When do I need to reset Xiaomi Mi True Wireless 2?

Reset is not a panacea, but it is effective in most cases of software failures, and here are the key symptoms for which you should try to return the headphones to the factory settings:

• 🔴 The headphones don’t sync with each other (one works, the other doesn’t, or both blink differently).
• 📱 Do not connect to the phone or permanently switch off despite a charged battery.
• 🔊 Distorted sound, crackling, interruption of playback or complete absence of sound.
• 🔄 Freeze when switched on (indicators burn continuously or flash chaotically).
• 🔋 Fast battery discharge after firmware update.
• 📦 Headphones are not defined in the Mi Home or Xiaomi Wear app.

If the problem is mechanical (such as a physical breakdown of a speaker or battery), resetting won't help, it will require repairs, but in 9 out of 10 cases it is the software that is to blame, and resetting becomes the quickest solution.

⚠️ Note: After resetting, all user settings (such as gesture customization or sound uniformity) will be deleted. Xiaomi account binding will also be reset - the headphones will become "new" to the system.

Method 1: Hardware reset via a button (most reliable)

This is the basic method that works even if the headphones don't respond to the phone or app, you only need the case itself and 10 seconds of time.

Instructions:

1. Put both headphones in the case and close the lid.
2. Open the case cover and hold the button on the back for 10-15 seconds.
3. The indicators on the headphones will start flashing red and white – this is a signal of a successful reset.
4. Close the case cover, wait 10 seconds, then open it again. The headphones automatically go into pairing mode (blinking white light).

If the indicators don’t flash red/white, try:

• 🔋 Recharge the case (minimum 20% charge).
• 🔄 Repeat the procedure by holding the button for longer (20 seconds).
• 🧹 Clean the contacts of headphones and case from dust (use a dry cotton swab).

Method 3: Reset via Bluetooth settings (for iOS and Android)

1. Open Settings → Bluetooth.
2. Find Mi True Wireless 2 in the list of devices and tap on ⚙️ (Settings).
3. Select Forget Device (or Disable if the Forget option is missing).
4. Return the headphones to the case, close the lid for 10 seconds, then open it again - the device will be ready for a new pairing.

2. Click on the icon "i" next to Mi True Wireless 2.
