Wireless earbuds from OnePlus feature noise reduction, a long battery life, quick charging, and many more features. They can be associated with other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but they are made to operate perfectly with OnePlus phones. This post will demonstrate how to pair OnePlus Buds with any gadget, including PCs, iPhones, Android phones, and anything in between. After pairing, we’ll also provide you with some usage instructions and troubleshooting pointers for your OnePlus Buds.

How to pair OnePlus Buds with an Android phone using Google Fast Pair

Using Google Fast Pair, a feature that allows you to connect Bluetooth devices with a single touch, is one of the quickest and simplest methods to pair OnePlus Buds with an Android phone. Google Fast Pair is available for users with Android 6.0 or later, or with Google Play 11.7. Use it as follows:

• Turn on Bluetooth on your Android phone.
• Open the lid of the OnePlus Buds charging case without removing the earbuds. If you are using the earphones for the first time, pairing mode will be activated automatically. If not, you’ll have to manually press and hold the button on the case for a few seconds until you see the LED indicator flashing white.
• Hold your phone near the charging case. You should see a pop-up window on your phone’s screen that shows the name and image of your OnePlus Buds.
• Tap Connect in the pop-up window. Your phone will establish a Bluetooth connection with your OnePlus Buds and download any updates or settings if needed.
• You can now enjoy listening to music or making calls with your OnePlus Buds.

Make sure your phone is compatible with Google Fast Pair, has Bluetooth turned on, is connected to the internet, and has the most recent version of the Google Play service installed if you don’t see the pop-up window on your screen. Restarting the device or repositioning it closer to the charging case may also help.

How to pair OnePlus Buds with a device that doesn’t support Google Fast Pair

Don’t worry if your gadget doesn’t support Google Fast Pair. The regular Bluetooth pairing process will still work for connecting your OnePlus Buds. It may be anything from an iPhone to an older Android phone, a tablet, a laptop, or anything else with Bluetooth capabilities. The procedure is as follows:

• Turn on Bluetooth on your device.
• Go to your device’s Bluetooth settings and make sure that it is visible or discoverable by other devices.
• Open the lid of the OnePlus Buds charging case without removing the earbuds. Press and hold the button on the case for about 2 seconds until you see the LED indicator flashing white.
• On your device’s Bluetooth settings, look for OnePlus Buds in the list of available devices and select it. Enter 0000 if your device asks for a password.
• Your device will pair with your OnePlus Buds, and you can start using them.

Make sure your phone has sufficient battery life, Bluetooth is turned on, and you are within 10 meters of the charging case if you are having trouble finding or connecting to your OnePlus Buds using your device’s Bluetooth settings. You may also try rebooting your smartphone or your OnePlus Buds if it doesn’t work.

How to pair OnePlus Buds with a PC (Windows)

A Bluetooth adapter or a built-in Bluetooth module on your Windows PC is required for pairing the OnePlus Buds with your computer. For optimal compatibility, you’ll also need Windows 10 or later. How to pair your OnePlus Buds with a computer running Windows is as follows:

• Turn on Bluetooth on your PC. You can do this by clicking on the Start menu, then Settings, then Devices, then Bluetooth and Other Devices. Turn on Bluetooth by activating its switch.
• Open the lid of the OnePlus Buds charging case without removing the earbuds. Press and hold the button on the case for about 2 seconds until you see the LED indicator flashing white.
• On your PC’s Bluetooth settings, click on Add Bluetooth or Other device. Then, click on Bluetooth.
• Your PC will scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. Look for OnePlus Buds in the list and click on it. Your PC will pair with your OnePlus Buds and install any drivers or updates if needed.
• You can now use your OnePlus Buds with your PC for listening to music, watching videos, playing games, or making calls.

If you’re having issues connecting or utilizing your OnePlus Buds with a computer, check that it is Bluetooth-enabled, online, running the most recent version of Windows, and compatible with the headphones. You may also try switching the default output device to your OnePlus Buds or restarting your computer.
