Modern wireless headphones from Xiaomi and its sub-brands such as Redmi and Black Shark have become popular choice due to the optimal value for money. However, after buying a device, many users are faced with questions about the correct pairing, setting up touch controls and activating all available functions. Proper initial setup allows you to unlock the potential of the Bluetooth headset by one hundred percent, providing a stable connection and high sound quality.
Unlike wired counterparts, wireless models require careful attention to the first connection process and regular case charging. The wrong sequence of actions can lead to the gadget not being visible in the list of available devices or will only work unilaterally. In this article, we will discuss in detail all stages of operation, from unpacking to fine-tuning through specialized applications.
Understanding the basic principles of work TWS-True Wireless Stereo will help you avoid common mistakes. You don’t need to be a tech person to understand the interface, but knowing the basic rules will prolong battery life and improve the user experience. Let’s start with the most important step – getting the device ready to work.
Primary activation and pairing with the device
The first step after removing the headphones from the package is to charge them. Often new devices come with a partially discharged battery, so it is recommended to place them in a case and connect them to the power source for 30-60 minutes. Only then you can start the pairing procedure.
The process of putting into pairing mode can vary depending on the model, and in most cases, simply remove both earbuds from the charging case and they will automatically go into search mode. If this does not happen, you need to press the touch zones or physical buttons on both headphones simultaneously on the headphone. 5-7 It's critical to pair with the main device, because in the TWS-One headphone is a master who transmits a signal to the second.
When your model name appears on the list of available devices (e.g. Xiaomi Redmi Buds 3 Pro), click on it to connect. Successful connection is usually confirmed by a voice message "Connected" or a characteristic beep. If the connection failed the first time, try removing the device from the list of forgotten and repeat the procedure.
☑️ Checking before connection
Control of touch zones and physical buttons
The control interface in Xiaomi wireless headsets is implemented through touch panels or mechanical buttons. Touch control is considered more modern, but requires addiction, as it responds to touches of a certain strength and duration. Mechanical buttons, in turn, provide a clear tactile response, which is convenient in the cold season or when using gloves.
Standard control often involves single, double, and triple tapping, as well as prolonged retention. For example, double tapping the right earphone can switch tracks, and the left can activate the voice assistant. Long-term retention (about 2 seconds) is most often responsible for switching between noise reduction modes or accepting an incoming call.
- 🎵 Single touch: pause/playback or answer to a call.
- 🔊 Double-touch: Next track or activation of transparency mode.
- 📞 Triple touch: previous track or repeat of last number.
- 🛑 Retention 2-3 Seconds: Deflection of the call or change of mode of operation.
Standard settings may not match your habits, so it is recommended to immediately reassign functions through the application, which will make the management more intuitive and convenient for everyday use.
Use of Xiaomi Earbuds and Mi Buds
For full disclosure of the functionality of the headphones Xiaomi and Redmi strongly recommended to install a proprietary application. on devices with MIUI 12.5 and above, the settings are often built into the system menu Bluetooth, but for other Android smartphones and iOS will require separate software. The main application is called Xiaomi Earbuds (formerly Mi Buds), which can be found on Google Play or the App Store.
Once you install the app and connect the headphones, you can access an extended equalizer, where you can select one of the preset sound profiles (for example, "Bas", "Vocal" or "Twitter") or create your own frequency settings. The application also displays the exact percentage of charge of each earphone and case separately, which is impossible to do with standard system tools.
One of the key features of the app is the firmware update (Firmware Update), developers regularly release updates that improve connection stability and the quality of active noise cancellation. If you notice strange behavior of the device, check the section "About headphones" and if there is a new version, update without interrupting the process.
| Function | Description | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| equalizer | Frequency adjustment | All models. |
| Headphone search | Audible signal in case of loss | Models of 2020+ |
| Game mode | Reducing sound delay | Pro and Gaming versions |
| Adaptive ANC | Auto-tuning of the noise maker | Flagship models |

If the app doesn’t see the headphones, try in Bluetooth settings to tap the gear icon next to the device name and select “Disable” and then re-pair through the app.
Noise reduction and transparency modes
Xiaomi’s flagship wireless headphones are equipped with active noise cancellation (ANC) systems, which uses microphones to analyze external noise and generate antiphase, which allows you to drown out the hum of traffic or office noise, and you can activate it through prolonged retention or a switch in the application.
Transparency Mode works the other way around, amplifying external sounds by passing them through microphones into the speaker, which is a very useful feature when you need to talk quickly to a colleague or hear an announcement in transport without removing the headphones from your ears. Switching between modes usually occurs cyclically while holding the touch zone.
⚠️ Attention: Continuous use of maximum noise reduction at high volume can lead to rapid hearing fatigue. Take breaks and use transparency mode in a safe urban environment.
Some models support adaptive noise cancellation, which automatically adjusts the degree of noise suppression to the environment, and algorithms analyze the level of external noise and pressure in the ear, selecting the optimal profile, which provides a balance between silence and comfort.
Game mode and sound delay
For mobile gamers, Xiaomi and Black Shark have a special Game Mode, which reduces the delay of audio transmission over Bluetooth to minimal values (often up to 60-80 ms), which is critical for shooters and rhythm games, where the sound of steps or shots must match the image on the screen.
You can turn this mode on via an app or a special combination of touches (for example, triple tap). However, it is worth considering that in game mode, energy consumption increases, and battery life is reduced by 20-30%, so it is recommended to activate it only during play.
Why is there a delay in normal mode?
If you use headphones to watch videos on YouTube or Netflix, the delay is usually compensated by the software itself or the smartphone operating system. So it doesn't make sense to turn on the movie game mode unless you notice the lip and voice dissynchronization.
Maintenance, charging and extension of service life
Wireless headphones require proper care, especially in terms of hygiene and charging. The mesh filter of speakers over time gets clogged with earwax, which leads to a decrease in volume and wheezing. Clean them with a dry soft brush or cotton swab, carefully removing contaminants. Alcohol is only permissible for cleaning the plastic case, avoiding liquid on the mesh.
When it comes to charging, lithium polymer batteries don't like to be completely discharged to zero. Try to put headphones in a case when the indicator shows about 20% charge. It's also not recommended to leave the case with headphones on charging for days after reaching 100%, although modern controllers protect against overcharging, this creates extra heat release.
- 🧼 Wipe the charging contacts in the case with a dry cloth once a month.
- 🌡️ Do not leave the device in the direct sun or in a cold car.
- 🔋 If you don’t use headphones for a long time, keep the charge at a level. 50-60%.
⚠️ Warning: Never use powerful smartphone chargers (fast charging) 30W (a) to charge the case itself, unless otherwise specified in the instructions, which may damage the power controller of the kecil battery.
