To pair Coby wireless earbuds, open the charging case or turn the earbuds on, which typically triggers automatic pairing mode.
How to pair Coby wireless earbuds
Pairing true wireless earbuds from Coby is designed to be straightforward. For most models, the earbuds enter pairing mode automatically when the charging case is opened or when they are powered on. Once they are in pairing mode, you simply enable Bluetooth on your phone and select the earbuds from the list of available devices. Follow these steps for a successful first-time connection.
Step 1: Open the case to start pairing mode
To begin, open the charging case or turn the earbuds on if your model uses a power button. If your Coby earbuds have dual power buttons, press and hold both buttons simultaneously to turn them on. This action typically triggers automatic pairing mode, which is indicated by the status lights flashing red and blue alternately. The earbuds may automatically enter True Wireless stereo pairing mode when turned on, preparing them to connect to your phone.
Step 2: Turn on your phone's Bluetooth
On an iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. On Android devices, go to the device's Bluetooth settings and enable Bluetooth. Once Bluetooth is active, your phone will begin scanning for nearby accessories.
Step 3: Select your Coby earbuds from the list
Wait for the earbuds to appear in the Bluetooth list on your phone. The exact name that appears depends on your specific model. Look for one of these names: CETW516, CETW527, CETW530WH, CETW571, CETW634WH, CETW645, or a generic name such as Coby Earbuds or Coby Active Earbuds. Tap the name to connect. For example, the manual for the CETW516 model instructs you to search for CETW516 and then tap it to connect. For the CETW527 model, the earbuds automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode after the True Wireless stereo connection, and you then tap CETW527 to connect. After the first successful pairing, the earbuds reconnect automatically to the last paired device when removed from the case or turned on again.
What to do if the earbuds don't appear
If the earbuds do not appear in the Bluetooth list, first ensure they are in pairing mode. The flashing red and blue lights confirm this. If they are not flashing, open the case or turn them off and on again to restart the pairing process. If the earbuds were previously paired with another device, you may need to 'forget' that device in its Bluetooth settings before pairing with a new device. To reset Coby wireless earbuds, turn them off, press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds until the indicator lights start flashing, then release and wait for the earbuds to reset. Apple advises consulting the accessory manual for how to make it discoverable.
