A:AnswerYou need to pair them with the bluetooth setting on your phone. Go into settings on your phone and click on your bluetooth setting and then click scan. Once it finds your item it will ask you if you want to pair and say yes. Also make sure to search and see if these are compatible with an S8+. Go on the Best Buy app and you search these ear buds & search compatible items by typing in your brand of phone and it will give you a list. Good Luck
A:AnswerI have been able to connect to all Apple products no problem as well as my Surface. One problem I noticed is you can only be connected to one device at a time, and sometimes the connection transfer from one device to the other can be difficult. I turn off blue tooth from the device I don't want it connected to so it will "ready to pair" to all other available devices. I hope this helps.
A:AnswerYou can use your phone and the ear piece to control volume. The ear buds do have a little light on the bottom of the ear bud while in use. I try to go to bed with these on, in complete darkness, but my son sees the light on and will start asking about it. I gotta take them off or maybe just put a tiny piece of tape or something over the pinhole sized light.
