The TCL SOCL100BT are wireless in-ear headphones designed for enjoying music and making phone calls. They connect to smartphones or other Bluetooth® devices, offering high-quality sound and hands-free control.
The primary function of the SOCL100BT headphones is to provide a wireless audio experience for music playback and phone calls. They utilize Bluetooth® technology to establish a connection with compatible devices, eliminating the need for physical cables to the audio source. The headphones support several Bluetooth® profiles, including HFP (Hands-free profile) for call management, A2DP (Advanced audio distribution profile) for stereo audio streaming, and AVRCP (Audio video remote control profile) for controlling music playback.
The headphones feature an integrated control unit on the cable, which houses multiple buttons and indicators. This unit allows users to manage various functions without directly interacting with their connected smartphone. Key controls include volume adjustment (up and down), power on/off, pairing mode activation, music playback control (play/pause, skip forward, skip backward), and call management (pick up/hang up, switch callers, reject incoming calls). Additionally, the control unit integrates a microphone for voice communication during calls and for interacting with voice assistants.
A built-in LED indicator provides visual feedback on the headphone's status, such as charging, pairing, and connection status. The headphones are powered by an integrated rechargeable battery, which can be charged via a micro USB port located on the control unit.
To begin using the SOCL100BT headphones, users first need to charge them. The initial charge is recommended for 5 hours to optimize battery capacity and lifetime, with subsequent normal charges taking approximately 2 hours. Charging is done by connecting the supplied USB cable to the micro USB slot on the headphones and a charger or computer's USB port. The LED indicator turns white during charging and turns off when fully charged. It is important to use only a certified USB adaptor (DC 5V) for charging to prevent product damage.
Pairing the headphones with a smartphone or Bluetooth® device is a straightforward process. For first-time use, users press and hold the multi-function button for 5 seconds until the blue and white LEDs flash alternately, indicating pairing mode. Then, Bluetooth® needs to be enabled on the smartphone, and "TCL SOCL100BT" selected from the list of available devices. A password of '0000' may be required. Once paired, the blue LED will flash to confirm a successful connection. The headphones can remember up to 8 different devices, automatically reconnecting to the last connected device when powered on. If no Bluetooth® device is connected within 5 minutes, the headphones will automatically power off to conserve battery life.
The headphones come with three pairs of replaceable earcaps (Small, Medium, Large) to ensure a comfortable and secure fit for different ear sizes. Users can select the pair that best fits their ears for optimal sound quality and comfort.
Music control is intuitive:
Call control is also managed via the multi-function button:
The headphones also support voice assistant functionality. By pressing and holding the multi-function button for 2 seconds, users can activate Siri® or Google Assistant™ on their connected smartphone. Voice commands can then be given through the headphone's microphone.
Voice notifications provide updates on headphone status, such as low battery or connection status. The language of these voice notifications can be switched between English and Mandarin Chinese. To do this, after powering on the headphones, users press and hold the multi-function button and the '+' button simultaneously for 5 seconds until a sound signal confirms the language change.
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the SOCL100BT headphones, several maintenance guidelines should be followed.
In terms of battery maintenance, for optimal capacity and lifetime, the initial charge should be 5 hours. Subsequent charges should be around 2 hours. Always use the supplied USB charging cable and a certified DC 5V USB adaptor to prevent damage.
When the headphones reach the end of their life, proper disposal is crucial for environmental protection. Users should check local waste regulations for electronic products. The integrated battery should be removed and recycled separately before disposing of the headphones. TCL emphasizes eco-friendly practices and encourages users to take their product to an official collection point for recycling. Information on recycling solutions can often be found on the manufacturer's website.
