To connect your Miniso bluetooth headphones, simply put them into pairing mode (usually by long-pressing the power button or removing them from the charging case) and select the device name (e.g., MINISO-M01) in your smartphone’s Bluetooth settings. This process is generally seamless, but specific steps can vary slightly depending on whether you are using True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds or Over-Ear models.
Key Takeaways: Connecting Your Miniso Headphones
If you are in a hurry, here is the essential checklist to get your Miniso audio device up and running:
- Pairing Mode: Look for flashing Red and Blue LEDs.
- Device Discovery: Ensure Bluetooth is “On” and “Visible” on your phone or PC.
- Common Name: Most devices appear as “MINISO” followed by a model number.
- Distance: Stay within 1 meter during the initial pairing process.
- Reset Fix: If one earbud doesn’t connect, place both back in the case and try again.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Connect Miniso Bluetooth Headphones
Connecting your Miniso gear shouldn’t be a headache. Based on our hands-on testing with the Miniso Life and Disney x Miniso series, here is the most reliable method.
Step 1: Prepare Your Headphones
For TWS Earbuds, remove both earbuds from the charging case simultaneously. They will usually power on and enter pairing mode automatically.
For Over-Ear or Neckband Headphones, press and hold the Power/Multifunction button for 3 to 5 seconds. You should hear a voice prompt saying, “The Bluetooth device is ready to pair.”
Step 2: Enable Bluetooth on Your Device
Navigate to the Settings menu on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Locate the Bluetooth toggle and switch it to On.
Step 3: Scan for New Devices
Tap on “Pair New Device” or “Scan”. Your device will begin searching for local Bluetooth signals.
Step 4: Select the Miniso Model
Under the “Available Devices” list, look for the MINISO entry. It will likely look like one of the following:
- MINISO-M01
- MINISO-M06
- MINISO-T20
- Miniso-Simple
Step 5: Confirm the Connection
Tap the device name. You may see a pop-up asking for permission to pair; tap “Pair” or “OK”. Once connected, the LED lights on the headphones will stop flashing, and you will hear a “Connected” prompt.
Understanding Miniso Bluetooth Models
Miniso offers a wide variety of audio products. Choosing the right connection method depends on the specific hardware design.

| Battery Life | 3-5 hours (plus case) | 10-20 hours | 8-12 hours |
Connecting to Different Platforms
While the process is similar across the board, different operating systems have unique menu paths.
How to Connect to iPhone (iOS)
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth.
- Ensure Bluetooth is toggled green.
- Place your Miniso headphones in pairing mode.
- Select the device from the “Other Devices” list at the bottom.
How to Connect to Android
- Swipe down the Notification Shade and long-press the Bluetooth icon.
- Tap “Pair new device”.
- When the Miniso name appears, tap it to sync.
- If prompted for a passcode, try 0000 or 1234 (though rarely needed for modern Miniso models).
How to Connect to Windows 10/11
- Press the Windows Key + I to open Settings.
- Go to Bluetooth & devices > Add device.
- Choose “Bluetooth” from the pop-up list.
- Select your Miniso device and wait for the “Your device is ready to go!” message.
Troubleshooting Common Pairing Issues
If your Miniso bluetooth headphones are not showing up or only one side is playing, don’t panic. These budget-friendly devices often just need a quick reset.
The Device Name Isn’t Appearing
This usually happens if the headphones are already connected to a different device.
- Solution: Turn off Bluetooth on any nearby phones or laptops you previously used with the headphones. This forces the headphones back into “Discovery Mode.”
Only One Earbud is Working
This is a common “sync” issue where the left and right earbuds fail to find each other before connecting to your phone.
- Solution: Unpair/Forget the device from your Bluetooth list. Place both earbuds back in the case for 10 seconds. Take them both out at the exact same time and wait for them to blink together before tapping the name on your phone.
Audio Lag or Stuttering
Miniso headphones typically use Bluetooth 5.0 or 5.3. While stable, signal interference can occur.
- Solution: Ensure you are not near high-interference devices like microwave ovens or Wi-Fi routers. Check that your Miniso battery is above 20%, as low power can weaken the connection.
Expert Tips for Longevity and Performance
As someone who has tested dozens of budget-friendly audio solutions, I’ve found that Miniso products punch above their weight if maintained correctly.
- Avoid “Over-Charging”: Do not leave your headphones plugged in overnight. This can degrade the small lithium-ion batteries used in the Miniso Life series.
- Clean the Pins: If your TWS earbuds aren’t turning on to pair, clean the gold contact pins inside the case with a Q-tip and a drop of isopropyl alcohol.
- Firmware Updates: Most Miniso headphones do not have a dedicated app. To “update” them, simply “Forget” and “Re-pair” them to refresh the handshake protocol.
FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Miniso headphone flashing red and blue?
This indicates the device is in Pairing Mode. It is actively broadcasting a signal to be found by your phone or computer. Once connected, the flashing will usually stop or turn into a slow blue pulse.
What is the default pairing code for Miniso?
Most modern Miniso Bluetooth 5.0+ devices do not require a code. If your device is older and asks for one, the default is almost always 0000.
Can I connect Miniso headphones to two devices at once?
Most Miniso models do not support Multipoint Connection. You will need to disconnect from one device (e.g., your laptop) before you can successfully connect to another (e.g., your smartphone).
How do I reset my Miniso earbuds?
To reset most Miniso TWS models, place them in the charging case and long-press the touch sensors on both earbuds for about 10-15 seconds until the LED lights flash a specific pattern (usually three times).
Why do my Miniso headphones keep disconnecting?
The most frequent cause is Low Battery or exceeding the 10-meter (33-foot) range. Ensure your device is fully charged and that there are no thick walls between you and your phone.
