Q: Need help w/ Bluetooth issue for my iPhone 6

I have wireless earbuds that can connect with no problem to my iPhone 6. The problem is that every time a call comes through to my phone, the bluetooth works fine but I have to manually switch it under audio from my iphone to the name of my bluetooth headset. How can I set it to automatically transfer to my headset?

 

I am using the current IOS 9.3.2

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Try adjusting the settings for your Call Audio Routing under Settings>General>Accessibility and scroll down. It will be under the Interactions section.

    The device used by default is the one that you answered the call with. If you answer with the phone the audio will be routed to the phone. If you want it to use the headset answer with the headset. Most headsets have a button to push to answer the call. Some (like my Q3) I can just say "answer".
