Nowadays, Bluetooth speakers are the most common way to jam to your favorite music and enjoy your time. Bluetooth technology has helped a lot in secure connectivity to an extensive range of devices such as smartphones, laptops, iPhones, and tablets. However, as every technology has its pros, it also has cons and not every appliance is 100% efficient. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to pair a Bluetooth speaker to the selected device. Even though almost every Bluetooth speaker comes with a guide, it can be perplexing at times. To help you out with this, I have reviewed some top brand’s Bluetooth speakers and will share how to reset Bluetooth speakers and connect them easily.

GENERAL BLUETOOTH SPEAKER RESETTING:

Almost every Bluetooth speaker has similar properties and can be connected to the devices in the same way. To factory reset your speaker, you should follow the following steps:

First of all, check if your speaker is turned on or off.

Make sure that all the previously paired devices are disconnected. In iOS settings, remove the speaker by tapping on the name Bluetooth speaker and then forget the speaker. For android devices, unpair by simply clicking on the name of the device.

To reset the speaker, press and hold the Bluetooth and power button (sometimes it can be interchanged with volume button) at the same time for a couple of seconds, up to 15 seconds. 

This step resets the speaker to factory settings, and the speaker will be ready to pair when turned on.

WHY BLUETOOTH CONNECTION FAILS AND HOW CAN WE FIX IT?

Bluetooth connection or pairing may fail due to some malfunction in hardware or software. The Bluetooth connection can fail due to different reasons and mostly can be fixed easily. The most common causes of Bluetooth failures could be interference, compatibility, and obstructions. Before pairing Bluetooth to devices, check if the two are compatible. 

To connect the Bluetooth speaker to your desired device, ensure that both of the devices are placed close to each other. Because most Bluetooth devices have a certain range in which it can transmit signals to other connected devices. Even then, if the speaker faces difficulty connecting, check if it has enough battery as some devices have trouble connecting when the battery is running low. Before connecting the speaker to the phone, make sure both devices are discoverable. Go to the phone’s settings and click the Bluetooth option and make it visible, then turn on the speaker and press the Bluetooth button to set it into Bluetooth mode. 

Another thing that can cause a problem in connecting the Bluetooth is excessive wifi connections or radio signals, as any electronic device can face interference if there are unnecessary and too many signals. Try to remove all the extra signals from the area or change the location of the speaker.  Lastly, if you are looking for cheap alternatives check our guide of best Bluetooth speakers under 30 dollars and you can find something cool without needing to spend too much.
