When your new earbuds arrive, take a moment to figure out how to pair them with all of your devices so that you can use them seamlessly with your phone, computer, tablet or even a smartwatch. Wired earbuds must have a compatible connection option, but wireless earbuds, which are the most common design now, simply need to pair via a wireless technology like Bluetooth. Consider reviewing this guide for connecting AirPods. You can use the same steps to connect most earbuds and devices.
One thing to keep in mind if you have chosen wireless earbuds is that you will need to keep them powered up. They cannot draw their energy from your smartphone or other device like wired models do. So, be sure to store them in their case and recharge them between uses.
You will also want to follow all manufacturer directions about how to properly care for and clean your earbuds so that they last. Regularly cleaning them with a soft, dry cloth and storing them in their case when not in use can prevent damage and keep them performing at their best.
