However, a common method for most wireless headphones is to press and hold the power button or a dedicated pairing button until a light or indicator starts flashing.
Make sure that your headphones are sufficiently charged before attempting to pair them with the TV. If the battery level is low, you may encounter difficulties during the pairing process or experience intermittent audio connections. It’s recommended to charge the headphones fully before initiating the pairing process.
If your wireless headphones have a dedicated app, consider installing it on your smartphone or tablet. Some headphone apps provide additional features and customization options that can enhance your listening experience. Take a moment to explore the app and familiarize yourself with its settings.

The process of activating pairing mode may vary depending on the headphones you own. Generally, you can activate pairing mode by pressing and holding the dedicated pairing button or the power button. Refer to your headphone’s user manual for specific instructions on how to activate pairing mode.
When the headphones are in pairing mode, an LED light may start flashing or an audio prompt may indicate that the headphones are ready to be connected. The exact method of indication will vary between headphone models, so ensure that you are familiar with your specific headphone’s pairing indications.
If you are unsure about how to activate pairing mode on your headphones, a quick search online or consulting the user manual can provide you with the necessary information.
Now that you’ve successfully activated pairing mode on your wireless headphones, it’s time to proceed to the next step: turning on your Samsung QLED TV.
