How to connect wireless headphones to a Huawei tablet?

The most popular additional device for tablet computers and smartphones is headphones. They will come in handy both during use outside the home and at home.

Headphones for tablets come in two types: wireless and wired. And since wired headsets are gradually going out of fashion, in this essay I will talk about wireless options, as well as how to connect wireless headphones to your tablet.

How to choose good headphones for your tablet

It would seem that the main purpose of any audio headset is to reproduce sound, and any model, even the cheapest one, can do this. Then why are some devices more expensive than others? It's all about sound quality.

In headphones, the sound signal is a priori of lower quality than from speakers, and even more so from sound monitors.

This is due to the fact that there must be at least a small distance between the source of the sound and the one who receives it (in this case, the receiving end is the human ear) in order for the vibrations of the sound to “travel” through the air.

Naturally, headphones with a microphone for a tablet are located close to the ear, and therefore the sound almost does not vibrate in the air, thereby losing quality.

Therefore, the quality of the outgoing signal from the accessory radically affects what we hear. If you want high-quality sound, buy a good headset.

Now let's move on to how to choose the right wireless accessory.

To do this, I have compiled several basic criteria that need to be taken into account when choosing:

1. External or internal. Internal accessories are large options that cover the entire ear and have an upper rim, for example, gaming headphones for a tablet. Usually they have better sound and more autonomy, but the head and ears get tired quite quickly in such a headset. An external headset is one that is inserted into the ear. It is convenient to play sports in such accessories, and some even wear them all day, because the ears hardly get tired (except inside the sink).
2. Battery life. Since the wireless headset is not connected by cable to the tablet, it has its own small battery. But unlike the battery in mobile devices, the characteristics of sound-reproducing devices indicate not the number of milliamps per hour, but the approximate battery life. On average it is 8-14 hours, depending on the model.
3. Availability of a microphone. If you plan to not only listen, but also talk through the accessory, then make sure that it has a microphone.
4. Noise insulation. This individual setting depends on the user's preferences. If you do not want to hear extraneous noise, then choose a vacuum type headset (in the case of an internal one) or closed external headphones. There are also models with adaptive noise reduction, which analyzes the sound from the microphone and filters the noise level.
5. Frequency range. Any playback device has a range of frequencies that it can reproduce. A person can recognize from 16 hertz to 20 kilohertz. The closer to this indicator the characteristics of the accessory, the better.
6. Volume. I recommend buying a headset with a sensitivity of 80 dB or higher.

I did not describe factors such as design, type of attachment to the head (or ears), etc., since these are too subjective criteria.

Why can't my phone see my headphones?

The phone does not see Android headphones The phone does not see Bluetooth headphones The phone does not see headphones with a microphone The phone does not see wireless headphones

Headphones are one of the most popular accessories for any phone. They are presented on the market in a fairly varied assortment, and the quality of their work is often not satisfactory. But problems still happen. In some situations, the headphones on your phone do not work and listening to your favorite songs becomes impossible. What is causing this kind of trouble? What are its causes and what to do in this or that situation? Let's consider the main aspects of this issue and analyze the points that require the closest possible attention.

The phone does not recognize Android headphones

Quite often, the phone does not recognize the headphones due to software failures. They are associated with errors accumulated in the system. The following will help you troubleshoot:

• Cleaning Android with a special utility. You can download it from the Google Play service. She will check the gadget for errors and return it to its former performance;
• Restore system parameters to factory settings. Before doing this, you should save all current data to a memory card and remove it from the device;
• Flashing a smartphone. It is highly not recommended to carry out such a procedure without proper experience. It is better to contact the service center staff for help.

But it's not just about software failures. Quite often we are talking about hardware problems. The most common problems you have to deal with are:

• Manufacturing defect of the product - this situation is quite rare;
• Damage to the wire - when it moves, a sound periodically appears and goes off;
• The problem with the plug is that when connecting, you must constantly hold it in a certain position;
• The appearance of noise - in this case, the problem lies in a weak or faulty contact;
• Speaker malfunction - one or both channels work poorly or do not play content at all;
• The headphone jack is faulty - this is due to prolonged and excessively active use of the device. You can check the accessory when connecting to any other sound source.

Top 5 wireless headphones for tablet

By now there is a very wide selection of truly good wireless headsets.

I have selected the 5 best options, 3 of which are internal plugs, and 2 of which are external large accessories.

Top 5:

1. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2.
2. Audio-Technica ATH-CKR7TW.

3. Sony WH-1000XM3. External headset.
4. Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 SE. External accessory.

5. Apple AirPods Pro (2019).

High-quality sound, noise-canceling technology and impressive battery life are all included in each of the above options.

OS crash

The first problem due to which the phone does not see the headphones is a malfunction of the operating system. No one is immune from this, and failures themselves can occur at a completely inopportune moment.

This problem can be resolved in two ways. The first one, which is also the simplest, is to reboot the device. As practice shows, in most cases, a reboot solves the problem and the headphones begin to be detected by the device again.

The second method of solving the problem is more radical - resetting all phone settings to factory settings. If rebooting doesn't help, then resetting to factory settings should help 100%. You can perform the procedure through your phone settings in the “Backup and Memory” section.

How to connect wireless headphones to iPad

To connect headphones to an Apple tablet, you need to understand which headset is being used: AirPods or any other. In the case of AirPods, you need to open the home screen on the tablet, then put the case with AirPods next to it and take out the headphones from it.

A few seconds will pass and the AirPods settings menu will appear on the iPad display, and the accessory will be linked to the iCloud account on the tablet. Now everything is ready to use! Instructions on how to connect Bluetooth headphones to a tablet (not AirPods):

1. Turn on the audio device by pressing and holding the corresponding button.
2. Go to the iPad settings, to the “Bluetooth” section and turn on this function.

3. Find the name of the accessory and connect to them by entering the password specified in the instructions (most often it is 0000).
4. If a password is not requested, while connecting the tablet to the Bluetooth channel of the accessory, hold down the headset power button to pair the devices.
5. The devices will connect to each other and now you can start using them.

In both cases, you only need to connect the headset once. All subsequent times, just turn on Bluetooth and the connection will happen automatically.

A little about wireless communication

In the modern world, the wireless type of connection of devices is increasingly gaining momentum. Even as children, we already had remote control cars. Wireless home handsets, mobile phones, transferring information from one device to another using Bluetooth, wireless keyboards and mice, printers! The list can go on for a very long time. This market is developing very quickly, as technology does not stand still. Every day, scientists from all over the world make scientific discoveries that can then be used in the field of electronics and mobile technology.

Wireless modules have become a very strong part of our lives. We didn't even notice how it happened. Today, almost every Russian home has some device from this category. At the very least, this is a mobile phone. And what is the Screen Mirroring function worth on smart TVs? It allows you to stream video from the screen of your smartphone or tablet to your TV without a wired connection! Indeed, this is impressive. Well, under such a strong pressure of modern technology, where would our expensive headphones go? They are also equipped with a wireless module that allows you to connect to a suitable device.

How to connect Bluetooth headphones to an Android tablet

Connecting to an Android gadget is very simple.

How to connect headphones:

1. Turn on your wireless headset.
2. Go to your tablet settings and turn on Bluetooth.
3. In the list of Bluetooth devices, find the name of your accessory and click on it.
4. If you need to enter a password, look it up in the instructions (usually 0000).
5. The headset is now successfully connected.

This instruction is relevant only for the first connection. After this, it will be enough to simply turn on Bluetooth.

How to connect regular ones?

The method of carrying out actions is really different from the previous ones, since the structure has a wire.

• First you need to take the plug.
• Next, carefully inspect the tablet and find a suitable connector.
• Therefore, you can now insert the plug directly into the hole.
• After which it is recommended to double-check the functionality and correctness of the connection.

REFERENCE! If the cable does not match the connector, you will additionally have to purchase a special adapter.

Connection errors

The problem that occurs most often is that the headphones do not see and the bluetooth does not see. First, try connecting your device again by checking if the headset and Bluetooth on the tablet are turned on.

If this does not help, then reboot both devices and try again. If this does not work, then check the operation of the accessory on another device. Perhaps it's the tablet's bluetooth module.

If the sound suddenly disappears, most likely the headset is discharged or is located too far from the tablet.

Headphones don't work: troubleshooting

Did you know that the word “headphones” itself is synonymous with the term “headphones”? Apparently, this name arose due to the fact that the English headphones (head - head, phone - telephone) were translated literally. And only then they began to use the much simpler and more convenient word “headphones”.

Today, almost every one of us has this device - in the old days we used headphones only to listen to music, but today they have turned into a full-fledged headset, with which you can even communicate with a person by phone or any other type of communication, for example, Skype .

The only downside of the headphones is the quality. Yes, even the most expensive device can fail at the most inopportune moment, as many of you have probably encountered more than once. However, often the problem lies not in the headphones themselves, but in the device to which they were connected. And I will prove it to you.

Headphones do not work in the phone or player

Let's imagine that you inserted headphones into the jack on your phone or player? but the following happens:

• When playing a file, strange extraneous noises, rustling, and crackling noises appear.

• In order for the sound to be normal, you have to constantly keep your hand near the connector.

• Only one earphone may work, and the second one works intermittently.

If you experience one of the problems described, then the problem with 99% certainty lies in the headphones themselves. To make sure of this, connect them to any other sound source (phone, TV, computer, etc.). If there is no noise in this case, then yes, the problem is in the headphones.

What to do? If the headphones are relatively new and have a warranty, go to the store and ask for a replacement - you have every right to do so. If there is no warranty, then the choice is small - either we resolder the existing headphones from a specialist (and the problem probably lies in the plug or wire), or we buy new ones. It all depends on the cost of repairs, and your attachment to the device itself.

By the way, you can re-solder the wires with the plug yourself; fortunately, there are a lot of diagrams for this on the Internet.

If, after connecting the headphones to another device, the sound in them is restored, then the problem is in the phone (or player) itself, namely:

• The headphone jack may be damaged. This probably happened due to mechanical damage.

• The contacts inside the device body could have oxidized, or a short circuit could have occurred.

• Perhaps the problem is related to the device board. You can't do it without opening and analyzing your phone.

• Finally, the problem may be related to the gadget’s software, that is, its firmware.

What to do? First, we try to reboot your device and if this does not help, then reflash it. Also put the device on charge - oddly enough, this may work. If nothing helps, contact a service center to test the device for problems.

Features of Bluetooth headphones

A wireless headset is a device that receives sound from a source using universal data transmission technology. Headphones are connected to a protocol with a device that has a similar module. Accessories do not lose connection, and special encoding protects information from interception. There are three types of models based on their shape:

1. Full size. Completely cover the ear. The emitter is located on the outer surface, which protects hearing from injury.
2. Invoices. The set with a folding mechanism is fixed on the back of the sink.
3. Plug-in. Miniature devices are convenient when playing sports or on the road.

The Bluetooth wireless standard not only transmits sound to headphones, but also compresses and decodes the audio file. The quality of music is affected by the codecs and formats that the model recognizes. To take advantage of the improved sound, switch the mode in the headset settings.

Wireless headphones use Bluetooth technology. Smartphones support modern standards from versions 4 to 5. Honor devices use Bluetooth Smart options with low power consumption. Gadgets are not backwards compatible and do not pair with outdated models.

To maintain battery life, the headphones are charged from the mains. Devices with a USB connector are connected to a PC or power supply. Accessories are stored in plastic containers and equipped with comfortable ear plugs. The equipment is connected to gadgets on the Android OS, and software is used for the computer.

How to prepare headphones for connection

Before connecting a wireless headset to your Honor gadget, you need to make sure that the phone meets the requirements. We recommend looking at and comparing versions of Bluetooth headphones and devices. The specifications of the accessory and the smartphone must match, otherwise the equipment will not recognize the new device.

Bluetooth consumes a lot of energy during operation. To prevent sudden shutdown of the devices, you need to charge both gadgets. Turn on the headset and place it next to the smartphone. The closer the devices are, the stronger the signal and the more reliable the connection.

Bluetooth Features

The Bluetooth function is a modern method of wireless communication that can be used in every modern smartphone. Thus, you can set up a connection between two phones, a smartphone and headphones, etc.

Among the advantages of this type of communication are the following:

• ease of use;
• ease of connection;
• low energy consumption.

But it is worth noting about the disadvantage of Bluetooth wireless communication - the permissible maximum distance between devices is 10 m.

The first step is to determine whether the headphones that Android does not recognize are working. To understand this, just connect them to another sound source: player, TV, computer speakers. If the headphones also do not work with other equipment, then there may be two reasons:

1. The headphones are faulty and need repair/replacement.
2. Devices are not compatible.

Incompatibility between headphones and phone is very rare, since modern headsets are universal with a few exceptions. Therefore, most likely, the headphones are simply broken or poorly made. Most common problems:

1. Damaged wire.
2. The headphone plug is dirty.
