How to Use Xiaomi Buds (Mi True Wireless Earphones) with HyperOS

Xiaomi's true wireless earphones (Xiaomi Buds 5, Redmi Buds 6 Pro, etc.) integrate deeply with HyperOS for seamless pairing and advanced control.

Initial Pairing

1. Open the earbuds case — keep buds inside to enter pairing mode.
2. Hold the case button for 3 seconds until the LED flashes white rapidly.
3. On your Xiaomi phone: Settings → Bluetooth → Scan → select your buds model.
4. Tap Pair on the prompt.

Faster HyperOS method:
- Open the case near your Xiaomi phone — a pop-up card appears automatically.
- Tap Connect on the card.

Accessing Xiaomi Earphone Settings

1. Settings → Connected devices → [Your Buds] → tap the gear icon.
2. Or: open Xiaomi Earphones app (installed automatically with HyperOS).

Available settings:

Touch Control Shortcuts (Redmi Buds 6 Pro defaults)

Controls are customizable in the Earphones app.

HyperOS Seamless Multi-Device Switching

Xiaomi Buds 4/5 and Redmi Buds 6 Pro support automatic device switching:
1. Connect buds to both your Xiaomi phone and a laptop/tablet.
2. When audio plays on a new device, buds switch automatically.
3. Enable in Earphones app → Multi-device connection → On.

Pro Tips

• LDAC codec provides higher audio quality than standard SBC/AAC — enable it for music listening (uses slightly more battery).
• If the pop-up pairing card doesn't appear, clear Bluetooth cache: Settings → Apps → Bluetooth → Clear cache.
• Redmi Buds 6 Pro's ANC performance is best with the correct ear tip size — try different tip sizes from the box.
