If you’re wondering how to connect TOZO earbuds without running into constant Bluetooth hiccups, you’re not alone. I’ve tested more than a dozen TOZO models from the T6 to the NC9 and pairing them can be both straightforward and frustrating depending on the device you’re using. Whether you’re trying to link them to an iPhone, Android, PC, MacBook, or even your smart TV, the steps matter and the mistakes are almost always the same.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly what works based on real-world use, not recycled instructions. You’ll learn how to connect TOZO earbuds to iPhone, iPad, Android, and other platforms the right way plus what to do when your TOZO earbuds are not pairing or syncing properly. Let’s cut the confusion and get you connected in under two minutes.
How Do I Put TOZO in Pairing Mode?
To put TOZO earbuds in pairing mode, either press and hold the button on the charging case for five seconds until the earbuds flash red and blue, or, for models without a button, simply remove both earbuds from the case to activate pairing automatically.
Step-by-Step: How to Put TOZO Earbuds in Pairing Mode
The method depends on which model you own. Here’s how to do it right:
For TOZO earbuds with a case button (T10, NC9, NC2, etc.):
- Place both earbuds into the charging case.
- Open the lid but keep the earbuds inside.
- Press and hold the case button for about five seconds.
- Release when both earbuds begin flashing red and blue.
- They are now in pairing mode and visible to nearby devices.
For TOZO earbuds without a button (T6, A1 Mini, Golden X1):
- Open the case lid.
- Remove both earbuds simultaneously.
- Wait a few seconds for the LED lights to blink red and blue.
- If lights don’t flash, return them to the case, wait 10 seconds, and try again.
- Once flashing begins, the earbuds are in pairing mode.
What the LED Lights Mean
- Red and blue blinking: Pairing mode is active.
- Solid white or blue: Connected to a device.
- No lights: Earbuds are off or not in pairing mode.
If you’re unsure, always watch the LED patterns. They’re the most reliable indicator of connection status across all TOZO models.
Why Pairing Mode Can Vary by TOZO Model
TOZO earbuds don’t follow one universal setup. Some use a physical button, others rely on automatic triggers when removed from the case. That’s why following the model-specific steps matters.
Model | Pairing Method | LED Behavior |
---|---|---|
TOZO T10 | Case button (hold 5s) | Red/blue blinking |
TOZO T6 | Remove from case | White > red/blue blink |
TOZO NC9 | Case button or manual touch | Red/blue blinking |
TOZO A1 Mini | Auto-pair or touch + hold | White blinking |
If you’re unsure which pairing method applies to your specific model, refer to the official TOZO user manuals and setup guides for step-by-step support.

TOZO Earbuds Not Pairing: Common Causes and Solutions
If your TOZO earbuds are not pairing, they may be connected to another device, not in pairing mode, or experiencing a sync error. To fix this, reset the earbuds, remove any saved connections on your device, and follow a clean pairing process from the beginning.
Why Your TOZO Earbuds Won’t Show Up
If your earbuds aren’t showing in the Bluetooth list:
- They’re already connected to another device: If your phone, tablet, or laptop has connected to the earbuds before, it may automatically take over the connection.
- They’re not in pairing mode: TOZO earbuds must flash red and blue to become visible for pairing. If the lights aren’t blinking, they aren’t ready.
- Old Bluetooth data is interfering: Phones and computers can store past connections that conflict with new ones.
- Battery is too low: If one or both earbuds are undercharged, they may not respond at all.
How to Reset TOZO Earbuds (Works for Most Models)
To reset TOZO earbuds, first delete the earbuds from your device’s Bluetooth list. Then, place both earbuds in the charging case and press and hold both touch sensors for 10 to 15 seconds until the LEDs flash. This restores factory settings and resolves most pairing or connection issues.
If you’re still having trouble, follow this detailed guide to reset TOZO earbuds the right way before attempting to pair again.
