Modern technology does not stand still. That is why most wired connections are becoming increasingly obsolete at the moment. They were replaced by wireless technologies, which are much more convenient. The advantage of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi switching is obvious, as there is no longer any need to look for a suitable connector. And also there is no risk of tearing or damaging the wire, which increases the duration of operation of this device. We’ll tell you how to use such a headset.
Wireless Headphone Design
The design of the wireless headset is similar to that of conventional headphones, with the exception of one detail. Information for playback is not transmitted via wires, but through a wireless channel. In order to receive and process a wireless signal, the device needs a separate battery.
IMPORTANT! The presence of a receiver and battery is the main design feature of wireless headphones.
Data Transfer Methods
It should also be noted that according to the method of data transmission, a wireless headset is divided into several types of data.
Bluetooth
Presently most popular mix, as it combines ergonomics and versatility. Switching using this technology is highly reliable, no interference on the channel and a fairly large distance.
The presence of a Bluetooth module on all modern devices facilitates the connection process, making devices with this technology universal.
Infrared port
This high frequency operation link similar to bluetooth, however infrared connection has a shorter range.
In this case, undoubted plus is the high sound quality.
REFERENCE! Infrared ports are currently being used less and less; finding a headset that supports such switching is becoming more difficult.
Radio waves
Radio connection provides the longest communication distance. But the radio channel is more susceptible to interference, and sound degradation is also possible with increasing distance between the device and the headphones.
Since the most popular technology is the Bluetooth connection, this article will discuss the main ways to connect the bluetooth headphones, as well as their functions and options.
Headphone connection
Wireless headphones can be connected not only to smartphones on android, but also to tablets and computers. Each connection method should be considered separately.
Connecting to a phone (tablet)
Tablets are usually available with the same operating system as smartphones, so the process of switching devices is identical.
- In order to start the connection you should turn on the bluetooth module on the headphones. This is done by pressing and holding the corresponding button for several seconds. Headphones are equipped with a color indicator, which will indicate the readiness of the device for operation.

Some headset comes with its receiver. In this case, just insert it into a special connector and turn on the headphones. Switching will happen automatically, and the smartphone will “see” the receiver as regular headphones.
Computer connection
To connect a headset to a computer, you should enable bluetooth module. This is done either in the "Device Manager" or through the notification panel. Then find the necessary device and connect.
ATTENTION! If the headphones do not have a separate receiving device, then to connect the wireless headset to the PC, it must be equipped with a bluetooth module.
If on laptops this equipment is almost always built into the design, then on stationary PCs an additional device in the form of an external module may be required.
Headphone functions and buttons
The main
Wireless devices typically contain at least three buttons whose functions can be 
combined. Usually there are more buttons, and all of them are responsible for different functions.
- Turning on. Mandatory button that is responsible for turning the device on and off. Usually, to achieve a reaction, you need to hold the button for several seconds. On some models, instead of the power button, there is a switch.
- Volume control. Usually it is a pair of buttons with the indicator "+" and "-". As the name implies, they responsible for increasing or decreasing the playback volume. These buttons also combine the fast forward and rewind functions, respectively.
- Play / pause. Is needed to control playback. Usually combines on / off functions, receiving calls, turning on voice control.
Additional
Next buttons may be present or absent on some headset models.
- Button to select a signal source. From a connected device to an FM radio or flash card.
- Button on / off microphonebut.
- Separate button to receive a call or voice control.
Recharging
Wireless headphones due to their design require regular recharging. It is carried out mainly using a USB cable.
ATTENTION! To ensure high-quality battery operation, it is recommended that after purchasing the device, completely discharge and charge it several times. This will provide a longer service life.
Operating time without recharging differs for different models and depends on the way of functioning, however, the average figure is 5-6 hours without recharging.
ATTENTION! In order to prolong the life of the device, you should not leave it for a long time on charging.
