Owners of Xiaomi’s wireless acoustics often face a situation where devices stop syncing with each other or the phone stops “seeing” them. In such cases, the only effective solution is to completely reset the settings to factory settings, which removes all temporary memory and connection history, returning the gadget to the “out of the box” state.
Hard Reset can vary depending on the model and year of release. Some versions are controlled exclusively through touch panels, while older or specialized models require the use of physical buttons on the case case case. Understanding the type of control your headset is the first step to a successful recovery.
In this article, we will discuss in detail the algorithms for the most popular Haylou lines, you will learn how to correctly reset to avoid errors, and what to do if standard methods do not help. It is important to strictly follow the sequence of actions, since improper timing can lead to the transition of headphones to pairing mode instead of reset.
Preparation of the device for the discharge procedure
Before you start manipulating the sensor or buttons, you need to make sure that the equipment is ready to go. Battery charge plays a critical role: if the charge level is critically low, the device can simply turn off during the reset process, which will lead to a software failure. Put the headphones in the case and leave them on charge for at least 15-20 minutes.
It's also important to clean the contacts. Oxidation or dust on the charging pins can prevent the device from being properly status-driven. Wipe the metal contacts on the headphones themselves and inside the case with dry soft cloth. Make sure the magnets hold the headphones securely in place.
☑️ Ready to dump
The next step is to remove the device profile from your smartphone memory. Go to your phone's Bluetooth settings, search the Haylou list (or specific model name), and select "Forget the device" or "Disconnect." This action will prevent automatic reconnection during the setup process.
Reset of GT series models (GT1, GT1 Pro, GT3, GT5)
The GT series is one of the most popular and popular. The reset method here is based on long-term retention of touch zones. First, remove both earphones from the charging case. If they turn on automatically, wait until they try to connect with each other (usually flashing indicators).
To start the procedure, you need to simultaneously touch the touch panels of both headphones and hold your fingers for 5 seconds before turning off. After they go out without removing your fingers, continue holding for another 20 seconds.
⚠️ Attention: If you let your fingers go too early, the headphones will just turn off, but the reset will not happen. If you hold them back, they can turn on again.
After successfully performing a series of blinks, put the headphones back in the case. Close the lid and wait 10 seconds. Then pull them out again - now they should go into pairing mode, and the indicators will quickly flash white (or red-blue, depending on the version), waiting to connect to the new device.
Instructions for T1, T1 Lite and TWS models
The T1 series has its own controls. It also uses touch control, but the time intervals may vary. Remove both earbuds from the case. If they burn, turn them off with a five-second sensor hold.
Now press and hold the touchpads on both headphones simultaneously. Hold on for about 10 to 15 seconds. You have to wait until the lights flash red 3-4 times. This is a signal that the pairing memory is cleared.
After reset, place the devices in the charging case. Make sure they are on charge (case or headphone indicators are on fire). In 5-10 seconds, remove them again. Now the Haylou T1 is ready for new synchronization.
What to do if the indicators do not flash?
Features of reset models LS05, W1 and Moripods
Some models, such as the LS05 or Moripods, may not have a full-fledged touchpad for long-term retention or have a modified logic. In such cases, a “double-off” method is often used.
Then turn them on again with a short press. Immediately after turning them on while the light is on, press and hold the sensors for 10 to 15 seconds. The headphones should turn off, and then spontaneously turn on and flash the pairing indicators, which means that the reset was successful.
For models with physical buttons (less common, mostly in sports series), the procedure is simpler: press the button on the headphone case for 10 seconds before the characteristic beep or color change of the LED. In the case of W1, the standard scheme often works: turn off -> hold 20 seconds to 4 red blinks.
Table of indication and action codes
Understanding light signals helps diagnose the condition of the device, and here is a summary table that will help you interpret the behavior of the indicators during the procedure.
| Status of the indicator | Colour | Meaning | User action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slow blinking | White | Standby/match mode | Search in Bluetooth. |
| Fast blinking (3-4 times) | Red. | Reset successfully completed | Put your fingers in the case. |
| It's burning all the time. | Red. | Charging's coming. | Wait for full charge |
| Blink 2 times | Red. | Low battery charge | I need you to charge. |
💡
Red flashing 3-4 times is a universal success signal for most Haylou models, and if you see it, then the factory settings are restored.
Solving Common Problems After Resetting
Sometimes even after the right reset, the headphones don't connect together (only one channel works), which is called desynchronization. To fix this, remove the device from the Bluetooth on your phone, turn off the Bluetooth on your smartphone, put the headphones in your case, close it, wait 10 seconds and pull it out again.
If the problem persists, try resetting the network settings on the smartphone itself. Often, old conflicting profiles interfere with the new connection, and it is also worth checking if the headphones are connected to another device nearby (tablet, laptop) that can intercept the signal.
⚠️ Warning: Don't try to reset while the headphones are inside the charging case.Most Haylou models require retraction to activate the sensors and enter pairing mode.
In rare cases, you need to "deep discharge." Leave the headphones outside the case until the battery is completely turned off and exhausted. Then charge them to 100% when turned off (putting them in the case). After full charging, repeat the reset procedure. This helps the recalibrate power controller.
💡
If one earbud is working and the other is silent, try first resetting the settings only on the idle earbud (holding the sensor until it turns off and blinks), and then sync them again.
