How to Reset Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earphones 2

The situation when wireless headphones suddenly stop working correctly is familiar to many owners of portable acoustics. Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 are no exception to this rule, despite its popularity and reliability. Users often face problems of desynchronization of channels, when sound is played in only one ear, or the device simply refuses to find a smartphone when trying to pair.

In most cases, completely removing the old connection profile and returning to factory settings eliminates software failures. Resetting the headphones clears the internal memory of the headset from accumulated errors and forcibly puts the Bluetooth module into active search mode, this is the first step you should take before going to the service center or looking for complex technical malfunctions.

This guide details the reset process for the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 (also known as Air 2) and will look at standard touch controls, forced reboots, and cleansing the list of paired devices on the side of the smartphone.

Typical causes of unstable work of the headset

Before we take any drastic measures, we need to understand the nature of the problem: the unstable connection is often caused not by physical damage, but by a software conflict. When headphones connect to different devices or when there are several profiles of the same model in the Bluetooth list of the smartphone, there is confusion in the communication protocols.

Another common reason is the different charge levels in the left and right earphones, so if one of them is zero and the other is still charged, when they are placed in the case and then removed, they may not automatically marry each other, in which case the synchronization of the channels is disrupted, and the stereo mode stops working.

⚠️ Attention: If after extraction from the case, the indicators flash a different color or do not light up at all, the problem may lie in the oxidation of contacts.Be sure to wipe the metal pads on the headphones and inside the case with a dry cotton swab before reset.

Also affected by the firmware version installed on the device, outdated software may contain bugs that have been patched in newer versions, and checking the relevance of the software through the Mi Earbuds or Xiaomi Earbuds app (for global versions) can solve the problem without the need for a complete reset.

Preparation for the resetting procedure

To successfully perform the procedure, you need to properly prepare the equipment. First of all, make sure that the Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 and the charging case have sufficient energy level. Low battery power can cause the headphones to turn off during the reset process, which can cause errors in the device's file system.

Place both earbuds in the charge case and close the lid. Leave them on charge for at least 10-15 minutes, even if the indicators show full charge, which is necessary to equalize the voltage in the batteries and activate the power controller, only then you can remove them for manipulation.

The second important step is to prepare your smartphone, so you go to your phone's Bluetooth settings, and look for Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 (or Mi Air 2) in the list of previously paired devices, and click on the settings icon next to the name and select "Forget the device" or "Unpair."

This is a critical step. If you don't delete your old profile, after reset, your headphones can automatically try to dodge the outdated settings, and the problem won't be solved. Cleaning up the Bluetooth cache on your phone can also be helpful, especially if you're on Android and you've accumulated a lot of old connections.

Basic Reset Method through Sensory Control

The most common and safest way to get your headphones back to factory is to use touch panels. The Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 features sensitive sensors that respond to prolonged pressing. First, remove both headphones from the charging case.

Make sure the lights on them are gone, which means they're not in active pairing mode right now. If they're flashing white, you're looking for the device, and you're going to have to wait or turn off the Bluetooth on your phone. Now, you're going to have to tap the touch zones on both of your headphones at the same time.

Hold your finger on the sensors for 5 seconds. You should hear a characteristic beep or see the indicators start flashing white at a certain frequency. This means that the reset mode is activated. Release the sensors and place the headphones back in the case.

Close the case cover and wait about 10 seconds. Then open it and re-extract the headphones. The indicators should flash white to signal readiness for a new pairing. Now you can search the device in the phone settings again.

Alternative ways to reboot the Bluetooth module

Sometimes the standard method doesn't work the first time, especially if the headphones are stuck in a state of error, so you can try the forced reboot method through the case, put the headphones in the charging case, but don't close the lid right away.

Find the functional control button on the charging case (usually located on the end or inside between the sockets, depending on the revision). If your Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 version has such a button, press it for 10-15 seconds. The indicator on the case should flash yellow or white, which will confirm the reset.

If there is no physical button on the case, use the "discharge" method. Leave the headphones outside the case on until they are completely discharged and turned off. Then place them in the case for charging. After a full discharge and charge cycle, the device's memory is often cleared of temporary errors.

⚠️ Warning: Don't use the full discharge method too often.Deep discharge of lithium-polymer batteries is harmful to their chemical structure and can shorten the overall life of headphones.

Table of indicators and their value when discharged

Understanding color indications helps diagnose the condition of the device during the recovery process. The light indicators on the Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 convey important information about the current mode of operation.

| Indicator status | Color | Value |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| Flashes white | White | Pairing mode (ready to connect) |

| Burning constantly | White | Headphone connected to device |

| Flashes yellow | Yellow | Low battery charge or reset mode |

| Flashes red | Red | Critical discharge or charging error |

| Not burning | - | Headphone off or discharged to zero |

It is important to note that if the indicator continues to flash yellow or red after reset, this may indicate a hardware malfunction or deep discharge.In such cases, leave the headphones in the case on charge for several hours before you try to reset.

The process of re-pairing with a smartphone

Once the reset procedure is successful, reconnect your headphones to your phone. Turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone and go to the list of available devices. Make sure other devices nearby don't try to automatically connect to your headphones, causing interference.

Remove Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 from the case. If the reset is successful, the indicators should flash white lights often. Find the device in the list on the phone and tap it to connect. The process can take 5 to 15 seconds.

💡

For better sound quality when reconnecting, make sure that the smartphone is turned off the “Mono-audio” mode in special features, otherwise the sound will go to only one channel.

Once connected, the system may suggest updating the firmware through a proprietary firmware app. The firmware update often contains fixes for connection stability, so ignoring this step is not recommended. Follow the instructions on the app screen without removing the headphones from your ears and holding the phone nearby.

Elimination of left and right channel dissynchronization

One of the most common problems is when the phone sees two devices with the same name or the sound is only on the left, which is called TWS (True Wireless Stereo) desynchronization. To fix this, first perform the "Forget the device" procedure for both profiles in the Bluetooth settings.

Then place both earbuds in the case and close the lid for 10 seconds. Remove them at the same time. Now quickly press 5 times on the sensor of the right earbud (or left, depending on the firmware version, but usually the right one). This action often initiates a mode to search for a second earbud to pair.

⚠️ Warning: When trying to sync, keep your headphones close to each other (no more than 5 cm away), but don't put them in your ears.

If one earbud flashes and the other one does or does not blink, then the connection between them is established, and now they can be connected to the phone as a single device, and if both blink independently, the procedure must be repeated, first discharging them to zero.
