Pairing your JLab earbuds with your iPhone is a straightforward process, but slight variations exist depending on your specific JLab model. This guide covers the general process and addresses common troubleshooting issues. Whether you have JLab JBuds Pro, JLab Epic Air, or another model, the core principles remain the same.
Getting Started: Preparation is Key
Before you begin pairing, ensure the following:
- Earbuds Charged: Low battery can interfere with the pairing process. Charge your earbuds fully before attempting to connect.
- Bluetooth Enabled: Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your iPhone's settings.
- Earbuds in Pairing Mode: This usually involves placing the earbuds in their charging case (if applicable), then pressing and holding a button on the case or earbuds themselves. Consult your JLab earbuds' user manual for the specific instructions for your model. This often involves a sequence of button presses, sometimes accompanied by a light indicator change. The manual will show you the exact method.

Open your iPhone's Bluetooth Settings: Go to your iPhone's Settings app, then tap "Bluetooth."
