JBL is a brand known for its high-performance audio listening selection. If you have a pair of JBL earbuds and an iPhone, you can easily connect the devices by following the steps below.

Enable Bluetooth on Your iPhone

When you purchase a pair of JBL earbuds, there is an easy first step to make when you want to connect them to your iPhone. Go to your phone and enable Bluetooth to be able to find the JBL earbuds and connect to them

To turn Bluetooth on, you can swipe to access the control center on your iPhone, where you will see the Bluetooth symbol. Tap on it and you will see that it turns blue. This means that Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone.

You can also access Bluetooth options by going to Settings, then to Bluetooth. Toggle it from off to on to make sure your phone is now discoverable via Bluetooth.

Enable Bluetooth on Your JBL Earbuds

Once your iPhone is ready to be connected via Bluetooth, you will have to do the same with your JBL earbuds. To get them ready to easily connect, reach for the case that plays home to your earbuds.

Take the right JBL earbud out of the case. You will see a button on the side of the earbud. This is the Bluetooth activation button. Once pressed, this button will flash, which will show that it is ready to be connected via Bluetooth to a different device.

Connect the JBL Earbuds on iPhone

Once Bluetooth has been enabled on both devices, you should return to your iPhone. Open your Bluetooth settings either by long pressing on the Bluetooth icon in the control center or by going to Settings, then Bluetooth.

You will see a list of devices that are ready to easily connect to your iPhone through Bluetooth. Select the JBL earbuds from the list and wait for the two devices to pair up. Once they are paired, you will see the word ‘connected’ under the JBL earbuds on the list.

The process will be complete and you will be able to listen to your JBL earbuds on your iPhone. Unless otherwise specified, your JBL earbuds will also connect automatically to your iPhone whenever they are out of the case and whenever Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.

Connect Your Second Earbud to iPhone

Once the Bluetooth connection is established between the JBL earbuds and the iPhone, you should bring the second earbud, the left one, out of the case too. It will automatically pair with the iPhone once the first one has been connected.

This will make it easy to connect both JBL earbuds to iPhone, even if you change your phone or if you invest in a new pair of earbuds.

Check the Proximity

If you are experiencing issues with connectivity, you may have your devices spaced too far apart. This can be a common problem if your iPhone and your earbuds are in different rooms, for example. If they are too far from each other, the Bluetooth connectivity will be lost and the devices won’t be able to pair.

It is essential especially during the first pairing to bring your JBL earbuds and your iPhone in the same space.

Hold the Middle Button on the Earbuds

You may notice that the pairing is not working between the JBL earbuds and the iPhone. If this happens, you should hold the middle button on the right earbud for five seconds. This will turn the earbuds fully off.

When you turn the earbuds back on, they should automatically connect with the iPhone as it will reset the pairing between the devices.

Keep Your Battery Case Charged

The battery case that houses the JBL earbuds will keep them charged. You should always make sure that the case itself does not get depleted. If that happens, the Bluetooth connection between the earbuds and the iPhone may not work.

To ensure that the Bluetooth connection between the iPhone and the earbuds remains stable, always check the level of the batteries. If you want to do this on the iPhone, all you need to do is swipe and access the control center.

Once you’re there, you will be able to see the battery level of the earbuds. This will show you if they have been charging correctly in the case. If you notice they haven’t, check the LED indicators on the charging case. Some models will have more than one LED indicator, but in case of low battery one of them at least will always flash white.

Conclusion

JBL earbuds can be easily connected to the iPhone through several easy steps. This straightforward connection may only require some slight troubleshooting, but will usually happen without much hassle. This will then allow you to enjoy the music on your iPhone through your JBL earbuds.
