Bluetooth headset, you should understand what it even is? After all, this is the basis that will allow you to better understand the operating principle of such equipment.
What to do if the headphones don't work:
The problem can be two-dimensional: software and technical.
The technical issue is with the physical headphone jack. As a rule, in situations where there is dirt, dust or other foreign objects in the connector, the headphones are not recognized by the device, or the gadget shows that they are there when they are not. Smartphones are carried in pockets or bags and it is simply impossible to avoid dust getting inside the connector. You can get rid of foreign objects in the connector by simply turning the smartphone over and knocking a little; in other cases, you can carefully remove the dust using a cotton swab. After this, it is recommended to insert the headphones into the jack several times and remove them. If you are not confident in your abilities, we recommend contacting a service center.
The software problem usually occurs after updating the MIUI version. If this scenario occurs, we recommend contacting a service center to restore the previous version of the OS. At home, rolling back to the previous version is not recommended due to the new MIUI security policy.
If your smartphone detects headphones when they are not physically installed, the following method may help:
— connect the headphones to your smartphone; — by pressing the volume rocker, increase the volume to the maximum value; — at the moment when the volume reaches its maximum value, remove the headphones from the jack; — if necessary, repeat the procedure several times.

So, you bought brand new Bluetooth headphones and can’t wait to try them out. But you shouldn’t rush: if you rush to connect them to your phone after just taking them out of the package, there is a high probability of encountering the first error: the headphones may not be charged, then they will turn off quickly, the phone will not see them, or they will not turn on at all.

Talking on the phone
This function is considered the main one. The wireless headset is designed to free the hands of the person using it. Talk on the phone using this device like this:
