First Things First
Before diving right in, let’s take a quick look
at three VERY IMPORTANT things to address.
First and foremost: there is a plastic tab located
between the earbuds and charging case. Remove
the tab and throw it away. It is no longer needed.
The MP-20TWS wireless earbuds were designed
with sound and comfort in mind. That said,
for the best results, there are L/R markings
on the inside of the earbuds to determine each side.
Warning: The earbuds can be loud
and could cause permanent hearing
damage. Even intermediate levels
may be painfully loud. BE CAREFUL!
Always turn the volume all the way down before
putting on the earbuds. Then turn it up slowly
as you listen carefully.
Thanks for listening... now back to our regularly
scheduled programming!
. USB-C Power Connection
The earbuds are charged via the included case.
The earbuds may either be tucked away inside the case
or elsewhere. Your earholes, perhaps?! Then the case
is charged regardless of the location of the earbuds.
Here’s how: connect the USB-C side
of the detachable power cord (included
in the packaging) to the case and plug the other end
of the power cord into a standard USB-A connector.
A fully charged set of MP-20TWS earbuds
can last for up to 3+ hours of continuous usage...
and it takes only -2 hours for a completely dead
set to become fully charged once again! Furthermore,
the case adds an additional 40+ hours of playtime...
and who doesn’t like more playtime?!
2. Case Switch and 3. Status LEDs
The momentary case switch is pushed in order
to view battery level, place the earbuds into pairing
mode and reset the earbuds back to factory default.
The LEDs indicate the status of the earbuds, including
power, battery level and more.
• Battery Status: Pushing the case switch will
display the status of the batteries:
1 Push – Displays the earbuds battery status.
The earbuds’ battery levels are displayed
by the LEDs:
LED slowly flashing – Lef earbud is charging.
LED solid green – Lef earbud is fully charged.
LED 4 slowly flashing – Right earbud is charging.
LED 4 solid green – Right earbud is fully charged.
The earbuds inside the case will illuminate solid
red to indicate that they are being charged...
for crimes they did not commit! They’re also
having their batteries (re)charged.
2 Pushes – Displays the case battery status. The case’s battery level is displayed by the four LEDs:
LED – 0-25% charge
2 LEDs – 26-50% charge
3 LEDs – 5-75% charge
4 LEDs – 76-00% charge
If the case is at, say, 40% charged, then two
of the case LEDs will illuminate green and the
other two will flash green to indicate charging.
When fully charged, all four LEDs will illuminate
green.
3 Pushes – Turns the LEDs o. They will also turn o automatically afer three seconds of inactivity.
Please note that the earbuds should not
be used while charging. If that seems
implausible, one could argue that one
earbud could be charging while the other
is used for listening. Again, please do not do this.
• Bluetooth Pairing Mode: With the case open,
press and hold the case button down for three
seconds (with the earbuds in the case). All four
LEDs will flash quickly, then the earbuds will enter
pairing mode.

– with the earbuds in the case – to factory reset
them. LEDs and 3 will illuminate and flash
quickly to indicate success.
• BT Pairing Mode: Earbud LEDs flash blue and red.
• BT Connected: Earbud LEDs are o.
4. Lef Earbud
The inside of the lef earbud is for listening,
but the outside opens a world of possibilities.
Here you are able to tap and/or hold the lef earbud
to power ambient mode on/o, go to the previous
track, turn the volume down and more.
There are illustrations on the following page,
but the features are listed below, as well:
• 1x Taps: Tapping the lef side of the earbud
once quickly will turn ambient mode on or o.

thrice will cycle through the noise cancelling
modes – ANC On, Wind Reduction Mode,
and ANC O.
5. Right Earbud
The inside of the right earbud is for listening,
but the outside opens a world of possibilities.
Here you are able to tap and/or hold the right earbud
to play/pause, answer the phone, go to the next track,
end/ignore phone calls, turn the volume up and more.
There are illustrations on the following page,
but the features are listed below, as well:
• 1x Taps: Tapping the right side of the earbud
once quickly will result in the music pausing/
playing. This is also the way to answer phone calls.
• 2x Taps: Tapping the right side of the earbud twice
quickly will play the next track. This is also the way
to end (and ignore) phone calls.
• 3x Taps: Tapping the right side of the earbud thrice
quickly will result in the voice assistant making
an appearance. MP-20TWS earbuds are compatible
with both Siri and Google Assistant.
• Hold: Tapping (and holding) the right side
of the earbud down will raise the volume.
• 10 Second Hold: Tapping (and holding) the right
side of the earbud down for 0 seconds will
reset the right earbud.

Pairing and Connecting with Bluetooth
Voice prompts will indicate the power on /o status,
as well as the connecting / paired status.
Upon powering up the wireless earbuds,
the Bluetooth function is either:
() In sleep mode. See ‘Pairing and connecting
for the first time’ (below) or...
(2) ...Paired and connected. See ‘Previously paired
and connected devices’ (also below).
Pairing and connecting for the first time:
On the first power-up, a voice prompt will state,
“power on” followed by, “ready to pair”.
While the earbuds are in pairing mode,
simultaneously scan for Bluetooth devices on
the computer or device. You should see ‘MP-20TWS’
appear in the list of “available devices”. Select it by
tapping it. From there, your Bluetooth device should
indicate that it is successfully connected (“pairing
complete”).
If this does not work, start the pairing process again,
and make sure that the earbuds and computer / device
are both in pairing mode at the same time.
Previously paired and connected devices:
The Bluetooth connection will disconnect if it’s out
of range. Previously paired and connected devices will
automatically reconnect upon subsequent power-ups;
no need to re-pair devices each time! In this case,
a voice prompt will state, “power on” followed by,
“connected”.
If you would prefer to manually place the earbuds
into Bluetooth pairing mode while they’re in the case,
press and hold down the case button for 3 seconds.
The Bluetooth connection may disconnect
when aected by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) or electrical fast transients (EFT).
If this occurs, manually reconnect the Bluetooth
connection.
Mode, and ANC O. A “noise cancelling on”, “noise
cancelling o”, or “wind noise reduction” voice prompt
will confirm the choice.
The MP-20TWS earbuds also have ambient
mode. A quick single-tap on the lef earbud
will add/remove “ambient sound”. A voice
prompt will confirm the choice.
Care and Maintenance
Your wireless earbuds will provide many years
of reliable service if you follow these simple guidelines:
• Avoid exposing them to moisture. If they will
be used outdoors, be sure they are under cover
if rain is expected.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the earbuds. Avoid
getting moisture into any of the openings of the
earbuds, particularly where the drivers are located.
Now that we feel confident in your ability to take care
of the MP-20TWS earbuds and maintain them for years
to come, we are here to inform you that they have a
waterproof rating of IPX4! Oh, cool!
But, wait... what does that mean exactly? The IP Code
– aka ingress protection code – determines the amount
of protection a device has from water, dust and other
particles.
Safety first! Here is what is OK to do:
• IPX1: Protection from dripping water and sweat.
Exercising, for example.
• IPX2: Protection from vertically dripping water.
It’s not hot and sunny everywhere. It rains in some
places. You will be protected from a light drizzle.
• IPX3: Protection from sprayed water. Is your
wife watering the plants with a water bottle
when she “accidentally” sprays you seven
or eight times? This is A-ok, too!
MP-20TWS True Wireless Dual-Driver Earbuds with Active Noise Cancelling
Active Noise Cancelling (ANC)
Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) is ofen thought
of as “Active Noise Control.” It is a way to remove
(or “cancel”) any unwanted sound, by essentially
“creating” an inverted sine wave, throwing the signal
out-of-phase. This is all automatic and there is nothing
you need to do other than decide if you want ANC on
or not. Try it with, then without, to see which you prefer!
As mentioned previously, tapping the lef side
of the earbud thrice quickly will cycle through
the noise cancelling modes – ANC On, Wind Reduction
8
MP-20TWS True Wireless Dual-Driver Earbuds with Active Noise Cancelling
• IPX4: Protection from splashed water.
Perhaps you’re poolside catching rays while
sipping on umbrella drinks on an all-expenses
paid vacation. Of course the kids love swimming
and playing pool games. Typically this results
in you – not anyone else, of course, just you –
catching their splashed pool water. Here, you
and the MP-20TWS earbuds are safe, too!
Now that you know what is OK to do, here is what
NOT to do. Attempting any of the following will void
your warranty: holding them under a running faucet,
spraying a hose directly on them, taking a shower
with them, submerging them under water and anything
of the like.

Appendix A: Service Information
If you think your earbuds have a problem,
please check out the following troubleshooting
tips and do your best to confirm the problem.
Visit the Support section of our website
(www.mackie.com/support) where you will find
lots of useful information such as FAQs and other
documentation. You may find the answer to the
problem without having to part with your earbuds.
Troubleshooting
No power
• Is it charged? There is an amazing amount
of usage time, but they do need to be
recharged occasionally!
• Is it the year 22? If so, their better days
are behind them now.
No sound
• Is the level for the input source turned all
the way down or muted? How about the levels
on the earbuds? Verify that all the volume
controls in the system are properly adjusted.
• Is the signal source working? Try with speakers
first. If it’s good there, try with hardwired
headphones next. If it’s good there, it might
be that the Bluetooth hasn’t been connected
or something else.
Poor sound / Noise
• Is it loud and distorted? Make sure that you’re not
overdriving a stage in the signal chain. Verify that
all level controls are set properly.
The Macawhat?
• Don’t give up! Just like anything else, perfecting
the Macarena dance requires time, patience
and... practice!
