Follow these steps to pair Voicebuds with your Mac using the Subtle app. Pairing only needs to be done once — after that, Voicebuds reconnect automatically when you remove Voicebuds from the case near your Mac.
Before you start
- Voicebuds and the case have enough charge to power on
- Bluetooth is enabled on your Mac (System Settings → Bluetooth → ON)
- The Subtle app for Mac is open
Steps
- Confirm your earbuds are charged, Bluetooth is on, and the case is open near your phone.
- Go to Settings and select Connect Voicebuds.
- Press and hold the Pairing Button for 3 seconds until the light begins to slowly pulse white to indicate pairing mode.
- Open your device’s Bluetooth settings and select “Subtle Voicebuds” to pair.
- If macOS shows a Bluetooth pairing request, click Pair.
- Once paired, Voicebuds appear in System Settings → Bluetooth as a connected device.
Your Voicebuds can be paired to both your iPhone and Mac at the same time, but active audio only plays through one device at a time.
