1. How to wear Xiaomi Redmi Airdots: step-by-step instructions

It seems like wireless headphones are simple: take it out of the case, put it in the ears, but in practice, even this process has nuances that affect sound quality and comfort.

1. Take the headphones out of the case, they'll automatically turn on and start looking for the device to connect. Don't pull the lace too sharply so as not to damage the charging contacts.
2. Identify the right and left earphones. Redmi Airdots have L (Left) and R (Right) markings on their body. If you don't have one, look at the light indicator, which is usually more active on the right earphone.
3. Check the ear canals. They should fit tightly to the ear canal, but not press. If the headphones dangle or fall out, choose a different size (usually an S/M/L package).
4. Put the headphones in at an angle, tilt them slightly forward (towards the nose), then scroll back slightly for a tight fit, which will help avoid falling out while you're moving.

If the headphones don’t automatically connect, check to see if the Bluetooth on your smartphone is on and connected to another device, and in some cases, resetting helps (press the button on the case for 10 seconds).

• 🎧 Check the angle of the insert. The headphones should "grab" on the antitragus (a small cartilage in the ear). Try to turn them slightly after you put them on.
• 🏃 Use ear hooks. Airdots 3 Pro and some other versions sell additional mounts that lock the earphones behind the ear.
• 🧴 Avoid sweating. Sweat impairs grip. If you exercise, wipe your ears and ears with a dry wipe every 30 to 40 minutes.

If the headphones fall out anyway, try an asymmetrical fit: one earpiece can sit tighter than another because of the anatomical features of the ears. Experiment with angles and insert depth.

• 🔋 Don't discharge completely. The optimal charge level for lithium-ion batteries is 20-80%. Try to recharge the case when the indicator shows 1-2 fission.
• 🧲 Keep it in your case. Headphone contacts oxidize outdoors. Always put them back after use -- it'll also prevent loss.
• 🌡️ Avoid extreme temperatures. Do not leave the case in the sun (for example, in a car in the summer) or in the cold below -10°C.

• 👓 With glasses: Put your headphones on after your glasses, slightly pulling the bows away. If the pressure is still there, use a smaller sized earpiece.
• 🧢 With a hat or hood: Choose loose headgear. If headphones fall out, put a hat on top of them, not the other way around.
• 😷 With a medical mask: Snatch the mask gums below the ears so they don't press on the headphones. Alternatively, masks with tyres on the back of the head.
• 🎿 With a helmet or earbuds: In this case, Redmi Airdots are better put in the case - they are not designed to be worn under other accessories.

For sports in winter, use a thin balaclava hat instead of a three-dimensional headgear. It does not press on the headphones and retains heat.
