Xiaomi’s current wireless headsets have become the benchmark for value for money in the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) segment, but even reliable devices sometimes have Bluetooth malfunctions that require reconfiguration, and users often find themselves in a situation where one earbud stops playing sound or gadgets can’t see each other after upgrading their smartphone.
In this article, we will discuss in detail the process of primary and re-synchronization of headphones Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds. You will learn about the intricacies of working with the Android system menu and specialized software, which significantly expands the functionality of accessories. Competent setting will unlock the full potential of the sound path and ensure a stable connection.
Preparation for the first interface of devices
Before starting the synchronization procedure, make sure that the headset's batteries are charged. Put both earphones in the charge case and connect it to the power source for 15-20 minutes. The indicators should light up, signaling the arrival of energy, which will eliminate a sudden shutdown during the setup process.
It is important to understand that the Bluetooth module of the smartphone should be activated and visible for other devices. Go to the phone settings, select the wireless network section and turn on the corresponding slider. Make sure that the list of available devices does not show an old connection with the same name, which may conflict with the new one.
⚠️ Warning: If the headphones have previously been paired with another phone, they may automatically try to connect to it.Stop Bluetooth temporarily on all nearby gadgets to avoid intercepting the connection.
The process of extraction from the case also matters. Some models only activate the pairing mode when both modules are removed simultaneously. Other models require sequential removal of both modules, following the logic of the firmware. Study the behavior of LED indicators: flashing white usually indicates readiness to search.
Standard procedure for connecting via Bluetooth
The basic synchronization method does not require any additional software to be installed and works on any operating system. Once the headphones are removed from the case, they must automatically go into search mode. At that moment, a pop-up will appear on the smartphone screen suggesting that you connect a new device.
If the automatic window doesn't show up, open the list of available Bluetooth devices manually. Find the name of your model in the list, which often contains the Mi True Wireless marking or a specific series index. Click on the device name to begin the mating procedure.
When you connect, the system can request confirmation of the access code. The standard code is often 0000 or 1234, although modern versions of Android and iOS often perform this procedure automatically without user intervention.
- 🔹 Remove both headphones from the charging case at the same time.
- 🔹 Activate Bluetooth on your smartphone and start a search.
- 🔹 Select the device from the list and confirm the pairing.
- 🔹 Wait for a “Connected” voice notification or similar signal.
Once the synchronization is successful, it's stored in the phone's memory, so if you use it later, you just open the case, and it's automatically connected within seconds, and you don't have to repeat complex manipulations every time.
Use of the Xiaomi Earbuds app
For owners of Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones, as well as users of other brands with the installed service Google Play Services, it is recommended to use the official Xiaomi Earbuds application. This software package allows not only to manage the connection, but also to update the firmware of headphones, which often solves the problems of unstable communication.
Once you install the app, run a scan. It automatically finds the headphones nearby and prompts you to add them to the list of devices. Inside the interface, you will see the exact charge level of each channel separately, which is impossible to do through the standard Android menu.
Special attention should be paid to the Equalizer and gesture control settings section, where you can reassign the touchpad functions to avoid accidental track switching, and the app provides access to Game Mode, which is critical for mobile gamers.
💡
If the app doesn’t see the headphones, try clearing the Bluetooth cache in the phone’s settings or restart the smartphone itself before re-starting the scan.
Regular use of the app allows you to monitor the battery status and receive notifications about the need to clean the speakers. The software can also offer calibration of the sound, adapting the frequency characteristics to a specific headphone model.
Synchronization of the left and right earphones with each other
One of the most common problems is desynchronizing channels, where the sound comes from only one earbud, or they work as two independent mono-device, in which case you need to perform a hard reset to force the left and right modules to pair with each other.
Put both earbuds in the charge case and make sure they charge. Without closing the lid, find the function button on the case case case (if it is designed) or use the touchpads of the headphones themselves. Press the button or sensors for 10-15 seconds before changing the color of the indicator.
In models without a physical button on the case, the algorithm may differ: often you need to touch the touch areas of both headphones at the same time and hold for about 5 seconds until the indicators flash red or white three times, which is a signal that the internal memory of the headphones is cleared.
⚠️ Warning: After resetting, the headphones will forget all previously paired devices. You will have to re-search them in the Bluetooth menu of the phone, as when you first bought them.
After reset, remove the headphones, and they must automatically find each other within 5 to 10 seconds, signaling that one of the indicators (usually the left one) will flash, while the other will stop flashing, and you can now connect them to the smartphone as a single device.

Solving Connectivity and Stability Issues
Even after proper synchronization, there can be interference or communication interruptions, often caused by congestion of the radio channel in crowded areas or powerful sources of radiation working nearby, such as microwave ovens or routers, in which case temporary shutdown and re-energization of Bluetooth helps.
Another cause of disruption is the outdated version of the headphone firmware. Manufacturers regularly release updates to correct data protocol errors. Check for new versions through the app or official support site by downloading the file manually.
If the sound is interrupted only when the phone is moving in your pocket, perhaps the user's body is shielding the signal. Try changing the position of the smartphone or moving it to another pocket. It's also worth checking if the phone is wearing a case with metal elements that can block the antenna.
| Symptoms. | Possible cause | Method of decision |
|---|---|---|
| Only one headphone works. | Dissynchronization of channels | Execute Hard Reset of both modules |
| Low volume. | Polluting the grid or setting up the phone | Clean the speakers, check the absolute volume |
| Frequent communication breakdowns | Interference or battery discharge | Charge devices, move away from sources of interference |
| Phone can't see headphones | Sleep mode or hidden mode | Put it in the case and take it out again, reset the Bluetooth cache |
In some cases, cleaning the list of conjugated devices helps, delete all the old headphone records in the Bluetooth settings and start the search process again, which is especially true after changing your smartphone or reinstalling the operating system.

Optimization of sound settings and control
After successful synchronization, it is recommended to adjust the sound settings to your preferences. Most modern models support high-quality codecs such as AAC or aptX. Make sure that the developer menu or Bluetooth settings select the appropriate codec for lossless audio transmission.
Gesture control is another important aspect of operation: By default, sensors can be too sensitive to touch hair or the collar of clothing. In the app, you can adjust sensitivity or completely disable certain gestures, such as double-touching to activate the voice assistant.
Spatial sound and noise cancellation (ANC) also require tuning. In noisy places, activating active noise cancellation will significantly improve the perception of music, but consumes the battery faster. In a quiet room, it is better to use transparency mode or conventional listening to save energy.
💡
The sound quality directly depends not only on the headphone drivers, but also on the selected transmission codec and the distance to the signal source.
Remember to periodically update the contact pads on the headphones and in the case. Oxidation of the contacts can cause one of the headphones to not charge or turn on, which will create the illusion of a synchronization problem.
