How to connect Bluetooth headphones
For starters, it’s worth noting that Wear OS watches only contact other accessories via bluetooth. They do not support devices with ANT + wireless technology.
It is also worth considering that the procedure for connecting smart watches (like R500 Gold or others) and headphones may differ depending on the version of the operating system installed in the watch phone. It is better to install “fresh” OS updates, so that there are no difficulties when synchronizing 2 devices.
And the last point: it is worth clarifying which version of Bluetooth the headphones / headset can work with. Let’s say the EO-MG900 device is compatible with all gadgets with Bluetooth version 3.0 and higher.
We finished with the recommendations, it’s time to find out how to connect bluetooth headphones to a smart watch.
Preparing the headphones
What should be done:
- Recharging– we plug one end of the USB cable into the corresponding socket of the accessory, the other into the USB port of a PC or power bank . We are waiting for the charge level to reach at least 40%, so that the device does not turn off during pairing.
- Turn on– hold down the power key on the headphone / headset case, or a separate Bluetooth pairing key (depending on the model). The fact that the device is ready for work will be notified by a sound or light signal.
This completes the preparation of bluetooth accessories, let’s move on to the watch phone.

It remains to wait a couple of seconds until the smartwatch detects the bluetooth accessory.
