JLab is one of the many companies making wireless earbuds nowadays. Commonly mixed up with JBL, JLab is a budget-friendly manufacturer that puts more emphasis on the bass in their earbuds than most other brands on the market.
So for those opening up their brand new set of Bluetooth compatible earbuds, they might feel a bit overwhelmed at how to successfully pair the product with the device of their choice. Thankfully, the process is relatively painless regardless of which JLab product you own.
To start, you will wanna make sure you identify your product, as certain headphones have a different pairing method than others. Once you do, it’s as simple as following the brief guide below.
To make sure you have all your bases covered, we will be going over each product difference and the smart devices you will pair them with.
By the end of this article, you should have comfortably connected your earbuds and will have the information to pair them to any other piece of tech in the future.
JLab earbuds come in True Wireless, Wireless, and Headphones. Let’s discuss how to pair earbuds from all three branches of JLab products.
Pairing Your Earbuds (True Wireless, Wireless, Headphones)
True Wireless Earbuds
The pairing process for these earbuds is going to be somewhat unconventional and not what you are used to, though the steps are still simple enough.
- Remove the earbuds from their charging case and locate the stickers on the back of each bud.
- Peel off the sticker to reveal the power button or touch sensor.
- Hold down both power buttons until the left earbud has a white light and the right earbud has a blinking blue and white light.
- In the dropdown Bluetooth menu of your preferred device, locate and select the JLab Earbuds.
- There will be an audio queue as well as two white lights on both earbuds to signify that you have successfully connected your earbuds.
Wireless Earbuds
If you have Wireless JLab earbuds, the following directions will help you successfully connect to a Bluetooth device.
- On the preferred device you wish to connect to, Toggle on the Bluetooth option.
- On your earbuds menu (This will have an Up and Down arrow as well as a middle power button between the arrows) hold down the middle power button for ten seconds.
- If you did this correctly, a light will alternate between red and blue (below the Down Arrow) to signify that you are in pairing mode.
- Choose your JLab wireless earbuds from the Bluetooth dropdown menu on your device.
- If done correctly, the light at the bottom of your earbud menu will slowly blink blue. If so, you have successfully paired your earbuds.
Headphones
A good rule of thumb to know if your JLab headphones are indeed headphones, check to see if they fit over the entirety of your ear or fasten around your ear. If so, then they are indeed headphones and will pair successfully with the steps below.
- On your designated pairing device, turn on Bluetooth settings.
- Locate the power button, which should be directly next to the charging port.
- Hold the power button for 10 seconds until it begins to emit a red and blue light.
- From your device, select your JLab headphones from the Bluetooth dropdown menu.
- An audio prompt and a blue light on the power button will notify you that your device is successfully connected.
Connecting Your JLab Earbuds to Smart Devices
If you still find that getting your device to connect to your earbuds is not working, scroll down until the device you are looking for is mentioned. Due to the variation in JLab products, it may be necessary to follow the above directions and then scroll down to the devices below.
For the sake of not confusing readers, we will not be specifying each category of earbud below but rather we will continue under the assumption that your device is already in pairing mode.
