General Methods for Restarting Earbuds

• Power Reset: Remove the earbuds from the case and press and hold the power or multifunction button on the earbuds for about 10–15 seconds until the LED indicator flashes or changes color, then release. This often reboots or resets the earbuds.

• Charging Case Reset: Place the earbuds in the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, and then open the case again. For some models, holding a button on the case for 10 seconds until lights flash also resets the earbuds.

• Forget and Re-Pair: Remove (forget) the earbuds from the device’s Bluetooth list, turn off Bluetooth, and then re-enable it before pairing the earbuds with the device again.

• App-Based Reset: Many wireless earbuds have a companion app that offers a reset or restart option in the settings. Follow the app instructions for a software-level reset.

• Manual Recharge Reset: Completely drain the earbuds’ batteries, recharge them fully, and then attempt to pair them again, which acts as a hard reset.

Brand-Specific Examples

• Bose: Place earbuds in the charging case, connect the case to power, then press and hold the Bluetooth button inside the case for 30 seconds.

• JBL: Double-tap the button on the right earbud, then on the third tap, hold the button for more than 5 seconds until the earbuds shut off, resetting them.

• Sony: Press and hold the button on either earbud for about 20 seconds to reset.

Troubleshooting Notes

• If pairing or connection issues persist, unpairing the earbuds from all devices and pairing afresh solves most problems.

• For stubborn issues, a factory reset (see brand-specific instructions) may resolve deeper glitches.

• If the earbuds seem unresponsive even after trying the above steps, consult the product’s user manual, as some models require unique procedures.

These methods help restart nearly any Bluetooth earbuds without rebooting the computer, and are safe for most brands and models.
