How to quickly and correctly connect headphones Xiaomi Mi True

Modern wireless gadgets from the Chinese giant Xiaomi deservedly enjoy great popularity due to the excellent combination of price and quality. However, the process of initial pairing with a new smartphone or tablet for inexperienced users sometimes raises questions and difficulties. In this detailed guide, we will examine all the nuances of how to connect Xiaomi Mi True headphones to Android and iOS devices, as well as eliminate possible synchronization errors.

Before we get into action, it’s important to understand that successful connectivity depends on several factors, including battery power and the right sequence of actions. Wireless headphones require careful attention to pairing modes, especially when you first start. We’ll look not only at the standard algorithm, but also at hidden features that will help improve sound quality and connection stability in the future.

You won’t need any special skills or additional software to get started, other than the standard Bluetooth interface on your phone. Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds are designed with the expectation of maximum ease of use, making them available even for those who are first time faced with the problem of the new model. TWS-Let's get to the practical side and set up your audio device.

Preparation of headphones and smartphone for the first launch

The first and most important step is to check the battery charge in the case and the headphones themselves. If the device is just unpacked, it can be completely discharged, so it is recommended to put the case on charge for at least 30-40 minutes.

When charging accessories, you need to prepare your smartphone. Make sure that the Bluetooth module on your phone or tablet is activated and in visibility mode for other devices. Often users forget that the screen of the smartphone must be unlocked to initially set up, and in some cases, location permission is required, as this is necessary for the Bluetooth scanner to work on the Android operating system.

💡

Before first use, wipe the contacts on the headphones and inside the case with a dry soft cloth to ensure reliable contact when charging.

It’s also worth checking if your headphones are connected to other devices they’ve previously worked with. Automatic reconnection can prevent new pairing if the old gadget is in range. If you’ve previously used these headphones with another phone, it’s better to temporarily disable Bluetooth on your old device or remove the headphones from the list of paired ones in its settings.

• 🔋 Fully charge the case and headphones before first turning on for battery calibration.
• 📱 Unlock the smartphone screen and make sure Bluetooth is on.
• 🚫 Turn off Bluetooth on other devices that have previously used these headphones.
• 🧹 Clean the charging contacts of dust and factory film, if any.

Step-by-step instructions for pairing with Android and iOS

The process of connecting Xiaomi Mi True headphones to smartphones of different operating systems is almost identical, as it is based on standard Bluetooth protocols. Once you remove the headphones from the case, they automatically go into device search mode, as evidenced by a flashing indicator. At this stage, you need to open the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone and start scanning available devices.

The list of devices you find will show you the name of your model, such as Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic or AirDots. Click on it and the system will request confirmation to create a pair. In some cases, the confirmation code will appear on the screen that you need to accept. Once you successfully connect, the voice assistant will notify you of the status by saying the phrase "Connected" or similar in Chinese or English.

For iOS users, the process can take a few seconds longer due to the peculiarities of Apple's security protocols. If the device is not immediately located, try putting the headphones back in the case, close the lid, wait 5 seconds and re-extract them.

⚠️ Note: If two identical names appear on the list of devices (left and right earphone separately), this means that the headphones are out of sync with each other.

Use the Mi Wear app for advanced customization

While basic connectivity works immediately, the real potential is unlocked by using Mi Wear (formerly Xiaomi Wear), a proprietary app that not only allows you to see the exact percentage of each headphone and case charge, but also to customize the equalizer, update the firmware and change the control of touch panels.

Once you install the app, launch it and log in to your Mi Account. Press the Add Device button and select the Headphone type. The app will automatically find the connected headphones and prompt you to update the software if a new version is available. Firmware is an important aspect, as manufacturers often release updates that improve connection stability and noise reduction.

Inside the app, you can also set up control gestures. You can usually set up a double tap to answer a call or switch a track by default, but you can change these settings, for example, you can set a triple tap to call the voice assistant or a long tap to activate the low-latency mode (Gaming Mode), which is critical for mobile gamers.

Manual pairing mode and resetting settings

Sometimes the automatic search mode fails, or the headphones need to be connected to a new device without removing them from the old one. In such cases, manual pairing mode is used. For most Xiaomi Mi True models, you need to remove both headphones from the case and press the touch panels of both headphones simultaneously, holding them for 5-7 seconds.

If the headphones are not behaving properly, play only on one side or do not connect at all, a complete reset (Hard Reset) may be required. The procedure may vary slightly depending on the model, but most often it is the following: place the headphones in the case, make sure they are charging, then press and hold the button on the case (if any) or touch panels on the headphones themselves for 20-30 seconds until the indicators blink several times.

Once reset, the headphones will go back to factory settings, and you'll need to re-delete them from the Bluetooth list on your phone and pair them as if they were a new device. It's a universal solution for 90% of software synchronization errors. Don't be afraid to reset, because it won't affect the physical components of the device.

• 🔄 Hold the touch panels for 5 seconds to enter manual pairing mode.
• 🗑️ Remove the old device from the Bluetooth list before reconnecting.
• ⏱️ To reset, hold the buttons. 20-30 seconds before flashing the indicators.
• 🔌 Make sure the case is at least 20% charged before the reset procedure.

Solving Common Connection Problems

Even if you follow all the instructions, users can run into difficulties. One of the most common problems is that the phone sees the headphones, but the connection does not occur or immediately breaks. This is often due to a crowded Bluetooth cache or a conflict of profiles, in which case it is recommended to go to the Bluetooth settings, find the Forgotten Devices list, clear the Bluetooth app cache in the smartphone settings and restart the phone.

Another common situation is the desynchronization of the left and right earphones when they are working independently of each other, and to fix this, you need to remove the device from the phone, turn off Bluetooth, put the headphones in the case, then simultaneously touch the sensors of both headphones (either in or out of the case, depending on the model) and wait until they "find" each other, usually after that one indicator goes out, and the second continues to blink while waiting for the phone.

⚠️ Warning: If the headphones are not charged in the case after all the manipulations, check if the protective film is removed from the charging contacts on the headphones themselves.

Strong sources of interference, such as running microwaves, nearby Wi-Fi routers or crowded locations with multiple Wi-Fi networks, can temporarily degrade connection quality. Try to move away from the source of interference or switch the router's Wi-Fi frequency to 5 GHz if your phone supports this standard.

Features of connecting to Windows and macOS

Connecting Xiaomi Mi True to a computer or laptop has its nuances, as desktop operating systems do not always correctly support all audio codecs. To connect to Windows 10 or 11, open "Settings", go to "Devices" or "Bluetooth and other devices", click "Add Bluetooth or other device" and select "Bluetooth".

On macOS, the process is similar: open System Settings, select Bluetooth, and find your headphones in the list. However, it is worth noting that the headphone microphone when connected to a computer can work in a low-quality headset mode (Hands-Free AG Audio).

💡

For the best sound quality on your PC, use headphones only for playback, and for conversations, switch to the built-in microphone of the laptop.

If your computer can't see the headphones, make sure it has a Bluetooth driver on it and it's on. On some desktop PCs, the Bluetooth module may not be physically present, and you'll need an external one. USB-Also, Bluetooth drivers on Windows computers often require an update through Device Manager to keep modern headsets running smoothly.

Tips for Extension of Service Life and Stability

To keep your Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds long-lasting and pleasing with quality sound, it's important to properly care for them. Regularly clean the speaker grid of earwax and dust using a soft dry brush. The accumulation of dirt can not only worsen the sound, but also lead to breakage of the speaker membrane or problems with the proximity sensor, which automatically pauses the music when you take out the earbud.

Avoid deep battery discharge.If you don't plan on using headphones for a long time (more than a month), charge them to about 60-70% and store them in a cool place. The lithium polymer batteries used in these devices degrade faster if stored fully discharged or, conversely, fully charged at high temperatures.

Compliance with these simple guidelines will allow you to enjoy your favorite music and quality calls throughout the life of the device.TWS technology gives freedom of movement, and proper use ensures that this freedom will not be overshadowed by technical problems.
