About Bluetooth Audio

“Bluetooth device ready to pair” is a notification users hear when they connect their smartphones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Another common message is “Bluetooth device connected successfully.” These phrases became famous on social media, especially in meme culture, and variations such as “ze Bluetooth device is ready to explode” or “cebruthius” gained popularity in Brazil. Audio clips have been widely used in remix videos, comedy skits, and other formats shared on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok.

Origin of Sound

The exact source of the buzzer is unclear, but the first known mention of it on the internet was shared by a user named u/xzzz on Reddit on May 31, 2016. In their post titled “My knockoff Bose Bluetooth speaker has a Chinese accent,” they posted a video of their device saying, “Bluetooth device ready to pair.” This post quickly gained popularity, garnering more than 20,000 upvotes and 1,300 comments in just seven years.

Another Reddit user, u/Ackanir, suggested that the audio recordings likely came from a Chinese company called Jieli, known for its electronic chip manufacturing. This theory is supported by various videos showing devices with the same Bluetooth audio.
