These touch controls offer convenient, hands-free management of your audio and calls. Familiarize yourself with these gestures for optimal usability. Consistent touch pressure yields the best results, ensuring accurate command recognition.
Playback Control (Play/Pause, Next/Previous)
Managing your music with the I12 TWS earbuds is incredibly simple using the touch controls. To play or pause your current track, simply tap either the left or right earbud once. This single tap provides instant control without needing to reach for your device.
To skip to the next track in your playlist, perform a quick double-tap on the right earbud. Conversely, to return to the previous track, double-tap the left earbud. These intuitive gestures allow for seamless navigation through your music library. Ensure your fingers make firm contact with the earbud surface for reliable operation. These controls work across most music streaming applications.
Volume Adjustment
Controlling the volume of your audio is easily achieved with the I12 TWS earbuds’ intuitive touch controls. To increase the volume, gently tap the right earbud three times in quick succession.

Be mindful of your listening environment and adjust the volume accordingly to protect your hearing. The earbuds will provide a subtle audio cue confirming each volume adjustment. Ensure your taps are deliberate for optimal responsiveness.
Answering & Ending Calls
The I12 TWS earbuds offer seamless call management through simple touch controls. To answer an incoming call, simply tap the right earbud once. This action immediately connects you to the caller, allowing for hands-free communication. A clear audio prompt will confirm the call has been answered.
To end an active call, tap the right earbud once again. This disconnects the call, returning you to your audio or ambient sound. Alternatively, you can also end a call by utilizing the voice assistant on your connected device. Ensure the earbuds are securely fitted for optimal call clarity. The built-in microphone provides clear voice transmission. Remember to keep the earbuds charged for uninterrupted call functionality.
Activating Voice Assistant (Siri/Google Assistant)
Your I12 TWS earbuds provide convenient access to your device’s voice assistant – Siri for iOS users and Google Assistant for Android. To activate the voice assistant, simply perform a triple tap on the left earbud. This action will immediately launch your chosen assistant, indicated by a visual or auditory cue from your smartphone.
Once activated, you can issue voice commands to make calls, send messages, play music, get directions, and much more, all hands-free. Ensure your device is connected to the internet for optimal voice assistant performance. The I12 earbuds’ built-in microphone ensures clear voice capture for accurate command recognition. Experiment with different voice commands to fully utilize this feature. Keep the earbuds charged for consistent voice assistant access.
Charging the Earbuds & Charging Case
