How to turn on pairing mode on JBL headphones, earbuds, and speakers
Robert Triggs / Android Authority
Before using your JBL headphones, earbuds, or speakers with a device, you must put them into pairing mode. The specific steps to do this may vary depending on the product, but in general, here’s what to do:
- For JBL headphones, turning on the headphones for the first time will put them into pairing mode. If you want to put them into pairing mode after that, power them off, then press and hold the power button for around five seconds until the blue indicator LED flashes and they enter Bluetooth pairing mode.
- JBL true wireless earbuds, like the JBL Tune 230NC TWS, automatically enter pairing mode when you open their case or take a bud out of the case. If that doesn’t work, you can enter pairing mode manually by tapping and holding the left or right earbud for five seconds until the earbuds enter pairing mode. The specific earbud to use to do this may vary, so check your model’s manual to be sure.
- If you have wireless JBL bands on a band, you can automatically put them in pairing mode by turning them on.
- You can put JBL speakers, like the Flip 6, into pairing mode by turning the speaker on and then pressing the Bluetooth button.
