How to use Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 headphones

Xiaomi’s compact wireless headphones have long proven to be an affordable and reliable solution for everyday music listening. The Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 is an improved version of previous generations, offering a more stable connection and high-quality audio transmission. Despite the lack of active noise cancellation, the device provides excellent insulation from external noise due to the tight fit of the suits. Users often choose this model for its autonomy and concise design, which is suitable for both sports and office.

The first switch on and pairing of the gadget with the phone is usually easy, but there are a number of nuances that should be considered for stable operation. The correct setting of touch control allows you to completely avoid touching the smartphone during calls or switching tracks. It is important to immediately understand the logic of the indicators to understand when charging is required or reconnection occurs. In this material, we will discuss all aspects of operation, from unpacking to solving rare technical problems.

Owners often face the question of how to properly reset or reconnect the headphones to a new device. The standard synchronization procedure works automatically, but sometimes manual intervention is required via the Bluetooth menu. Understanding how Bluetooth 5.0 works in this model will help avoid audio delays when watching videos. We will look at each step in detail so that you can enjoy quality audio without unnecessary technical difficulties.

Component and appearance of the device

In the standard retail box, you'll find the headphones themselves, already placed in the charging case, as well as a Micro-USB charging cable. Separately, the bag contains two additional pairs of interchangeable silicone nozzles of different sizes for the perfect fit. The case design is made of matte plastic that is resistant to scratches and fingerprints. On the front side there is an LED indicator, and on the back side there is a port for connecting the power cable.

The headphones themselves are ergonomically shaped to replicate the structure of the ear, which provides comfort for long-term wear. On the outer edge of each earpiece is a touch-sensitive zone. On the inside are the charging contacts and the main microphone for voice transmission. It is important to note that the left and right headphones are not identical in control functionality, since the master device is more often the right channel.

⚠️ Warning: Before the first use, be sure to remove the protective film from the charging contacts on the headphones themselves, otherwise they will not be charged in the case.

The build quality of Xiaomi Basic 2 allows you to use them in high humidity conditions, for example, during training. However, it is strictly forbidden to immerse the device in water, since it does not have full moisture protection. The light weight of the design reduces the pressure on the ear cartilage, preventing rapid fatigue. Visual minimalism is complemented by the absence of physical buttons, which makes the control more intuitive after addiction.

First Enabling and Pairing with a Smartphone

The initial setup process takes only a few minutes and does not require the installation of additional applications. Immediately after extraction from the case, the headphones go into the device search mode, which is signaled by a flashing indicator. On your smartphone, you need to activate the wireless module and start scanning available devices. In the list of detected gadgets, you will see a record of Mi True Wireless EBs Basic 2, which you need to click.

Sometimes the system may request a pairing confirmation, which should be confirmed by pressing the appropriate button on the phone screen. Once the connection is successful, the voice assistant will notify you of the connection status with the phrase "Connected." If you use an Android device, you may request access to contacts and a call log to correctly display the names of the callers. For iOS devices, the procedure is similar and does not require special manipulation.

In case the automatic connection didn't happen, try putting the headphones back in the case and re-extracting them. Make sure the phone doesn't activate flight mode and visibility for other devices is on. Sometimes it helps to delete old Bluetooth profiles in the phone's settings before a new synchronization attempt. The stability of the connection depends directly on the version of your smartphone's operating system.

Managing sensory commands and functions

Playback and call management is done by a series of touch touches on the headphone body. Single taps are commonly used to pause or resume a track, and to respond to an incoming call. Double taps are often designed to activate the voice assistant or re-dial the last number. Triple taps on the right earphone switch tracks forward, and on the left to return to the beginning of the composition.

To complete a conversation or to reject an incoming call, you need to hold your finger on the sensor for two seconds, which is the same function that works to turn off the device if you hold the sensors on both earphones simultaneously, and you don't need to push too hard to damage the design or to move the earpiece in your ear.

• 🎵 One touch: Play/Pause Music or Answering the Call.
• 📞 Double touch: Activation of voice assistant or Re-setting.
• ⏭️ Triple touch: Next track (right) or Previous track (left).
• ❌ Holding 2 seconds: Reject call or complete call.

⚠️ Warning: Do not touch the touch zone with wet or oily hands, as this can lead to incorrect command recognition.

The functionality may vary slightly depending on the device and the firmware version. Some music players can take control by ignoring the standard commands of the headset. In such cases, it is recommended to check the settings of the application itself for playing audio. The flexibility of management makes Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2 a convenient tool for multimedia.

Status indication and operating modes

The LED light on the case case and on the headphones themselves tells the user about the current status of the device. When extracted from the case, the indicators on the headphones begin to flash white, signaling readiness for pairing. During charging, the indicator on the case burns red, and when fully charged, it changes the glow to white or goes out. Understanding the color range helps to quickly assess the need for a connection to the network.

If the headphones flash red and white at the same time, it indicates low battery power. In standby mode, when the headphones are off the case but not connected, they can flash periodically to save energy. After a certain time of downtime, the device will automatically go to sleep to save battery life. Watch the color so that you do not lose music at an important moment.

In some situations, the indicator may behave differently, such as flashing quickly when resetting. This is normal behavior of the system, indicating internal reconfiguration processes. If the indicator does not light up at all, check the charge in the case and the purity of the contacts. Visual diagnosis is the first step in finding faults.

Charging and autonomous operation of the device

The charger case contains a compact battery that allows you to fully charge the headphones several times without connecting to the network. To replenish power, you use a standard Micro-USB port that is compatible with many cables from other equipment. The process of charging the headphones themselves occurs automatically when you place them in the case, if the contacts are combined correctly.

The headphones themselves are powered by a built-in 40mAh battery each, which provides up to 4-5 hours of continuous operation. The charging speed is quite high: about 1.5 hours is required to fully restore the capacity of the headphones and 2.5 hours for the case itself. Using an original or high-quality cable ensures stable current and no overheating of the elements. It is not recommended to leave the device on charge longer than necessary time after the indicator is sunburned.

💡

Use a short-length cable to charge the case from Power Bank – this will reduce voltage losses and speed up the process.

The duration of operation depends on the volume of playback and the quality of the data codec. At maximum volume and active use of the microphone, the operating time can be reduced to 3 hours. Outside the case, headphones can work up to 80 hours, periodically going to sleep. Regular charging extends the total life of the lithium-ion battery.

Solution and resetting of settings

If one of the headphones is no longer sounding or the sound is quieter, it's usually a factory reset that helps, so you have to put both headphones in a case, then remove them and quickly press five times on the touch zones of both devices at the same time, the indicators have to catch fire and go out several times, which signals a successful reset, and then you have to remove the device from the Bluetooth list on the phone and perform the pairing again.

Quiet sound problems are often associated with contamination of the speaker's mesh with earwax or dust. gently clean the mesh with a dry soft brush, without using sharp objects or liquids. If the sound is interrupted, make sure the phone is not too far away or behind a thick wall.The Bluetooth 5.0 range is about 10 meters in open space.

• 🔇 No sound: Check the volume on the phone and the earphone itself.
• 🔌 No charge: Wipe your contacts with an alcohol napkin.
• 📶 Communications cut off: Disconnect other Bluetooth devices nearby.
• 🔄 Rassynchrone: Complete the procedure of a complete reset (5 touches).

⚠️ Note: When cleaning the speaker mesh, do not use water or chemical solvents to avoid damaging the speaker membrane.

In rare cases, a firmware update may be required if the manufacturer has released a new version to improve stability. However, for the Basic 2 model, the update is most often automatically when connected to a smartphone with the Mi Wear app installed. If problems persist after all the manipulations, there may be a hardware defect that requires contacting the service.
