How to Pair JBL Earbuds
Thanks to Bluetooth technology, these headphones can be paired with most modern playback devices. Pairing them to any device starts with turning Bluetooth modes on for both the playback device and earphones. On one of the sides of the pair comes a Bluetooth button. Press this button for three seconds until the light begins flashing. Now, find, select, and pair the respective devices with the JBL earbuds to establish the connection.
This is the general procedure to connect JBL earbuds to a device. In the latter section, we have separately described the procedure for each device such as laptops, android, etc.
