Всем привет. Вопрос: как подключить AirPods к iPhone, часто встречается в сети, но внятного ответа нет. А потому, настал момент разобраться с сопряжением аксессуара с мобильной техникой, и с настройкой элементов управления, и с особенностями, появляющимися при воспроизведении контента. Также рассмотрим проблемы, когда беспроводные наушники не подключаются.
Содержание
- Как подключить AirPods к iPhone
- Воспроизведение музыки через AirPods
- Что делать если они не подключаются?
- Задать вопрос автору статьи
Перед сопряжением и предварительной настройкой AirPods разработчики из Apple рекомендуют обновить программное обеспечение на iPhone. Наушники 1-го поколения совместимы с iOS 10,2-го поколения – с iOS 12.2, а AirPods Pro – с 13.2. Схожим образом придется позаботиться об iPad, iPod Touch и Nano.
Без загрузки апдейтов полная работоспособность беспроводного аксессуара не гарантируется, но и не исключается.
Актуальные версии iOS доступны в «Настройках», в разделе «Основные» и подпункте «Обновление ПО». Как действовать дальше – подскажет пошаговая инструкция:
- Перейти на экран «Домой» на iPhone, расположить «Эйрподс» рядом и открыть кейс с наушниками внутри.
- На экране iPhone сразу появится предложение «Подключить» новый аксессуар. Если заставка не появилась, то на задней крышке кейса придется нажать и удерживать кнопку для активации сопряжения.
- После подключения наушников стоит заглянуть в настройки Bluetooth, а уже оттуда – перейти к параметрам AirPods. Список доступных для изменения опций зависит непосредственно от версии аксессуара.
На Айрподс 1-го поколения предусмотрена смена жестов – двойное касание по правому или левому наушнику поможет сменить трек или поставить воспроизведение на паузу. На 2-ой версии появился вызов голосового ассистента Siri. На Airpods Pro – контроль активного шумоподавления.
Воспроизведение музыки через AirPods
Беспроводные наушники Apple придерживаются ряда концепций при воспроизведении музыки, аудиокниг и просмотре медиаконтента. Если достать беспроводные наушники из кейса и вставить в уши, то звук начнет автоматически передаваться на аксессуар, минуя стандартный динамик. Сигнал перехватывается почти молниеносно, причем без дополнительного посещения настроек, да еще и между разной мобильной техникой – компьютерами Mac, планшетами iPad или часами Apple Watch.
Если при воспроизведении достать один наушник AirPods из уха, то текущая аудиодорожка или даже видеоролик останется на паузе. Если достать оба – воспроизведение приостановится, но возобновится вновь, если вернуть аксессуар в уши в течение 15 секунд.
Для ручного управления источником звука разработчики предлагают использовать специальный значок:
Встречающийся и в родном музыкальном плеере на iPhone, iPad или iPod Touch, и в сторонних развлекательных сервисах, вроде YouTube или Twitch.
При обращении к значку появится возможность выбрать источник воспроизведения – аксессуар или динамик.
Что делать если они не подключаются?
- Перезапустите смартфон, планшет, MAC-бук или часы.
- Проверьте, что наушники заряжены.
- Ещё раз попробуйте сопрячь гарнитуру, использовав кнопку сопряжения – зажмите её на 5 секунд.
- Обновите операционную систему устройства.
- Из крайних случаев – сделать жесткий сброс до заводских настроек на iPhone или iPad.
Как вариант, проверьте наушники на другом устройстве. Если проблема будет сохраняться, то значит есть поломка в самих «ушах» и их следует отнести в ремонт.
