There’s no point getting wireless headphones for your iPhone unless you know how to connect AirPods and it’s actually fairly straightforward! For anyone with a modern smartphone, you’ll understand the annoyance of no headphone jack. Wireless headphones are making that feature cut a whole lot less saw.

AirPods are brilliant for anyone, especially those you work out a lot. They don’t get caught on clothes, items or even your own hands. Surprisingly, they also don’t fall out of your ears regularly. As any other Apple product, you will only be able to use AirPods with your other Apple products and they are rather pricey but completely worth it!

 

How to connect AirPods

Connecting your AirPods is actually a whole lot easier than you realise. It takes a matter of seconds and hardly any work from yourself. First of all, you need to make sure your phone is up to date. You can do this by going into Settings – General – Software Update. Your phone will then tell you if you need to update or if you’re all good.

Once you’re ready to connect your earphones, you’ll need to start on your home screen. Open up your AirPod case with the earphones inside and you should get a pop up with a picture of the cases appear. Tap connect at the bottom of this. Your AirPods should quickly connect. If Hey Siri is already set up on your phone, it will automatically connect to your AirPods. If this isn’t set up, your phone will now explain how to do this. Tap done and you’ll be all good to go.

If you have your iCloud set up on your phone, your new AirPods will automatically connect to any of your apple devices with the same Apple ID.

 

Do they stay connected?

When you take your AirPods out your ear, they will pause the music but stay connected. When you put them back in, your music will automatically start again. When you put them back in the case, they will disconnect. When you play music or videos, they will then play from the loudspeakers.

Once you want to use them again, they will be already connected. You just need to open the case and your phone will register the earphones. Putting them in your ears will connect them to your sounds, ready for whenever you want to use them next.

 

How to use AirPods

Coming to actually using your AirPods is a whole lot easier than anything, and everything is already so simple! When you want to listen to something, just pop your earphones in and you should hear a short sound in a few seconds. This lets you know that the AirPods are ready to be used. Just press play on your phone and you’ll be off.
