Connect a Bluetooth handsfree or stereo headset

For handsfree phone conversations, you can use a Bluetooth handsfree headset such as a car kit with your phone.

Your phone also supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which is for stereo audio over Bluetooth. This means that you can use a Bluetooth stereo headset with your phone for handsfree phone conversations as well as for listening to stereo music. Make sure that your stereo headset also supports A2DP.

Just like when connecting to any Bluetooth device, you also need to enter a passkey when connecting to a Bluetooth handsfree or stereo headset. The passkey is fixed and cannot be changed on a Bluetooth headset. Before you connect it with your phone, check for the proper passkey in the manufacturer’s documentation.
