Surprisingly, no matter how many wireless headsets made by Xiaomi or Redmi I have retested, I have not found clear information on rebooting them in any of the official instructions. Although very often during use, the headphones stop seeing each other, and they need to be re-synchronized with each other. Today I want to fill this gap in knowledge and figure out how to reset Xiaomi and Redmi headphones to factory settings. Then pair them again and connect them to your smartphone.
There are a huge number of varieties of Xiaomi wireless headphones and their sub-brands - Mi True Wireless Earbuds Basic 2, Mi Air 2, Redmi AirDots, Air 2 SE, Air 2 Pro, AirDots Pro, True Wireless Earphones. In this guide I tried to collect all the information in one place.
Reset your Xiaomi Redmi AirDots device
If you have already connected your headphones to your phone, they most likely refuse to work in sync. Music sounds from only one. If you press the button of another earphone, the music starts to sound in it, but the sound in the first one stops. And this can continue indefinitely. Let's fix this. First, unpair Redmi AirDots from your smartphone.
This is done in the bluetooth settings:
- We need to open the shortcut menu and select the Bluetooth button or find this window through the main settings; Bluetooth in smartphone settings
- One of the AirDots should appear in the list of connected devices. Click the button next to its name. Do the same with the second one. This could be a button with additional menus or a delete button; Click on the button next to the AirDots headphones
- Select “Delete” or confirm deleting the pairing of the device with the smartphone.
Manipulations with your mobile phone are completed. Now let's move on to setting up the headphones themselves. If Xiaomi Redmi AirDots still do not pair with each other, you need to reset their settings to factory settings. To do this, you need to take them out of the case and press the buttons simultaneously on both headphones.

Some tips to prevent this from happening again
There are actually some precautions to take to ensure that you do not face this problem in the future. Although this is not a perfect method, it will work in most cases.
- Never let your headphones' battery charge drop to zero. When you use the headphones, they will alert you with a beep when the battery level is as low as 10%. You can check the battery percentage on your phone. If it has already reached 10%, it is better to put it in the charging case.
- Never allow the charger to turn off. This will cause your headphones to remain constantly on in the charging case until the battery level reaches 0.

Full discharge
If, when you hold down the keys for a long time, the indicators on the headset do not light up, and the headset does not automatically turn off in the case, it means that the battery of the headphones or case is completely discharged to 0%. This problem is very easy to deal with. First, connect the docking station to a power source using a USB cable, and then place the Dots in the wireless “sockets”.
Defective battery
The battery sometimes fails completely and loses its capacity. This happens due to improper charging or prolonged use of Mi AirDots. The only way out is to replace the battery or purchase a new device.
