To connect Avantree Bluetooth headphones to iPhone, enable Bluetooth on your iPhone and put your Avantree headphones into pairing mode. These two core actions allow your devices to discover and pair with each other for wireless audio.
How to connect Avantree Bluetooth headphones to iPhone
Step 1: Turn on Bluetooth on your iPhone
- Unlock your iPhone.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Bluetooth.
- Toggle Bluetooth on.
Your iPhone must be within about 33 feet (10 meters) of the headphones during pairing for a successful connection.
Step 2: Activate pairing mode on your Avantree headphones
Power on the headphones. For first-time use, some models enter pairing mode automatically. If the headphones do not enter pairing mode automatically, press and hold the pairing button until the LED flashes red and blue. Some Avantree models may require pressing and holding both volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously to enter pairing mode. This flashing red and blue light confirms the headphones are discoverable.
Step 3: Connect the headphones to your iPhone
- On the iPhone Bluetooth screen, look for your Avantree headphone name under the device list.
- Tap the headphone name when it appears.
- If prompted for a passcode, enter 0000.
After pairing, select the headphones as the audio source if you have multiple Bluetooth devices paired. On the Bluetooth device information page, look for an 'Audio Routing' option and set it to 'Bluetooth' to ensure audio is routed through the headphones.
Troubleshooting connection problems
If the headphones do not appear, confirm they are in pairing mode with a flashing red and blue LED. Stay within 33 feet of the iPhone. Power cycle the headphones by turning them off and back on. Turn Bluetooth off on any other previously paired devices nearby, then retry the pairing process. If a passcode is requested, use 0000. Check for software/firmware updates for the headphones to fix audio lag issues. Some Avantree models have different audio modes for music and video/audio playback, which can affect audio lag. For model-specific issues, consult the product support guide for that particular Avantree model, as pairing steps and button timing vary.
