Wireless speakers often experience a device that stops working properly, loses touch with a smartphone, or makes extraneous noises. In such cases, standard Bluetooth reconnection rarely helps, and the only effective solution is to completely reset the settings to a factory state, which cleans the headset’s internal memory of temporary errors, resets connection profiles, and eliminates software conflicts accumulated during operation.
The process of restoring the functionality of Xiaomi Earbuds may vary slightly depending on the specific model and firmware version, but the overall algorithm of actions remains the same for most devices of the ecosystem. It is important to understand that after performing these actions, you will have to re-pair the phone, as all previously stored data will be deleted. Below we will discuss all the details so that you can quickly return your headphones to life.
Before we take any drastic measures, we need to make sure that the problem is really a software failure, not a dead battery or mechanical damage. If charging the case and the headphones themselves does not help eliminate static interference or lack of sound, resetting is the only regular way to solve the problem without going to the service center. Let's look Step-by-step how to perform this operation.
Preparation for performing resetting of settings
Before you start the recovery procedure, you need to perform a number of preparatory steps that ensure the successful completion of the process. First of all, make sure that the charging case has a sufficient level of charge, as a sudden power outage during reset can lead to improper operation of the headphone microcontroller. Put both earphones inside the charging case and close the cover, leaving them for 5-10 minutes to stabilize the voltage.
The second important step is to clear the list of paired devices on your smartphone. Go to Bluetooth settings, find your Mi True Wireless Earbuds in the list, and select the option “Forget device” or “Disable” This action will break the current connection and prevent automatic reconnection during settings, which can cause a conflict of profile versions.
⚠️ Warning: Do not attempt to remove the headphones from the case before the reset procedure begins unless the instruction requires otherwise.
It is also recommended to check for updates for the Mi Wear or Xiaomi Earbuds app if you plan to use them to monitor your condition after a reset.However, the hard reset process itself is usually performed by hardware methods without the phone's software involved.
☑️ Checklist before reset
Universal method of resetting through the case button
Most modern models, including the Redmi Buds 3 Pro, Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 and later, feature a physical control button on the case of the charging case. This method is standard for the ecosystem and allows you to quickly bring the gadget to its original state. Open the case lid, but do not remove the headphones themselves — they must remain inside to receive command from the controller.
Find a circular button on the outside or inside of the case (location depends on the model) and press it. You will need to hold your finger for a long time, usually 10 to 20 seconds, at which point the status indicator will flash in a certain way, signaling the transition to pairing or reset mode.
Watch the color of the indicator: when it lights up white or orange (depending on the model) and starts flashing quickly, release the button. This means that the memory is cleared and the headphones are ready for a new one. If the indicator flashes red, it may be that the charge of the case is too low to perform the operation.
Once the procedure is completed, close the case cover and wait a few seconds, then open it again. The headphones should automatically go into device search mode, as confirmed by alternate flashing of indicators on the headphones themselves or on the case case case case.
⚠️ Warning: If after 20 seconds of holding the button, the indicator does not change behavior, try charging the case for 30 minutes and repeat the procedure.
Resetting headphones without a physical button (touch control)
Some budget or specific Xiaomi Earbuds Basic and early-production models may not have a button on the body. In such cases, manufacturers have implemented a method of resetting through the touch panels of the headphones themselves, which requires greater accuracy and time-slots, since the sensors are sensitive to the duration of touches.
Remove both earphones from the charger case and make sure they are on (usually they turn on automatically when removed).You need to simultaneously touch the touch areas on both earphones and hold your fingers for 5-7 seconds until the indicators turn off or change color. Some versions require a series of quick touches, such as five times pressing the right earphone and five times pressing the left.
After a series of touches, the headphones should turn off. Place them back in the case, close the lid, and open again in 10 seconds. If the procedure is successful, the indicators should light up and start flashing, indicating readiness for initial pairing.
