The proximity pairing (Proximity discovery) feature is supported only when the PC is installed with the latest version of PC Manager. For details, see Using Proximity discovery on my PC to quickly connect to multiple devices.
When HUAWEI earbuds are paired with a HUAWEI PC, only proximity pairing is supported. The earbuds card cannot be displayed in PC Manager.
Feature descriptions
- Currently, only the HD image is supported on iOS devices.
- When the earbuds are connected to a HUAWEI device and you are playing music, making calls, or playing videos on the device, opening the charging case to reconnect the device will not pop up the prompt. Instead, only the connection capsule will pop up at the top to prevent the prompt from blocking the screen.
- When the HUAWEI WATCH Buds earbuds are connected to a PC, the prompt displays the battery levels of the earbuds and watch.
- If "LOSSLESS" is displayed at the bottom of the prompt, it indicates that the earbuds support CD-level lossless audio transmission bit rate. For details, see HD audio quality or lossless audio quality settings on my HUAWEI earbuds.
