Normally with devices like these its best to pair the two items together and then pair to an audio device such as your phone. Some get confused or wont work as a stereo pair if you try to pair them together AFTER pairing to the phone.
How would I go about pairing them together?
To clarify, these are the totally wireless mode lor they are wired between each bud ?
These are totally wireless; there is No wire connecting the two buds together.
Have you followed the manual instructed process ? - this explains it. See the link at the top of the page.
I have followed the manual and mine still will not pair together. Any help?
I had the same problem, this is what I did:
-Unpair the buds from phone or other device
-Turn off
bluetooth on device
-Turn on both buds
-Both say Power on, Pairing
-On the right bud press the multifunction Key 2
times
- Right bud says searching for...
-Then it'll say right channel and left bud will say, left channel
- Turn on bluetooth and pair to Tzumi
I hope it works for you!
Thanks Kia - your solution worked, I had the same problem as Sherri - the manual sucks!
100% Sucky manual. Thanks so much Kia!
THANK YOU SOOOOO Much ! The manual was not helpful at all. Bought these earbuds for my wife at Christmas and am now Finally able to use them as a stereo pair. You Rock !
I have the same problem but the left earbud does not even say pairing when i click the multifunction button twice. Help I really like these and I havent even used them much
This is what I do and no longer have any issues with pairing. - put both earbuds in your ear - press both
buttons at the same time until you hear power on for both. Then press and hold one of the earbuds for a couple of seconds - you will hear left or right channel message. Then pair to your blue tooth device.
Good luck
I was having the same issues. I could not get the left Bud to play sounds after it said it was powered on.
But Kia's instructions worked for me.
I had this issue and tried Kia's advice above with no success. Always the earbuds would get to the stage of Power On Pairing but then pushing the right multifunction button twice did nothing. Out of frustration for no other answer, I repeated the method over and over. Finally after about twenty times of repeating the method, I started pressing the right earbud multifunction button multiple times. All of a sudden I got the message searching for device followed by Earbuds Paired and each one saying Left or Right. Now everything works again.
Thanks to Larry I got them to work! If you try Kias suggestion and have no success I recommend trying Larrys method.
Thank you Kia, happy days, your tip worked perfectly.
It was driving me bonkers, now all is good.
Thanks again
Kia's solution worked well for me. I improvised slightly and held down both multi-function buttons for 10+ seconds and then completed two rapid presses o the right bud's multi-function button. It then said searching for slave and paired with the left bud a moment later.
Ive just purchased mines today, and was trying to team it together about 15x, gave up, did some research and came across these reviews that others were also having problems. After scrolling through some of the comments, Kias solution finally worked for me. All I wanted to hear was Team Successful, and I wasnt getting that at all. Now, I can hear my music from both buds instead of one which was irritating. Btw, I do have the AirPods as well. I just wanted to see how these turned out, and it sounds just as great as the AirPods. Thanks Kia for the info!! :)
can get one bud play at a time .Plus I get 2 Tzumi under devices. both will work but not at same time. worked fine on first pairing.HELP
Un-pair the ear buds from your phone completely. Turn off your Bluetooth. Turn both
ear buds off.
Turn both ear buds on at the same time. They may or may not both say pairing.
Press the button on the right ear bud twice. you should hear a bong sound come from both pods at the same time. (this step may take awhile to get.) Keep repeating until you get it. (sometimes after you turn them on it takes awhile for the buttons to catch the signal.)
Turn Bluetooth back on and pair pods to phone. You should only have to press one of the sound mates for it to pair to your
phone.
Play a song to see if both are paired. (Its the best way to really know if there paired together )
OMG Kia THANK YOU!! Thanks to you I didnt bust this headset on the damn floor lol. If anyone is having the same issue, keep doing it over and over until it works. It eventually works.
PLEASE HELP i can connect one tzumi earbud at a time but the other one will not connect did the other things they said in the comments but nothing worked how do you fix this
None of these worked until I decided to turn one ear phone on before the other and did what Larry said. You could try that as a last resort I assume.
Ive tried literally everything here and its still not working im about ready to smash these things with a hammer please help.
Kia's solution worked! This was driving me nuts - the phone recognized two earbuds and would only play out of one or the other. I turned off Bluetooth on my phone, powered on the earbuds and then pressed the right control button twice, fast. It said searching for slave and then said earbuds paired. Then one device showed up on my phone. The manual is useless. Blessings to Bluetoothdoctor.com. Awesome!
This worked great! Thanks for the help. I had been trying to fix the problem, but could not find a solution. I finally found this thread and Kia's suggestion worked. Thanks for all the great help!
Kia's solution worked for me the first time but now my lest earbuds doesn't say pairing when I turn it so it can't connect to the other one. How do I make it say pairing?
I was able to pair both left and right buds together successfully. Then turned my phone's bluetooth on and ........only right bud plays with a slight buzz noise from the left bud. The only work around I was able to find was an option on my phone (galaxy s8 active) for dual audio in my sound settings. Turned it on and was able to listen to both buds. Now I must decide if I wish to take this set back and try another set or go with the work around. Happy yet sad at the moment.
Excellent! That worked for me. Thank you so much.
ok, so i literally tried everything that everyone said in this page and nothing! my earphones do not want to pair each other at all! and i am really just about to give up on them. someone please help. thankyou.
I used Kia's response to connect them to each other. I was only getting sound out of one ear on my Galaxy 8. They worked fine on my computer though so I knew that it was not the ear buds. If you go into the settings for your Bluetooth on a galaxy phone it has to option to send to multiple devices. This is turned off as the default. Once I turned it on and reconnected they work great.
Kia should write the manual for this company. Thank you!!
Thanks Paired together finally Awsome
Thanks Kia & Larry.
We finally have the buds synced . . .then paired.
Steve
we have done all these suggestions but it seems to only play the right ear even though it sometimes says Left channel right channel .. any other suggestions? i have an S7
I have an S7 and couldn't pair as well. I tried the first solution and failed several times, but try again you have to press the right bud button twice in rapid succestion just right and then both buds did pair. Try again.
I have looked at countless forums and blogs for different solutions, I have only found two solutions that have worked, as the one posted here worked, for when I accidentally turned the earbuds on out of sync, but upon turning the ear buds off and back on again they were unpaired, yet again, and were then not pairing again, The left ear would say power on but no pairing and would have no flashing red and blue light to signify bluetooth pairing, or even a light at all I kept
thinking it was dead or turned off, the right ear would say power on and then pairing and it would flash red and blue signifying pairing, and I could pair the right to my bluetooth were as the left wouldn't even show up. All the other solutions posted on other forums were bogus, or just used for a different product or version I assume.
Kia's instruction from this forum worked, which are:
-Unpair the buds from phone or other device
-Turn off bluetooth on device
-Turn on both
buds
-Both say Power on, Pairing
-On the right bud press the multifunction Key 2
times
- Right bud says searching for...
-Then it'll say right channel and left bud will say, left channel
- Turn on bluetooth and pair to Tzumi
The second method that worked for me once Kia's method wasn't working was:
- Turn bluetooth off.
- Hold the function button on both ear buds until they both turn on.
- Let go of the function buttons, and then hold the function button yet
again for 20 seconds, until both earbuds turn off, and then keep holding it down.
- Let go and then hold the function buttons on both ear buds for around 15 seconds once again to turn them back on, you should get the obligatory Pairing prompt, but this time both ear buds should say it in sync or close to one another (they not paired yet though), and your bluetooth list should have two Tzumi products.
- At this point just double click the right ear buds function button in a quick fashion
so you get the searching for slaves? prompt, and both ear buds should connect together and you should get the left ear right ear prompt.
Thanks Kia, I was getting very frustrated before I read your response! Worked like a charm.
Thank you vey much, Joe! It worked!
Joe buddy. i dont have words to thanks you.
your second mathod works for my airpods clone.
love you.
OMG @kIA thank you so much for your help. I was going crazy with this earbuds! The manual sucks!!!
Left earpod doesn't show any signs of life whatsoever yet the charge light comes on when in charger. Help.please
Becky, this is what worked for me. I've owned a dozen of these earbuds and sometimes you need to do
a "hard reset":
1. Turn on the earbuds and upair them from the phone.
2. Turn off your phone's Bluetooth and turn off power to the earbuds.
3. Turn on the earbuds by pressing both power buttons and hold them down until you hear "Pairing" from both earbuds. This will take five to ten seconds.
4. Release the power buttons.
5. Press the right one twice quickly. The right one will say "Searching for slave."
6. In a few seconds, you should hear from both earbuds "Pairing Success.
Left channel. Right channel."
7. Turn your Bluetooth back on and re-pair the earbuds with your phone.
You may need to do this several times.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I too was going crazy trying to figure this out... thought i was going to have to spend the money for airPods ;)
Sweet! Totally worked! Thx!
My left one wont even turn on? And pressing the button on the right only skips the songs.. really getting agitated! Lol
No matter what I try, the left one doesnt pair. These the worst air buds out there. I will have to get something else.
