Enabling Jlab Earbuds Pairing Mode

When you enable the pairing mode of your Jlab earbuds, it becomes discoverable by nearby devices. However, since there are two major types of Jlab earbuds, turning on pairing mode can be slightly different. 

True Wireless Earbuds

The true wireless earbuds include; Jbuds Air, Go Air Pop, Jbuds Executive, Jbuds Air Sport, Go Air Tones, and Epic Air Sport. You can turn on pairing mode on these devices by: 

  1. Long-press on the multifunction button for about 3 seconds. 
  2. Though, for Jlab earbuds models without multifunction buttons, detaching the buds from their charging case automatically places them in pairing modes. 
  3. After 3 seconds of holding, the left bud will show white LED light. The right bud will make bling alternatively between blue and white light. 
  4. Though, for models like Epic Air Elite, both left and right buds will blink white and blue LED lights. In addition, the Go Air Po will give an additional voice prompt. 

Wireless Earbuds

The wireless earbuds include; Jbuds Elite, Fit 2.0, Fit Sport 3, Jbuds Pro, and Fit Sport. You can turn on pairing mode on these devices by:

  1. Long-press on the multifunction button for about 10 seconds
  2. After long pressing the multifunction button, you should see the red and blue light blinking.

Now, you’re ready to pair your Jlab earbuds to whatever device you use.
