Many people want better sound when playing music, watching videos, or joining calls on their phones. Whether you are a student, professional, or just someone who loves music, knowing how to connect your phone to a speaker with Bluetooth makes life easier.

You might want loud sound for a party, better clarity in online meetings, or a richer movie experience. For example, playing your playlist at a picnic is more fun when connected to a speaker. In fact, surveys show that Bluetooth speakers are used by over 60% of people during outdoor activities.

If you plan to buy a Bluetooth speaker, start by checking your loan eligibility. It helps you plan your budget and explore the right options. Once you know your budget, check out the latest models on Bajaj Mall. Then visit one of Bajaj Finserv’s 1.5 lakh partner stores in over 4,000 cities. With Easy EMIs and zero down payment on select models, bringing home a speaker is simple and stress-free.

Different ways to connect speakers to phones

There are two main ways to connect speakers to your phone:

  • Bluetooth connection: Most modern speakers and smartphones support Bluetooth. It is wireless, simple, and perfect for daily use. You can use it for music, movies, calls, or games. It is also ideal for outdoor use as no cables are needed.
  • Wired connection: If you prefer a direct link, you can use a 3.5 mm AUX cable or USB cable. It offers stable sound quality and is good when Bluetooth is not available or the battery is low.

Step-by-step guide to connect a Bluetooth speaker

Here is how to connect phone to speaker with Bluetooth.

  1. Turn on the Bluetooth speaker and put it in pairing mode. Check your speaker’s manual if needed.
  2. On your phone, go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth.
  3. Wait for your phone to search for nearby devices.
  4. Tap the speaker name when it appears in the list.
  5. A message may appear to confirm pairing. Accept it.
  6. Once connected, you will see a "Connected" message.
  7. Play music or a video to check the connection.

Your phone is now connected, and sound will play through the speaker.

Using wired connections - Aux and USB

Some users prefer wired connections for steady audio. Here are the steps.

  • Using an AUX cable (3.5 mm)
    • Plug one end of the AUX cable into the headphone jack of your phone.
    • Plug the other end into the speaker’s AUX input.
    • Turn on the speaker. Sound will now play through it.
    • You can control the volume from either the speaker or your phone.
    • This method is useful when you want to avoid Bluetooth or save battery.
  • Using a USB cable
    • Some speakers allow USB connections, especially portable ones.
    • Plug the USB cable into your phone and the other end into the speaker.
    • Your phone may ask for permission to share audio. Tap “Allow”.
    • This option also helps charge your speaker at the same time.

Wired options are useful when Bluetooth is unavailable or when a stable signal is needed.

Troubleshooting connection problems

If your phone does not connect to the speaker, try these steps.

  • Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your phone.
  • Check if the speaker is in pairing mode.
  • Restart your phone and the speaker.
  • Move the speaker closer to the phone.
  • Remove old connections in Bluetooth settings and pair again.
  • Update your phone’s software if needed.

These steps usually fix most connection problems.
