Steps

  1. Charge the earbuds in the case for about an hour before first use. A low battery can stop pairing from working.

  2. Open Settings on your phone or laptop and turn Bluetooth on. Keep the device within a metre of the earbuds.

  3. Take both earbuds out of the case. They usually power on and enter pairing mode automatically, with a light or voice prompt.

  4. In the Bluetooth list, find the entry named Hoco EQ34 Plus and tap it. Accept any pairing request that appears.

  5. If the earbuds do not appear, hold the touch area on both earbuds for about 5 seconds to force pairing mode, then search again.

  6. Install the Hoco app from the App Store or Google Play. Open it and allow Bluetooth permission when asked.

  7. Tap Add device or scan in the app and pick the EQ34 Plus from the list. Wait for the app to show it as connected.

  8. Open the earbud controls in the app and switch on ANC for noise cancelling. Use ENC for clearer calls.

  9. Test with a call or music. If sound stays on the phone speaker, disconnect and reconnect in Bluetooth settings.

Tips and common mistakes

Pair only one device at a time; the earbuds may refuse a second device while connected to the first.

If the app cannot find the earbuds, close other audio apps and check that location permission is allowed on Android.

ENC mainly helps the person on the other end of a call, so test it with a real call rather than music.
