Before You Start – Quick Preparation Checklist
Before you dive into pairing your POCKUL wireless earphones, let’s get a few quick prep steps out of the way. This will save you time and keep things smooth.
- Charge your earbuds and charging case fully. Low battery can cause pairing issues or interruptions.
- Update your phone’s operating system and your earbuds’ firmware if updates are available. New updates often fix bugs and improve Bluetooth performance.
- Keep your earbuds within 1 meter (about 3 feet) of your phone during pairing to maintain a strong connection.
- Turn off nearby Bluetooth devices that aren’t in use. This reduces interference and helps your earbuds pair faster.
Get these ready, and you’ll have a much easier time connecting your wireless earphones. It’s simple, but critical!
How to Connect Wireless Earphones to Android Phones (Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, etc.)
To connect your POCKUL wireless earphones to an Android phone, start by opening the charging case and keeping the earbuds inside. They will power on automatically. Next, press and hold the button on the case—or the touch area on some models—until the LED light flashes rapidly. This means the earbuds are in Bluetooth pairing mode.
Now, on your phone, go to Settings → Connections → Bluetooth, and turn Bluetooth on. Look for your POCKUL earbuds in the list, which usually show up as model names like “POCKUL X99” or “POCKUL Apro4.” Tap the name to connect. If your phone asks for permissions, allow access to contacts and call audio to get the full experience.
Once connected successfully, you’ll hear a voice prompt saying “Connected,” and the LED on the case will show a steady light.

Troubleshooting – Why Your Wireless Earphones Won’t Connect & Fixes
If your POCKUL wireless earphones won’t connect to your phone, don’t worry—most connection issues have simple fixes. Here’s what to check and how to resolve common problems:
-
Earbuds already paired to another device: If your earbuds are connected elsewhere, they might not connect to your phone. Try resetting them to clear the previous connection. For each POCKUL model, factory reset usually involves holding down the case button or earbuds button until the LED flashes red and white. Check the exact reset procedure in the POCKUL manual or support page.
How to factory reset POCKUL earbuds:
| Model | Reset Steps |
|—————–|————————————————-|
| POCKUL X99 | Hold case button 10 seconds until LED flashes |
| POCKUL Apro4 | Press and hold both earbuds’ touch areas 5 sec |
| POCKUL A12 Pro | Hold button on right earbud 8 seconds |
(For exact combos, refer to your model’s guide or the POCKUL A12 Pro earbuds page.) -
Forget device on phone and re-pair: Sometimes your phone keeps old connection info that blocks new pairing. Go to Bluetooth settings, “Forget” your earbuds, then start pairing fresh.
-
Clear Bluetooth cache on Android: Android devices can store corrupted Bluetooth data. Go to Settings → Apps → Bluetooth → Storage → Clear Cache. This often fixes pairing errors like “Connection unsuccessful.”
-
Interference from Wi-Fi 6 routers or microwave ovens: Bluetooth operates on the 2.4GHz band, which is shared with many Wi-Fi routers and some household appliances. Try moving away from these devices or turning them off temporarily to improve pairing.
-
Low battery false pairing issues: Low earbud battery can make pairing unstable or fail outright. Fully charge both earbuds and the case before connecting.
-
“Connection unsuccessful” error fixes:
- Restart your phone and earbuds
- Reset earbuds and phone’s Bluetooth
- Switch off other paired devices nearby
- Update your phone OS and earbuds firmware
If you continue to have issues, the free POCKUL app can guide you through diagnostics and firmware updates for better performance.

How to Switch Between Two Devices (Phone + Laptop/Tablet)
With POCKUL wireless earphones, switching between your phone and another device like a laptop or tablet is simple, especially with the latest models designed for seamless connectivity.
Auto-Switching on Latest POCKUL Models
Newer POCKUL models support auto-switching, meaning your earbuds will automatically connect to the device that’s actively playing audio. For example, if you’re listening to music on your phone and then start a video call on your laptop, the earbuds will switch over without manual intervention. This makes multitasking across devices smooth and hassle-free.
Manual Switching for Older Models
For older POCKUL earbuds without auto-switch features, follow these steps to switch devices:
- Disconnect the earbuds from the current device by turning off Bluetooth or selecting “Forget device” in the Bluetooth settings.
- Activate pairing mode on your earbuds by long-pressing the case button until the LED flashes rapidly.
- On the new device (phone, laptop, or tablet), go to Bluetooth settings, find your POCKUL earbuds model name, and tap to connect.
- If prompted, accept permissions for calls or contacts.
Keep in mind that manual switching may take a few seconds longer but still works reliably across all POCKUL models.
For users needing dependable audio on multiple devices, POCKUL earbuds offer an ideal mix of convenience and versatility. For multitasking setups, consider checking out the POCKUL Q2S Two-Mic Speaker & Mic system for enhanced communication options.
