The basic connection process

Raycon earbuds connect through Bluetooth, the same wireless standard your phone uses for most audio devices. The first time you pair them, you'll turn on Bluetooth discovery mode on the earbuds, then select them from your phone's Bluetooth menu. After that first pairing, they'll reconnect automatically when you turn them on and your phone's Bluetooth is active.

The exact steps depend slightly on whether you're using an iPhone, Android phone, or computer, but the core idea is the same: put the earbuds in pairing mode, then tell your device to find and remember them. Most people complete this in under two minutes.

Key Takeaways

  • Raycon earbuds enter pairing mode by holding the button on the charging case for 10 to 15 seconds until the LED flashes blue and white.
  • On iPhone or Android, open Bluetooth settings, wait for "Raycon" to appear in the available devices list, and tap it to pair.
  • After the first pairing, the earbuds reconnect automatically whenever Bluetooth is on, so you won't repeat this process unless you reset them.
  • If the earbuds don't appear in your device's Bluetooth list, try holding the case button for a full 20 seconds, then check again.
  • Pairing a second device (like a tablet or computer) requires putting the earbuds back into pairing mode, which erases the memory of the first device.

Pairing Raycon earbuds with an iPhone

Start by placing both earbuds in the charging case and closing the lid. Locate the small button on the back of the case — this is your pairing button. Press and hold it for 10 to 15 seconds. You'll see the LED light on the case begin to flash blue and white. This flashing pattern means the earbuds are now in pairing mode and searching for a device to connect to.

On your iPhone, open Settings, then tap Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on — the toggle at the top should be green. Wait a few seconds for your phone to scan for nearby devices. You should see "Raycon" appear in the list under "Other Devices." Tap on it. Your iPhone will connect, and you'll see a checkmark next to "Raycon" and the status will change to "Connected."

Once connected, take the earbuds out of the case. They'll power on automatically and connect to your iPhone. You can now play audio and the sound will come through the earbuds. The next time you turn on the earbuds near your iPhone with Bluetooth active, they'll reconnect without you doing anything.

Pairing Raycon earbuds with an Android phone

The process on Android is nearly identical to iPhone. Place both earbuds in the charging case, then hold the button on the back of the case for 10 to 15 seconds until the LED flashes blue and white.

Open your phone's Settings app. Look for "Bluetooth" or "Connected devices" — the exact name varies by phone manufacturer. Tap it, then make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone will begin scanning. When "Raycon" appears in the list of available devices, tap it to pair. You'll see a confirmation message, and the status will show "Connected."

Remove the earbuds from the case and they'll turn on and connect automatically. From this point forward, whenever your Android phone's Bluetooth is on and the earbuds are powered on, they'll reconnect on their own.

Pairing Raycon earbuds with a computer or tablet

The pairing process on a Mac, Windows computer, or iPad is the same as on phones, but the menu location differs slightly. First, put the earbuds in pairing mode by holding the case button for 10 to 15 seconds until you see the blue and white LED flash.

On a Mac, click the Apple menu, select System Settings, then click Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is on. Wait for "Raycon" to appear in the list of devices and click it to pair. On Windows, open Settings, go to Bluetooth & devices, make sure Bluetooth is on, then click "Add device" and select "Bluetooth." Wait for "Raycon" to appear and click it. On an iPad, open Settings, tap Bluetooth, make sure it's on, then tap "Raycon" when it appears.

Once paired, the earbuds will reconnect to that device whenever both are powered on and Bluetooth is active. However, Raycon earbuds typically remember only one device at a time. If you want to pair them with a different phone or computer, you'll need to put them back into pairing mode, which will erase the pairing with the previous device.

What to do if the earbuds don't appear in your Bluetooth list

If you've held the case button for 10 to 15 seconds and the LED is flashing but "Raycon" still doesn't show up in your device's Bluetooth menu, try holding the button for a full 20 seconds instead. Some Raycon models require a longer press to enter pairing mode reliably. Release the button and check your device's Bluetooth list again.

If the earbuds still don't appear, try restarting your phone or computer's Bluetooth. On iPhone or Android, go to Bluetooth settings and toggle it off, wait 10 seconds, then toggle it back on. On a computer, do the same in your Bluetooth settings. Then put the earbuds back into pairing mode and try again.

If you've tried these steps and the earbuds still won't appear, the charging case battery may be too low. Place the case on a charger for at least 15 minutes, then repeat the pairing process. A case with insufficient battery sometimes can't enter pairing mode properly.

Reconnecting after the initial pairing

After you've paired the earbuds once, you won't need to repeat the pairing process every time you use them. straightforward turn on your phone or computer's Bluetooth, take the earbuds out of the case, and they'll power on and reconnect automatically within a few seconds. You'll hear a tone in the earbuds when they connect.

If the earbuds don't reconnect after 10 seconds, check that Bluetooth is actually on on your device. If it is, try taking the earbuds out of the case again or turning them off and back on by placing them in the case for a few seconds, then removing them. In rare cases, you may need to forget the device and pair again, which requires going back into your Bluetooth settings, finding "Raycon," and selecting "Forget" or "Remove," then repeating the pairing steps from the beginning.

Pairing a second device or switching between devices

Raycon earbuds store the pairing information for one primary device. If you want to use them with a second phone, tablet, or computer, you have two options: forget the earbuds on the first device and re-pair them with the second, or put the earbuds back into pairing mode, which will erase the first pairing and create a new one with the second device.

To switch to a new device, hold the case button for 10 to 15 seconds until the LED flashes blue and white, then pair with the new device using the steps above. The earbuds will no longer reconnect to the first device automatically. If you want to go back to the original device later, you'll need to put them into pairing mode again.

Some Raycon models support multipoint pairing, which means they can stay connected to two devices at once and switch between them. Check your earbuds' manual or the Raycon website to see if your model has this feature. If it does, the pairing process is the same, but you'll pair with the second device without erasing the first pairing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my Raycon earbuds show up in Bluetooth settings?

The most common reason is that the earbuds aren't actually in pairing mode. Try holding the case button for a full 20 seconds — some models need a longer press than others. Also check that your phone or computer's Bluetooth is turned on. If the earbuds still don't appear after 30 seconds, restart your device's Bluetooth and try again.

Do I have to pair my Raycon earbuds every time I use them?

No. After the first pairing, they reconnect automatically whenever you turn them on and your device's Bluetooth is active. You only pair once per device. If they're not reconnecting, make sure Bluetooth is on and try taking the earbuds out of the case again.

Can I use Raycon earbuds with two phones at the same time?

Standard Raycon models pair with one device at a time. To switch to a second phone, put the earbuds back into pairing mode, which erases the first pairing. Some newer Raycon models support multipoint pairing — check your manual to see if yours does. If it does, you can pair with two devices and they'll switch automatically based on which one is playing audio.

What does the blue and white flashing light mean?

The blue and white flash means the earbuds are in pairing mode and ready to connect to a new device. Once you select them in your phone or computer's Bluetooth menu, the light will stop flashing and turn solid, indicating they're connected.

My earbuds paired before but now they won't reconnect. What should I do?

First, make sure Bluetooth is on on your device. If it is, try placing the earbuds back in the case for 10 seconds, then removing them. If that doesn't work, go to your Bluetooth settings, find "Raycon," and select "Forget" or "Remove." Then put the earbuds into pairing mode again and pair them as if it's the first time.
