How to connect both sides of Xiaomi Bluetooth earphone

So you bought a Xiaomi earphone and only one side is working? Yeah, folks… we know how irritating this can be. But the good news is, there’s probably nothing wrong with it!

Find out what’s going on and what to do for both sides of the Xiaomi earphone to work:

Why does only one side of the Xiaomi earphone work?

It’s quite common for people to come home with their new Xiaomi Bluetooth earphone and find themselves in a heartbreaking situation: only one side is working. But it also happens that one side suddenly “stops working”, which leaves anyone confused.

What’s happening?

Stay calm! Before complaining to the store, or throwing your earphone in the trash, know that this usually happens when the connection was not made as it should.

Check it out: if you remove only one of the earphones from the charging base when pairing, the connection will be made in mono mode. This means that only the side removed from the base will be paired, so only it will transmit.

And if this happened to you, do not despair, because there is still a solution!
Follow the step by step to connect your Xiaomi earphone in stereo mode (two sides):

How to connect both sides of the Xiaomi Bluetooth earphone: Step 1

Remove the earphones from the charging base and select the ‘forget device’ option (for both) in the Bluetooth menu. This will make the smartphone disconnect the paired side in mono function, leaving both sides ready for re-pairing.

Put the earphones back on the base and wait for about 10 seconds. This step is very important, as it will make them turn off the Bluetooth connection and disconnect any pre-established settings.

Now, remove the earphones simultaneously (that’s where you went wrong before) and that’s it! Both sides will connect to each other and be ready for pairing in stereo mode.
