BUGANi Model Codes Explained: M83, M118, M191-M196, A01 and B-Series Manuals

BUGANi files its manuals by internal model code rather than retail name. Here is every code the support site publishes - M83, M118, M191 to M196, A01, A02 and the B and BH series - mapped to the product guide each instruction page serves, with current specifications and prices.

If you are trying to match the code printed on a BUGANi product to the right user manual, the code is not the name the product is sold under. BUGANi files its manuals by internal model code - M83, M118, M191 through M196 and A01/A02 for speakers, B-codes for earbuds, BH-codes for headphones - and each of those codes has its own instruction page on bugani-global.com. This guide maps every code the support site publishes to the product guide it serves.

Every row below was checked against the live instruction page on 20 September 2026. Where a code has no published page, we say so rather than describing a manual that does not exist.

Which BUGANi model code maps to which product?

Short answer: the M-series and A-series codes are speaker codes, and most resolve to a current product name. M83, M118 and M191 open the BUGANi Boost Max guide; M192 opens Brief Pro, M193 opens Brief Plus, M194 opens Brief, M196 opens Reform, A01 opens Brief TT and A02 opens Brief Go.

Model code Instruction page Product guide it serves
M83 /pages/m83-instructions BUGANi Boost Max (240W)
M118 /pages/m118-instructions BUGANi Boost Max
M191 /pages/m191-instructions BUGANi Boost Max
M192 /pages/m192-instructions BUGANi Brief Pro (160W peak)
M193 /pages/m193-instructions BUGANi Brief Plus (100W)
M194 /pages/m194-instructions BUGANi Brief (28W peak)

A01 /pages/a01-instructions BUGANi Brief TT (60W, IP67)
A02 /pages/a02-instructions BUGANi Brief Go (45mm driver, IPX7)

The earbud and headphone codes follow the same pattern, with one exception:

Model code Instruction page Product guide it serves
B10 /pages/b10-instructions Free B10
B15 /pages/b15-instructions Free B15
B16 /pages/b16-instructions Free B16
B17 /pages/b17-instructions Fit B17
B18 /pages/b18-instructions Fit B18
B20 /pages/b20-instructions Freebuds B20
B21 /pages/b21-instructions Clip B21
BH01 /pages/bh01-instructions Space BH01
BH02 /pages/bh02-instructions AirCore OWH
D165 /pages/d165-instructions Published, but no product guide is attached

That is 19 code pages in total - nine speaker codes, nine earbud and headphone codes, and one that is currently empty. If your code is not on the list, BUGANi has not published a manual page for that unit.

Why your model number does not match the product name

BUGANi sells hardware under short marketing names - Brief, Brief Go, Boost Max, Reform, Free, Fit, Clip, Space - while the support site keys its manuals by model code. That mismatch is why a search for BUGANi M83 lands on a page that talks about the Boost Max.

  • M-series - speaker codes on the older instruction pages (M83, M118, M191-M196).
  • A-series - the two newer speaker codes (A01 for Brief TT, A02 for Brief Go).
  • B-series - earbuds, B10 through B21.
  • BH-series - headphones (BH01, BH02).

Splitting an internal code from the retail name is standard practice in consumer electronics - the code identifies a hardware revision and its manual set, the retail name is what packaging and storefronts show. Wikipedia describes the same split for model numbers and product codes. BUGANi does not publish a public legend explaining each letter, so the decoder above is built from the support site's own behaviour: the guide each code page actually serves.

If you searched for BUGANi M83, M118 or M191

All three codes currently open the same guide: the BUGANi Boost Max quick-start guide and user manual. That is the correct download to start with for an M83-generation unit.

The Boost Max is BUGANi's highest-output portable speaker: 240W stereo output, up to 16 hours at 50% volume, Bluetooth 5.3 with AUX, USB and TWS pairing, a USB-C port that doubles as a power bank, IPX5 water resistance and RGB lighting. It was listed at $249.00 and was out of stock at the time of writing.

One practical note: if the Boost Max button layout does not match your speaker, you are looking at a different revision than the page describes. Send the exact code printed on your unit's label through the contact form so support can confirm which guide applies.

If you searched for BUGANi M99, M115 or M90

Those codes are not part of BUGANi's published support index. There is no /pages/m99-instructions, /pages/m115-instructions or /pages/m90-instructions page, and the user manual download centre does not list them either. The 19 pages in the tables above are everything the brand currently publishes.

If a label or a marketplace listing shows one of those codes, no published manual page exists for it. What works instead is identifying the unit by design. For pairing and reset steps that are common across the range, our pairing walkthrough for every current model covers the sequences, and the pairing and reset troubleshooting guide covers what to do when a reset will not take.

The B-series decoder: which earbuds are which

B-codes split into four families: B10, B11, B15 and B16 are the Free open-ear line, B17 and B18 are the Fit line, B20 is Freebuds and B21 is Clip. Specs below come from the live listings; prices are the in-stock prices at the time of writing.

Code Family Design Published specs Price
B10 Free Open-ear, ABS ear hooks Bluetooth 5.4, IPX5, 6.5 h per charge, 26 h total, app AI translation $29.99
B11 Free Open-ear, ABS ear hooks Bluetooth 5.4, IPX5, 9-10 h per charge, up to 35 h total $25.99
B15 Free Open-ear, silicone hooks Bluetooth 5.4, IPX5, 14.2mm composite driver, 30 h total $29.99
B16 Free Open-ear, ear hooks Bluetooth 6.0, IPX6, ENC microphones, 30 h battery $39.99
B17 Fit Clip-on Bluetooth 6.0, IPX5, 12mm driver, 24 h total with the case $24.99
B18 Fit Open-ear, silicone ear hooks Bluetooth 5.4, 6.5 h per charge, 26 h total with the case $19.99
B20 Freebuds In-ear with ANC Bluetooth 6.0, 13mm drivers, IPX4, 5.5 h per charge plus three case charges $19.99
B21 Clip Clip-on with lanyard Bluetooth 6.0, IPX5, 32 h battery, MEMS mic with ENC $39.99 (out of stock)

One gap worth flagging: Free B11 is the only current earbud with no instruction page and no card in the manual download centre. Its product page is live, but if you need a downloadable B11 manual the download centre will not have it yet - use the contact form instead.

BH-codes: the two headphones

BH01 is Space and BH02 is AirCore OWH. Both are hybrid designs, but they solve different problems.

  • BH01 - Space BH01: hybrid headphone with active noise cancelling and a transparency mode, up to 120 hours of playtime, Bluetooth 6.0, currently $49.99.
  • BH02 - AirCore OWH: the brand's open-ear wireless hybrid, built around spatial audio and natural airflow with no in-ear pressure, currently $199.99.

If you are choosing between the two rather than identifying one you already own, the ANC-versus-open-ear trade-off matters more than the model code.

How to find your BUGANi model code in under a minute

  1. Read the label, not the box art. BUGANi model codes are short letter-number strings such as M83, B17 or BH01 - that is the code the support site is organised around.
  2. Try the URL pattern directly. Every instruction page follows bugani-global.com/pages/<code>-instructions in lowercase, for example bugani-global.com/pages/m83-instructions or bugani-global.com/pages/b17-instructions.
  3. Or start from the download centre. If you know the product name but not the code, the user manual download centre groups all listed models by Speakers, Earbuds and Headphones.
  4. Still stuck? Send the code from the label, a photo of the unit and where you bought it through the contact form. That is also the route for questions covered by the warranty policy.

Frequently asked questions

What does M83 mean on a BUGANi speaker?

M83 is a BUGANi support-site model code, and bugani-global.com/pages/m83-instructions currently serves the BUGANi Boost Max quick-start guide and user manual.

Are M83, M118 and M191 the same speaker?

All three instruction pages resolve to the same product guide, so the downloads are identical. The codes differ because they identify different revisions of that speaker.

Where can I download the BUGANi M99 manual?

There is no M99 manual page in the support index today. Match your unit by product name in the user manual download centre, or contact support with the code from the label.

How do I tell Free B15 and Fit B17 apart?

B15 is an open-ear model with silicone ear hooks, a 14.2mm composite driver and up to 30 hours total battery life; B17 is a clip-on with a 12mm driver and up to 24 hours total. If your earbuds clip onto the ear instead of hooking over it, you have a Fit.

Is a manual available for every current BUGANi model?

17 of the 18 active listings appear in the download centre. Free B11 is the exception at the time of writing, and the D165 instruction page is published with no product attached.

The bottom line

BUGANi model codes are a filing system, not a product line. M83, M118 and M191 map to the Boost Max guide; M192 to M196 map to Brief Pro, Brief Plus, Brief and Reform; A01 and A02 map to Brief TT and Brief Go; B-codes are earbuds and BH-codes are headphones. Anything outside those 19 published pages has no manual to download, and support is the correct next step.
