With a wireless connection, the cord doesn't get in the way, and it's convenient to put it in your bag and work on the move. Also, if you have earphones that can be connected via Bluetooth, you can enjoy music without worrying about the cord while working. This time, we will introduce how to set the Bluetooth connection of the iPad and recommended wireless terminals.

When the operation of the Bluetooth keyboard is delayed on the iPad
If there is a delay in keyboard operation when entering characters, go to "Settings" → "General" → "Keyboard" and change the following settings.
■ Turn off automatic correction ■ Turn off input assistance ■ Turn off smart punctuation
Depending on the version, there is also a "smart double-byte space", so turn it off as well.
Turn off other settings that you think you don't need. In some cases, restarting will improve the situation.
How to check the Bluetooth version of the iPad
When connecting earphones etc. via Bluetooth, it may not be possible to use it unless it is a compatible Bluetooth version. The Bluetooth version varies from device to device, so check the instruction manual or the manufacturer's official website.
Can I connect multiple earphones to my iPad via Bluetooth?
I can pair multiple earphones to my iPad, but I couldn't listen to music on more than one earphone at the same time. However, starting with the iPad OS 13, you can share sound with two earphones using certain earphones, such as AirPods and Beats headphones. The connection method differs depending on the earphone you use, so check the official website.
