Optimizing Audio Experience on Your iPhone 11: Using Headphones for Sound and Built-in Mic for Calls
Are you struggling with the microphone quality of your Bluetooth headphones during phone calls? If you’re using a pair of Anker Slimbuds and find that their mic isn’t meeting your expectations, you might be wondering how to retain the audio enjoyment from your headphones while utilizing your iPhone 11’s superior built-in microphone for conversations.
Fortunately, there are a few strategies to achieve this. Although iPhone settings don’t provide a straightforward way to switch between microphones while using Bluetooth audio devices, you can still circumvent this limitation with a few handy tips.
-
Connection Options: Start by connecting your Anker Slimbuds to your iPhone as usual, enabling you to listen to music or other audio.
-
Make a Call: When you’re ready to make a call, you can initially place the call using your connected Bluetooth headphones. During the call, be attentive to the sound quality. If you find it lacking, you can switch the audio source.
-
Switching the Microphone: While on the call, you can switch to your iPhone’s built-in microphone. To do so, simply disconnect the Bluetooth headphones (either manually or by turning them off) during the call. This will automatically switch the audio input and output to your phone’s internal mic and speakers.
-
Hands-free Alternatives: If you prefer not to disconnect your headphones entirely, consider using the speakerphone function during calls, allowing you to utilize the built-in mic while your headphones stay connected for listening.
-
Experimentation: Finally, each headset may behave differently based on compatibility with iOS. It might be helpful to test out the various settings or even explore different headphone models if sound quality for calls is paramount.
By following these steps, you can enhance your calling experience without sacrificing your listening pleasure. Whether it’s for work or personal conversations, ensuring a clear microphone while enjoying high-quality audio can significantly improve how you communicate. Happy calling!
