Pairing your headset with a Smartphone Step 1: Put the headphones into pairing mode ![]() Please note that this method lets you connect your headphones to any device, even your smart TV. We have tried to explain in simple steps on how to pair any MPOW wireless headphones quickly and easily. Though it is an easy process, sometimes the pairing could be messy or troublesome. Thanks to Mpow and Patuoxun for the review iSnap X Self-portait Monopod.WhatsApp Facebook Pinterest Twitter Linkedin RedditĪfter reading our review of MPOW H12 and MPOW H17, users have been asking us about how to pair these MPOW headphones with a smartphone or laptop. It’s a bit more for the pink and blue versions but whatever the colour, it’s money well spent. The iSnap X is available from .uk for GB£8.99 for the black version. It’s well made and grips the phone with confidence, which is exactly what you want when sticking a £400 smartphone on the end of a 3ft stick. Overall, the Mpow iSnap X seems to be the ideal selfie stick. I’ve no idea how many photos between charges – I’ve had the stick for two weeks and haven’t had to recharge. In the end of the handle, there’s a micro USB port for charging the iSnap X and a tangle-free (flat) USB to micro-USB cable is provided in the box. Windows Phone and Blackberry are apparently not. The instructions suggest holding down the button to take video perhaps this works with Apple phones. YMMV, as they say but the compatibility list indicates Samsung, Motorola, Nexus and Apple phones should work. Video was a little different, with a single click working on the OnePlus 2, but the Nexus 4 needed a double click. I used both a Nexus 4 and OnePlus 2 to test and they worked fine with still pictures. Once done, pressing the blue “M” button on the handle simultaneously presses the shutter on the camera. Pairing is straightforward: hold down the “M” button for three seconds and then choose the iSnap X from within the Bluetooth settings on the smartphone. The iSnap X uses Bluetooth for remote control of the camera shutter. The thumb screw on the mount seems fairly solid but the position is held only by friction. There’s an interlocking groove in the extension to ensure that the mount stays in the upright position. The telescopic extension is tight, with little play once fully extended and it seems screwed into the handle rather than only using plastic clips. The Mpow iSnap X feels reassuringly well made. The grips are angled inwards to ensure that any phone is held firmly and I tried a range of phones from the Nexus 4 through to the OnePlus 2 without any concerns as to loss. ![]() The spring is good and strong, but the rubber coating will stop the grips marking the phone. At the other end, the mount has sprung-loaded grips that hold phones 55 mm wide up to 85mm. The handle is covered in a soft touch rubber coating which easy to grip and there’s a wrist lanyard for extra security. Including arms, that means the smartphone will be sitting a little over 1 metre or 3½ feet from the person holding the stick. Starting with the physical aspects, folded up the iSnap X measures 187 mm (or 7½”) long and extending the telescopic pole will take it to 723 mm (or 2’4½”). Easy-to-use, well made, holds the smartphone securely and the remote trigger works. I’ve seen and used a couple of self sticks in my time, some of which were utter rubbish, but fortunately the Mpow iSnap X is the best I’ve used so far as it ticks all the boxes. Personally, I like selfie sticks though I fully admit that there are some right idiots out there who shouldn’t be let anywhere near a knife and fork, never mind a three foot long pole with a small weight on the end. Officially this is the “Mpow iSnap X Bluetooth Self-Portrait Monopod” but everyone will recognise it as a selfie stick, not a self-portrait monopod.
