Xiaomi Mi True Earbuds Basic wireless headphones have become one of the most popular budget solutions for music lovers and active users. Compact design, high-quality sound and ease of use make them an excellent choice for everyday tasks from listening to music to calling. However, many users have difficulties with the first connection: headphones are not determined by the phone, the sound is interrupted or one device does not work. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to pair with Android and iOS, and also tell you how to avoid typical errors.
The Mi True Earbuds Basic model is not the usual on button, but instead it uses automatic on-off when extracted from the case, which sometimes confuses beginners. TWS-With True Wireless Stereo, our guide will help you understand the nuances of everything from basic configuration to solving unusual situations when a device refuses to connect. We also prepared a table of compatibility with different versions of operating systems and a list of commands for resetting settings.
Preparing headphones for the first connection
Before you start pairing, make sure that the Xiaomi Mi True Earbuds Basic headphones are fully charged. The indicator on the case should burn white (when charging - red). If the indicator flashes red or does not glow at all, connect the case to the power source for 15-20 minutes.
- 🔋 Case charge: at least 20% (with a low charge, headphones may not be turned on).
- 📱 Bluetooth version on the phone: no lower than 4.2 (for stable operation).
- 🎧 Cleanliness of contacts: wipe metal connectors on headphones and in the case with a dry napkin.
- 🔄 Lack of previous connections: If the headphones were already paired with another device, they need to be reset.
If you removed the headphones from the case, but they do not show signs of life (the indicator does not blink, there is no sound signal), try forcibly rebooting them.
- Place both headphones back in the case.
- Close the lid and wait 10 seconds.
- Open the lid and remove the headphones – they should turn on automatically.
💡
If the headphones don't respond to the case extraction, try pressing and holding the touchpad on both devices for 15 seconds.
Step-by-step: Connecting to Android
It takes no more than a minute to pair with Android devices (including Xiaomi, Samsung, Honor, etc.) if you follow the algorithm. Importantly, before connecting, disconnect other Bluetooth devices to avoid conflicts.
