Follow these steps to pair Voicebuds with your iPhone using the in-app connection flow. Pairing only needs to be done once — after that, Voicebuds reconnect automatically when you open the case near your phone.
Before you start
- Voicebuds and the case have enough charge to power on
- Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone (Settings → Bluetooth → ON)
- The Subtle app for iOS 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.
- Wait for the flow to complete: Searching for your buds → Voicebuds found → Successfully paired.
- Once paired, Voicebuds appear in System Settings → Bluetooth as a connected device.
- Searching typically takes under 30 seconds if Voicebuds are powered on and close by.
- You may see a system Bluetooth pairing prompt — tap Pair to accept.
- After pairing, Voicebuds appear in iOS Settings → Bluetooth as a connected device.
