When it comes to audio, Monoprice is the king of bang-for-your-buck value.
How do you pair mono price headphones with Bluetooth?Â

How long do wireless headphone batteries last?Â
Larger headphones typically have longer battery life. Most wireless earbuds have five to six-hour battery life on a single charge; however, several high-end headphones have a daylong battery life rating.Â
How long do Bluetooth over-ear headphones last?Â
Bluetooth headsets can last longer with a battery life up to 6 to 12 hours with a single charge. If you go with a premium brand of Bluetooth headphones, you’ll likely get a battery life between 20 and 22 hours of battery life with a single charge.Â
Is Monoprice a manufacturer?Â
Monoprice is an American online retailer that sells generic-branded consumer electronics under its namesake private label, as well as name-brand consumer electronics and outdoor equipment. The company is based in Rancho Cucamonga, California.Â
How does Bluetooth headset work?Â
Simply put, Bluetooth uses short-range radio waves to send and receive data between two devices. The short-range nature of the signal prevents constant overlap or interference from other signals, though interference is still possible. It’s also why your signal cuts out when you walk too far away from the audio source.Â
Which Bluetooth headset has the best battery life?Â
Sony WF-1000XM4. Despite being launched in 2021, Sony’s WF-1000XM4 continues to offer some of the strongest battery life we’ve seen from a pair of wireless earbuds. These buds give you up to 8 hours with ANC on, which can be extended to 12 hours when switched off.Â
How do you pair Monoprice earbuds?Â
Remove both Earphones from the Charging Case. The Earphones will pair with each other automatically. The LED Indicators will alternately flash red and blue while pairing is in progress.
