It paired automatically with no problem. Really enjoy using this. Been using my squat rack for several weeks and has been great! Poor quality construction and cheap materials. I highly recommend them if you are in the market for headphones that arent wireless. I purchased these for my son to replace a pair that he had literally worn out. I went to my dads house and he had a similar pair he got from the nike store and they fit much better but his are a size 11. A little big for my 12 yr old girls wrist but know that it wont connect to Cricket wireless phones. They are light and comfortable. There is a lot of padding on the band and earcups, which has made these pretty comfortable even for longer listening sessions.
