Quick answer

To set up your TECKNET TK-HS013 headphones, first charge them fully, then pair via Bluetooth, and finally activate ANC for immersive audio. Follow the steps below to avoid common pitfalls.

Before you start: what’s in the box

Your TECKNET TK-HS013 package includes the headphones, a USB-C charging cable, an audio cable for wired use, and a user manual. The headphones arrive with a partial charge, so charging them fully before first use ensures you get the full 70-hour playtime in standard mode.

Bluetooth range and interference

The TK-HS013 uses Bluetooth 5.0, which offers a stable connection up to 33 feet (10 meters) in open space. Walls and other electronics can reduce range. For best pairing results, keep your phone or computer within 3 feet during initial setup.

Step-by-step setup

Charge the headphones: Connect the included USB-C cable to the headphones and a USB power source (5V/1A adapter or computer port). The LED indicator turns red during charging and blue when fully charged. A full charge takes about 2 hours. Don’t use a fast-charger above 5V/2A; it may not charge faster and could affect battery longevity.
Enter pairing mode: Press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds until the LED flashes red and blue alternately. The headphones announce “Pairing” in the earcup. If the LED doesn’t flash both colors, the headphones may already be connected to a previous device. Disconnect that device first.
Connect via Bluetooth: On your phone, tablet, or computer, open Bluetooth settings and select “TECKNET TK-HS013” from the list. If prompted for a PIN, enter 0000. A voice prompt confirms “Connected”. If the name doesn’t appear, turn Bluetooth off and on again on your source device, or move closer (within 3 feet).
Activate Active Noise Cancellation: Press the ANC button on the left earcup once. You’ll hear “Noise cancelling” and the LED turns green. Press again to cycle to Ambient mode or turn ANC off. ANC works best for constant low-frequency sounds (engine hum, fan noise) but is less effective for sudden sharp noises like a door slam.
Test audio and controls: Play music or a call. Use the volume +/- and multifunction button (play/pause, skip tracks, answer calls) on the right earcup. Adjust the headband for a snug fit. If sound is distorted, check that the audio cable isn’t plugged in—it mutes Bluetooth audio. Also ensure ANC is not causing feedback in very quiet environments.
