How to connect wireless headphones to your tablet

Can't imagine your life without your favorite music? Do you like to watch movies and TV series on the way to work or school on public transport? And, most likely, you hate constantly untangling your headphones? Then this article is for you, because we will talk about new generation headphones that work wirelessly, thereby making their use more convenient.

Wireless Features

Currently, this type of connection is becoming increasingly popular in developed countries of the world. As an example, you can even take a TV or air conditioner remote control that is familiar to any person. Like all similar devices, it is equipped with a sensor for receiving a signal emanating from a corresponding source and transmitted in one of three ways:

• via infrared port;
• via radio channel;
• using Bluetooth.

Wireless headphones operate based on the latest type of connection and their undoubted advantage is compatibility with both mobile phones and tablets from various companies. Among the leading models on the market are Airpods from Apple, Beats Studio Wireless, and products from Sony and Samsung. Next, we’ll look at how to properly connect them to the device.

How to connect Bluetooth headphones

This type of headphones works by converting an analog signal containing sound into a digital one.The distance to the source should not exceed 10–15 meters, and the presence of obstacles in the form of walls or large objects does not matter and does not affect the quality of transmission.

The only significant disadvantage of these headphones is the fairly frequent need to recharge them, as well as the device with which they are connected via Bluetooth. Now let's move on to the main topic of the article and step by step consider how to connect wireless headphones to tablets running on different operating systems.

ATTENTION! Before connecting, make sure that the headset you choose is compatible with your tablet (Android or iOS). To do this, you should study the instructions included with the headphones. After checking, you can proceed directly to the connection.

To iOS tablet

Currently, this operating system is the most popular among users around the world and is not going to lose ground. People choose Apple products based on excellent performance and, in the case of headphones, sound.

Apple technology is chosen not only by those who like to listen to music, but also by those who create and perform it. Relatively recently, the company’s specialists also developed wireless headphones called Airpods and compatible with the iPhone and iPad of the same company. Let's move on to how to properly connect the miracle of technology to a tablet computer running on the iOS operating system:

• first of all, you need to turn on the device (in our case, the iPad) and the headphones themselves by pressing the corresponding button on the case;
• Next, you should open the settings menu on the tablet and select the Bluetooth section;
• enable the connection by moving the button on the screen to the right;
• The iPad will begin automatically searching for nearby devices with a wireless connection enabled, and you just need to find and select your headset by name;
• after this, the headphones must be connected to the tablet, during which sometimes you need to enter a code, usually specified in the instructions;
• If the operation is successful, the connected headset icon will appear at the top of the iPad line and you can already start listening to your favorite songs.

To Android tablet

In addition to Apple tablets, devices from other companies running the Android operating system are also compatible with wireless headphones. They are also suitable for listening to your favorite music or watching TV series and movies.

Such tablets outperform their competitors in cost; it is usually significantly lower, which means it is suitable for a wider range of consumers. The steps to connect wireless headphones to an Android device are practically the same as the previous ones:

1. Turn on the tablet and headset.
2. Through the settings menu, enable the Bluetooth connection and select the appropriate headphones from the available devices.
3. We wait for the automatic connection to complete and, if necessary, enter the PIN code specified in the instructions for the headset.
4. We check for the presence of the connected headphones icon in the status bar of the tablet computer and proceed to using the gadget with the new accessory.

IMPORTANT! The connection only needs to be made once, and in the future the device will automatically make this choice when Bluetooth is turned on. Also, do not forget about recharging, since the wireless connection is quite energy-consuming for both the tablet and headphones.
