JBL offers a wide range of Bluetooth devices, including headphones, speakers, and earbuds. Connecting them to your phone, computer, or other devices may seem confusing at first, especially with features like JBL PartyBoost, but there’s no need to worry. This guide will explain how to connect your JBL products to various devices with ease.

Quick Overview

To pair JBL Bluetooth headphones, speakers, or earbuds with your device, the first step is to put them into pairing mode. For JBL headphones and earbuds, turning them on for the first time automatically activates this mode. If you’re connecting them to a new device, you can press and hold the power button for about five seconds or, in the case of earbuds, tap and hold one of the buds for five seconds. For JBL speakers, simply turn on the device and press the Bluetooth button to initiate pairing mode. Once the device is in pairing mode, it can be linked with your chosen device.

Activating Pairing Mode on JBL Devices

Before using your JBL headphones, earbuds, or speakers, it’s important to know how to enable pairing mode. The process can vary depending on the specific model, but the general steps are straightforward.

For JBL Headphones: When you first switch on your JBL headphones, they automatically enter pairing mode. If you need to re-enable pairing mode at a later time, switch off the headphones first. Then, press and hold the power button for about five seconds. The LED indicator will start flashing blue, which signals that the device is ready to pair.

For JBL Earbuds: Many JBL earbuds, such as the JBL Tune 230NC TWS, will automatically enter pairing mode when you open the charging case or remove a bud from the case. If this doesn’t happen, you can manually trigger pairing mode by tapping and holding one of the earbuds for about five seconds. The left or right earbud is usually specified for this action, depending on the model, so it’s a good idea to refer to your product manual for the correct procedure.

For JBL Speakers: To pair a JBL speaker, such as the JBL Flip 6, the process is equally simple. Turn on the speaker, then press the Bluetooth button to enable pairing mode. The Bluetooth symbol should light up or flash, indicating the speaker is ready to connect to your chosen device.

By following these steps, you can easily pair your JBL headphones, earbuds, or speakers with your phone, computer, or any other compatible device, ensuring a seamless listening experience.
