Step 1 — Place both earbuds in the charging case

Whether you replaced an earbud or the charging case itself, make sure both earbuds and the case are together before starting the pairing process.

Step 2 — Remove Nothing Ear (a) from Bluetooth

Open your device's Bluetooth Settings. Find your Nothing Ear (a), then select Forget Device or Remove Device.

Step 3 — Charge if needed

If the earbuds or charging case have a low battery, place both earbuds in the case and charge for at least 30 minutes before continuing.

Step 4 — Reset the earbuds

Place both earbuds in the charging case and leave the lid open. Press and hold the pairing button on the charging case for approximately 10 seconds until the indicator light begins flashing.

Flashing white light: The earbuds have been reset and are ready to pair.

No flashing light: Make sure both earbuds are seated correctly in the charging case and try again.

Step 5 — Connect your Nothing Ear (a)

Open the charging case lid and keep the earbuds inside the case.

Open your device's Bluetooth Settings and select Nothing Ear (a) from the list of available devices.

You can also use the Nothing X app to complete setup and customize your earbuds.

Optional — Reset Again

If your Nothing Ear (a) still aren't pairing correctly, repeat the reset process and try pairing again.
