How to Fix WhenSoundcore Earbuds Keep Disconnecting?
Note: Have you tried removing and placing the earbuds back in from the case 3 times?
1. Verify Earbuds are Charged Sufficiently
The earbuds could be disconnecting primarily due to issues with the charging capacity or the charging equipment.
Consecutively, the first step is to ensure the Soundcore case is charged to a sufficient battery (80% or more) capacity and check if your earbuds would still disconnect.
Similar to other earbuds, the capsule of your Soundcore earbuds uses a standard micro-USB charger and a regular adapter to charge over an outlet.
So, ensure the charger is firmly connected and allow the charging case to charge for at least 30–35 minutes before testing the Bluetooth.
How to Check Soundcore Earbuds for Charging Issues?
There’s a possibility that the earbuds have developed an underlying issue with the charging, resulting in pairing issues with the earbuds.
Hence, we recommend the following:
- Ensuring all of your charger’s connections are secured.
- Charging the Soundcore case through a different outlet.
- Removing third-party equipment from the charging setup.
- Changing or replacing the charging wire or power adapter.
Note: After ensuring none of these issues are present in your setup, pair the earbuds to your device and check if the connection is persistent.
2. Shorten the Wireless Signal Distance
Regardless of the device, your earbuds are connected to, they must remain within a particular distance in order to maintain the wireless connection.
Well, with that being said, the maximum length of the earbuds’ wireless connection tends to be about ~32 feet or 10 meters.
So, ensure the earbuds remain within a set distance of 25–30 feet or fewer in order to avoid future disconnects.
How to Check for Wireless Interference?
If interference is present, it may actively conflict with the signal range of the Soundcore earbuds and cause them to disconnect, even if they are within range.
So, wireless devices, Bluetooth transmitters, or metallic surfaces could reflect the signal of your earbuds and produce drops.
Important: Verify no other interfering devices are within a 30 feet radius of your earbuds to prevent potential disconnects.
3. Re-enable Device’s Bluetooth Feature
In most cases, a problem with your device’s Bluetooth function may lead to issues with the consistent connection of the earbuds.
So, we recommend temporarily setting the Bluetooth function of your device to “Off” and reconnecting the earbuds once it is re-enabled.

In the meantime, ensure no other devices are connected to your phone or computer, before pairing the earbuds.
4. Forget & Re-Add the Earbuds’s Profile
