STEP 1
Open Settings

Settings is near the lower-right corner of this example iPhone Home Screen. Your app positions may differ.
STEP 2
Open Bluetooth
Tap Bluetooth below Wi-Fi.
Bluetooth has a blue icon and sits below Wi-Fi.
STEP 3
Turn Bluetooth on
If Bluetooth is off, tap its switch.
The switch is grey before it is turned on.
STEP 4
Choose your headphones
Wait for your headphones to appear, then tap their name. Follow any pairing prompt that appears.
Apple Wireless Keyboard is an example accessory. Do not select that name unless you are pairing that keyboard. Your headphones should appear under their own name.
STEP 5
Check the connection
Look for Connected beside your headphones, then play some audio to check that you can hear it.
The example keyboard shows Connected. Check for the same status beside your own headphones; this image is not a headphone listening test.
IF SOMETHING LOOKS DIFFERENT
A little help along the way.
Your menus may look different after an update. Look for the same control name and take your time.
I cannot find that option+
Check that this guide covers your device and software. If the names do not match, use the manufacturer’s instructions linked below for your model.
I need to go back a step+
Use Previous step or select a step number above. This changes the guide only; it does not undo anything on your device.
Are these pictures of my device?+
They are example screens showing exactly where to tap. Your names, apps, wallpaper and layout may look a little different, but the options you need are the same. Some pictures show what you should see after a step.
