Bluetooth-гарнитуры очень популярны у современных и мобильных людей. Подключив Bluetooth-гарнитуру к телефону, вы можете делать и принимать звонки без необходимости держать устройство в руке, что весьма удобно при управлении автомобилем, совершении покупок или простой пробежке. Если ваш телефон оснащен Bluetooth-модулем, подключите его к Bluetooth-гарнитуре, чтобы упростить пользование устройством.

Подготовка Bluetooth-гарнитуры

Зарядите гарнитуру. Следует зарядить как телефон, так и гарнитуру, чтобы разряд аккумулятора не привел к прерыванию процесса сопряжения.

• В большинстве случаев включите гарнитуру, а затем в течение нескольких секунд удерживайте нажатой многофункциональную кнопку (то есть кнопку, которую вы нажимаете, чтобы ответить на звонок). Сначала светодиод будет мигать, сигнализируя, что гарнитура включена (не отпускайте кнопку!), а через несколько секунд светодиод будет мигать разными цветами (как правило, красным и синим, но встречаются и другие цвета). Мигающий светодиод означает, что гарнитура находится в режиме сопряжения.
• Если ваша гарнитура оснащена переключателем «Вкл/Выкл» (On/Off), передвиньте его в положение «Вкл» (On), прежде чем нажать и удерживать многофункциональную кнопку. [1] X Источник информации

Расположите гарнитуру недалеко от телефона. Для сопряжения оба устройства должны находиться близко друг к другу. Для получения наилучших результатов расстояние между устройствами не должно превышать 1,5 м. [2] X Источник информации

Will my Bluetooth headphones work with my [blank]?

Bluetooth has become ubiquitous nowadays. You find it in phones, headsets, smart fridges, and – yes – even socks. Yet when it comes to figuring out whether your Bluetooth headset will work with a phone in your hand or a computer at your desk, people often have doubts.

Well, if you must take just one thing away from this post, here it is:

All Bluetooth headsets should work with all Bluetooth smartphones, tablets, and computers That’s because…

Bluetooth is backward-compatible

Bluetooth technology is made to be backward-compatible. Every new version of Bluetooth works with all the previous ones. However, new features that come with each version will only work if both connected devices are using that latest version.

For example, Bluetooth 2.1 introduced the concept of secure simple pairing that doesn’t require a PIN. A Bluetooth 2.1 phone would work just fine with, say, an older Bluetooth 2.0 headset – but you’d just still need to pair them by entering a PIN.

The main message here is: As long as both devices use Bluetooth, you should be fine.

But then there was Bluetooth 4.0…

Big, bad, bewildering “Bluetooth low energy”

In mid-2010, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) adopted Bluetooth 4.0, which included a new protocol called “Bluetooth low energy.” As the name implies, this protocol could be used for applications with extremely low power consumption: One could potentially get up to a whopping two years of operation on a single 1,000 mAh coin cell battery.

This low energy protocol created a sort of fork in the Bluetooth development path. Ironically, in an attempt to make things simple, Bluetooth SIG ended up introducing new, somewhat confusing labels: “Bluetooth Smart” and “Bluetooth Smart Ready.”

Bluetooth Smart

Bluetooth Smart refers to single-mode devices that only use the new, low energy protocol to communicate with other gadgets. These are typically quite specialized things like heart monitors, sensors, and other equipment that can benefit from the ultra low power consumption. Because of their single-mode setup, Bluetooth Smart devices won’t be able to communicate with the older, “classic” Bluetooth.

Importantly, Bluetooth headsets and headphones will not fall into the Bluetooth Smart category (see below).

Classic Bluetooth

This refers to all Bluetooth gadgets, from phones to tablets to headsets, that came before the whole low energy deal. This also covers new devices that need to make use of “classic” Bluetooth’s higher rate of data transfer (for e.g. file sharing) and therefore cannot really benefit from the low energy protocol.

As it stands today, Bluetooth headsets and headphones will always be in this “classic” category. That’s because, by definition, audio headsets must use the voice capability and the higher rate of data transfer, neither of which is offered by Bluetooth low energy.

Bluetooth Smart Ready

Bluetooth Smart Ready devices are dual-mode: They can communicate with both classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Smart devices. The vast majority of smartphones, tablets, and computers that came out since Bluetooth 4.0 fall into this category.

Here’s a great diagram that summarizes the relationship between the three, which I’ve shamelessly stolen from here:

Because Bluetooth headsets must use the classic Bluetooth, they’ll work with both your older phones and newer, Smart Ready ones. (The same goes for tablets and computers.)

A fun aside: There are signs that Bluetooth SIG is now moving away from the “Smart” naming, according to this brand FAQ:

For example: the technology branded as “Bluetooth Smart” will be more simply characterized as “Bluetooth low energy technology.”

Sure, why use two words when you can use four? Simple!

The main takeaway is that the low energy specification has little to no impact on whether Bluetooth headsets will work with Bluetooth-enabled computers, smartphones, and tablets. Our key statement remains true:

All Bluetooth headsets should work with all Bluetooth smartphones, tablets, and computers

There are (rare) exceptions

One main exception to the above happens when manufacturers explicitly decide not to support Bluetooth headsets. The most notorious examples of this are the PS4 and Xbox One gaming consoles that have offered no support for third-party Bluetooth headsets when they first launched.

Keep that in mind when you’re about to get a Bluetooth headset or a pair of Bluetooth music headphones for that new fancy Playbox 3000. But remember: Apart from these rare cases…say it with me:

All Bluetooth headsets should work with all Bluetooth smartphones, tablets, and computers *** Looking for a great deal on Bluetooth headsets? Visit Jabra’s official outlet store to save as much as 50% on select products:

How to Use a Bluetooth Headset With a Computer

Using a Bluetooth headset frees you up to work with your hands on your computer to search and type, while speaking with another party. In order to use a Bluetooth headset with your computer, you need to «pair» it meaning let the computer and the Bluetooth device create a connection. Devices do vary, as do operating systems, but the general rules of pairing will remain the same.

Make the Device Discoverable

Most devices have a way to pair with the computer. It is important to first put the device in discovery mode. This is where a Bluetooth signal is sent out searching for another Bluetooth signal to connect with. The closer the two devices are to each other, the easier pairing is. A Lenovo Bluetooth headset generally has a button that is used to accept or decline calls. This button should be held down for several seconds, until an LED light will begin to blink showing that the device is now discoverable. Unless the computer is not equipped for Bluetooth or has it disabled for some reason, you don’t need to make the computer discoverable. A pop-up screen appears on the computer, asking if you want to connect to the device.

Manufacturers such as Lenovo Bluetooth make a variety of devices, so be sure to read the instruction manual for the specific sequence. Once the device is paired, it should not need to be paired again, unless you remove it from the authorized devices.

Windows Bluetooth Pairing

Most laptops are already equipped for Bluetooth pairing, while desktops may not be. If your desktop is not Bluetooth enabled, you may need a USB adapter. For example, Kensington offers a small USB insert that allows keyboards, headsets and mouses to be paired with computers not capable of Bluetooth connections naturally.

These are plug-and-play USB ports that generate a pop-up window to download the Bluetooth adapter driver into the Window’s operating system. Once the driver is installed, the USB plug-in remains in the USB port and headsets such as a Lenovo Bluetooth headset will be seen in discovery mode. If you remove the USB driver you may need to repair the device after reinstalling the driver. These work with most Windows 10, 8.1, 8 and 7 operating systems.

Mac iOS Pairing

Most older Mac operating systems through Mac iOS 10 have Bluetooth capability with a variety of devices, including a Lenovo Bluetooth headset. The icon is seen in the upper right corner of the screen in the menu bar, with the date, time, battery life and wireless connection strength. The icon looks like two triangles on top of each other. If the icon is gray, click on it to enable Bluetooth.

Once you click the Bluetooth icon, a drop-down menu appears, with an option to Turn Bluetooth On. Once this is enabled, you will not need to make the computer discoverable. Make the headset discoverable, and the computer will discover it and pair. Repairing is often required, if the Bluetooth is disabled for any reason.

How to use Bluetooth headphones with any device that has a headset port

Like it or not, wired headphones are a dying breed. At least, wired headphones with a 3.5mm jack are. It may be many years from now, but the trend towards «all-wireless-everything» is in full effect, outside of specialist cases where audio quality is absolutely critical.

With that switch, we’ve seen an absolute bonanza of «true wireless earbuds» pop up in recent years. For better or worse, all of them use a Bluetooth connection to keep tunes flowing. Sometimes, as is the case with Apple’s AirPods, there’s a little extra magic thrown in with a custom chip.

But what if you have some old gadgets lying around that don’t have Bluetooth built in? Whether you, like me, are still holding onto your aging Zune collection, or you just want to add some wireless audio to an old stereo, there’s no need to worry. There are ways to combine even the oldest tech with a dash of modern convenience.

What you’ll need

Our goal here is to add Bluetooth connectivity to anything that has a standard 3.5mm headphone port. Inevitably, that means using a dongle, but that’s the world we live in. For this particular task, you’re going to need a Bluetooth transmitter.

It’s important to define a couple of terms first, though. In your search for the right dongle, you’re going to run into two similar, but very different devices: Bluetooth transmitters and Bluetooth receivers.

A Bluetooth transmitter is anything you add on to a device to send out a Bluetooth signal to something else. In our case, this would be sending the audio signal from whatever is playing your music to your Bluetooth headphones. Bluetooth receivers, meanwhile, allow things like cars to receive audio from a Bluetooth device, like your smartphone, by connecting to an auxiliary port.

While there are some dongles out there that may be able to do both, you’ll want to avoid anything that is labeled purely as a Bluetooth receiver. That said, there’s no shortage of Bluetooth transmitters out there to choose from.

Picking a Bluetooth transmitter

Depending on how you plan to use the device you’re adding Bluetooth to, there are a couple of different options to choose from. For an old MP3 player, you’ll likely want something fairly portable. If you want to add Bluetooth to a TV or home stereo, you can go for something a bit bulkier that will sit stationary but provide a more powerful signal.

For something that packs a lot of capabilities into a small package, the ZIIDOO Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter and receiver is a solid choice. It offers the flexibility to be used as both a transmitter and receiver, depending on what you need, in a small package.

As an added bonus, it’s built with Bluetooth 5.0, which comes with some added benefits for soundhounds. Namely, it supports the aptX wireless audio codec, which drastically reduces latency. You’ll need a set of earbuds or headphones that also support aptX to take advantage of it, but it’s a great thing to have.
