Steps

  1. Put both earbuds into the charging case and leave the lid open. Make sure the case has some charge so the reset is not cut short.

  2. On your phone or laptop, open Bluetooth settings and remove or forget the Nord Buds 3 Pro from the saved device list.

  3. Press and hold the function button on the case for about 10 seconds. Watch for the case light to flash, which signals the reset.

  4. Release the button and wait for the light to settle. The buds are now back to factory settings with no saved pairings.

  5. Close the case for a few seconds, then open it again and keep the buds inside.

  6. Turn on Bluetooth on your device and open the pairing screen. Keep the device within a metre of the case.

  7. Select the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro from the list of available devices. Accept any pairing prompt that appears.

  8. Play a short track or test call to confirm both earbuds connect and sound comes through each side.

Tips and common mistakes

Charge the case before resetting, since a low battery can stop the reset from completing.

Forget the buds on every device you paired before, or the old pairing can block a fresh connection.

If the reset does not work, clean the charging contacts on the buds and case with a dry cloth and try again.

Questions

Will resetting delete my settings?

Yes. A reset returns the buds to factory defaults and removes all saved Bluetooth pairings. You will need to pair them again.

Where is the reset button on the Nord Buds 3 Pro case?

The function button sits on the charging case. Press and hold it with the buds inside and the lid open.

What if the buds still will not pair after a reset?

Restart your phone or laptop, turn Bluetooth off and on, then pair again. Try a second device to see if the fault is with the buds or the source.
