Whether you’re using an iPhone, Android phone, tablet, or even a computer, we’ve got you covered. Let’s get started and get those earbuds connected!
Understanding Bluetooth and Your Tozo Earbuds
Before we jump into the connection process, let’s briefly talk about Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over short distances. Your TOZO earbuds use Bluetooth to connect to your smartphone, tablet, or other audio sources.
Bluetooth works by pairing devices. This is a one-time process where your device and your earbuds establish a connection. Once paired, they should automatically connect whenever they’re within range and powered on. Bluetooth uses radio waves to transmit audio data. This means that you don’t need a physical cable to enjoy your music. The range of Bluetooth devices varies, but typically, you can expect a range of around 30-50 feet. Be aware that walls and other obstacles can reduce this range.
TOZO earbuds come in various models, each with slightly different features and designs. However, the core connection process remains largely the same across all models. The earbuds will typically have a charging case, which also serves as the primary power source. When you take the earbuds out of the case, they usually enter pairing mode automatically, making the connection process seamless.
Connecting Your Tozo Earbuds: Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s a detailed guide on how to connect your TOZO earbuds to your device. We’ll cover both Android and iOS devices, as well as some general tips that apply to other devices.
Connecting to an Android Device
Connecting your TOZO earbuds to an Android device is simple. Follow these steps:
- Charge Your Earbuds: Ensure your TOZO earbuds are charged. Place them in the charging case, close the lid, and let them charge for at least 30 minutes. A fully charged case is essential for the initial pairing process. If your earbuds are new, they may come with a small charge, but it’s best to start with a full charge. Check the charging case’s LED indicator to know the charging status.
- Enable Bluetooth: On your Android device, go to the Settings app. Find the ‘Bluetooth’ option, usually under ‘Connections’ or ‘Connected devices’. Tap on it to enter the Bluetooth settings. Make sure Bluetooth is turned ‘ON’. You should see a toggle switch; if it’s grayed out, tap it to enable Bluetooth.
- Put Your Earbuds in Pairing Mode: Take your TOZO earbuds out of their charging case. Some models will automatically enter pairing mode when removed from the case. If they don’t, you may need to press and hold a button on the earbuds (check your user manual for specific instructions on your model). The earbuds will usually flash a light to indicate they are in pairing mode.
- Scan for Devices: On your Android device’s Bluetooth settings screen, you should see a list of available devices. If your TOZO earbuds are in pairing mode, they should appear in the list. Tap the ‘Refresh’ or ‘Scan’ button if you don’t see them immediately. The device name will often be ‘TOZO’ followed by a model number, such as ‘TOZO T10’ or ‘TOZO NC9’.
- Select Your Earbuds: Once your TOZO earbuds appear in the list, tap on their name to select them. Your Android device will attempt to connect to the earbuds. You might see a pairing request pop up on your screen.
- Pair and Connect: If prompted, tap ‘Pair’ or ‘OK’ to confirm the pairing request. Your device will now connect to your TOZO earbuds. You should see the earbuds’ status change from ‘Available’ to ‘Connected’. You may also hear a confirmation sound in your earbuds.
- Test the Connection: Open a music app, YouTube, or any other app that plays audio. Play some music or a video to test the connection. If you hear audio through your earbuds, the connection was successful!
Important Note: If you have previously paired your TOZO earbuds with another device, make sure that device’s Bluetooth is turned OFF or that the earbuds are disconnected from it. This prevents interference during the pairing process.
Connecting to an iOS Device (iphone/ipad)
The process of connecting your TOZO earbuds to an iPhone or iPad is very similar to connecting to an Android device. Here are the steps:

- Enable Bluetooth: On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app. Tap on ‘Bluetooth’. Make sure the Bluetooth toggle is turned ‘ON’ (it will be green when enabled).
- Put Your Earbuds in Pairing Mode: Take your TOZO earbuds out of the charging case. They should automatically enter pairing mode. If not, consult your user manual for model-specific instructions.
- Find Your Earbuds: In the Bluetooth settings, your iPhone/iPad will start searching for available devices. Your TOZO earbuds should appear in the list of available devices. They will likely be listed as ‘TOZO’ followed by the model number.
- Select Your Earbuds: Tap on the name of your TOZO earbuds in the list. Your iPhone or iPad will attempt to connect to the earbuds.
- Pair and Connect: Once the connection is established, your earbuds will be listed under ‘My Devices’ and the status will show ‘Connected’. You should also hear a confirmation sound in your earbuds.

Quick Tip: If you’ve previously connected your TOZO earbuds to another Apple device (like a Mac), they might automatically connect to the last device they were used with. Make sure your earbuds are not connected to another device before attempting to pair them with your iPhone or iPad.
