VMK15: setup and Bluetooth pairing

Updated

Symptom

Your new VMK15 headphones need setting up or pairing with a new device, and you're not sure how.

Quick Fix

Hold the MFB button (left earcup) for 3 seconds to power on, then another 3 seconds to enter pairing mode. Select "Valco VMK15" from your phone's list, PIN 0000 if asked.

The VMK15 is a straightforward device, and pairing it is just three-second button holds, back to back. Here's the full setup from start to finish, plus a few things worth knowing upfront so you're not left scratching your head later.

First power-on and pairing

  1. Charge the headphones fully first (USB-C, standard 5V/2A charger, no fast chargers).
  2. Power on: hold the MFB button (the middle button on the left earcup) for about three seconds.
  3. Keep holding for another three seconds, the headphones will switch into pairing mode.
  4. Open your phone's Bluetooth settings and select "Valco VMK15".
  5. If it asks for a PIN, it's 0000.
  6. Done. From now on the headphones will connect automatically to whichever device you last used.

Adding a second device (multipoint)

The VMK15 supports two devices via sequential pairing:

  1. Turn off Bluetooth on the first device.
  2. Pair the headphones with the second device using the steps above.
  3. Turn Bluetooth back on on the first device.

The headphones are now connected to both, but they only play from one source at a time. If a paired device drops out of range, the headphones will keep beeping after it. Forget the device from its Bluetooth menu and the beeping stops.

Good to know from the start

  • All the buttons are on the left earcup. The left side of the headband has braille dots, so you can tell the sides apart in the dark.
  • ANC has its own dedicated button: a green light inside the earcup means ANC is on.
  • There is a factory reset: hold Vol+ and Vol− down together for about five seconds. If the connection gets confused, reset and pair again. More detailed instructions here.
  • With the AUX cable the headphones work in wired mode. The ANC button still works, but you adjust the volume from the source device.

If pairing doesn't work

  1. Make sure you held the MFB button long enough, six seconds total is longer than it feels.
  2. Remove any old "Valco VMK15" pairing from your phone and try again.
  3. Charge the headphones for 30 minutes and try once more.
  4. Try a different phone, that'll tell you which end the problem is on.
