How do I use wireless headphones?

The name of the wireless headphones speaks for itself - these devices for transmitting audio signals are connected and work wirelessly. It is convenient and comfortable with such devices, because they are highly popular all over the world.

By their design, wireless headphones are very similar to conventional ones, which are connected via a cable. The difference concerns only one detail - the absence of any wires. One of 4 wireless channels is used to transmit information. To receive and process the signal, wireless headphones are equipped with a separate built-in battery and receiver.

By design features, there are 3 main types of wireless headphones.

• Fullsize They are distinguished by the presence of a rigid frame in the form of a semicircle, which connects the headphones to each other. Reliable construction, large dimensions and excellent sound are the main features of such models. Best suited for home use.

• Overhead wireless the headphones are fixed on the outside of the ear, they are not connected to each other. Most of the models have good sound quality. The user's ear does not close completely. Many manufacturers offer foldable on-ear wireless headphones.

• Plug-in models are fixed in the auricle by means of special ear cushions. It is convenient to train with such devices, they do not interfere with an active lifestyle. In some models, you can find a special bezel that provides a higher quality signal reception.

Depending on the method of transmitting information, there are 4 main categories of wireless headphones.

• Bluetooth Is a popular data transmission method appreciated for clear sound, minimal noise and distortion. The operating range is 10 meters, and the signal, even at the maximum distance, is characterized by relative purity and high quality. The presence of obstructions does not affect the signal quality.

• Infrared port - this is not the best option for music lovers, since the sound quality is poor. The signal transmission range does not exceed 10 meters, at such a distance the sound will be greatly distorted. Headphones with this type of data transfer can be used for watching movies, programs and phone calls.

• Radio waves Is a stable method of data transmission, the range of which can be up to 150 kilometers. Obstacles to radio waves are not an obstacle, except for reinforced concrete structures. However, as the distance between the headphones and the signal source increases, the transmission quality may deteriorate. Also, the signal can be noisy.

• Wi-Fi Is one of the best ways to transfer data. Wireless headphones can work directly or through a router. Choosing high-quality headphones, you can be sure of high sound quality, no compression and interference. In this case, even 2 headsets can function from one signal source.

Wireless headphones are connected according to the same scheme. We will look at the principle of connecting headphones with Bluetooth:

• Bluetooth is activated on the mobile device;

• Bluetooth is also activated on the headphones, this process will differ depending on the company and model of the device, therefore, more detailed information on this item can be obtained from the seller or manufacturer;

• the readiness of the headphones for synchronization will be indicated by a sound alert or a signal from the built-in LED;

• the mobile device will start scanning for available devices, which will be displayed in the corresponding list;

• choose headphones from the list by model or company name;

• we confirm the connection, enter the password, which may differ from the standard one (0000), which can be found in the documentation for the headphones;

• the mobile device will automatically “remember” the new connection and password, which will provide instant synchronization every time you connect.

It is more difficult to connect wireless Bluetooth headphones, since not every PC model is equipped with this module. Only some of the more modern laptop models have the ability to transfer information through this channel.

To connect it, use USB port. You will also need install the appropriate drivers. Next, you need to do the following:

• through the "Start" menu, select the "Devices and Printers" tab;

• activate Bluetooth on headphones;

• press the "Add device" button, after which Windows will start searching for active devices ready for pairing;

• enter the password;

• select headphones as the main equipment through which the audio signal will be played back.

After these simple steps, you can use wireless headphones.

Despite the large selection of wireless headphones and external differences, they are all similar in their functions and controls. The overwhelming majority of models have 3 buttons on the case. Their functions differ depending on the length of the hold and the press options. The range of functions available to the user of wireless headphones is also standard on most models.

1. Switching on and off is combined in one button. It is usually activated by a long press, which should last for a few seconds. You can find few models that are equipped with a separate power control.

2. Volume control - these are two buttons labeled "+" and "-". Often the same buttons can be used to switch songs.

3. Pause and start playback of a track - multifunctional button. Many manufacturers add additional functions to it, including turning on the player, receiving calls, calling the last phone number, or activating voice dialing.

4. In some models there may be a separate button for receiving incoming calls.

5. To switch the signal source (FM radio, SD card) may also be present separate control.

Usually bundled with wireless headphones there is a special cable for charging... It's very easy to use. You need to insert the cable into the USB port on one side, and connect the other side to the power source. Such a source can be not only a power supply from a smartphone / tablet, but also a computer or laptop.

Experts advise using the supplied cable for charging. If you use a different wire, the condition of the built-in batteries may deteriorate. Such changes can manifest itself in a rapid discharge or refusal to work.It usually takes 1 to 2 hours to charge, depending on the type of battery. You can find out about the full charge of the headphones by changing the status of the indicator. It may stop blinking or change its color. It is better to disconnect charged headphones from the power source immediately.

Modern wireless headphones are reliable devices that are built to last. But they need to be provided with proper care, which consists in fulfilling a number of requirements.

1. Device should not be stored in high humidity conditions... Also, exposure to high temperatures negatively affects the condition of the device and its performance.

2. Mechanical damage can significantly reduce the performance of the headphones or render them inoperative.

3. Built-in rechargeable batteries are sensitive to errorsallowed while charging the device.

4. Ear pads need periodic replacement and regular cleansing.

5. Maximum volume not only negatively affects the health of the ears, but also reduces the lifespan of the earbuds.

6. The device must be stored in special cases or cases. If the manufacturer is not worried about the safe storage of the headphones or the case / case has been lost / damaged, then you should immediately purchase a new device.

In some cases, the device may not see the headphones. The reasons for this situation may be the following:

• headphones need charging;

• device synchronization may not be activated;

• the headphones are off;

• the absence of automatic synchronization on the mobile device, which requires a manual connection in each case; in the case of a computer, this procedure will have to be constantly performed in any case.
