Troubleshooting

Connectivity Issues:

• Earbuds Won’t Pair: Ensure that the earbuds are in pairing mode (usually indicated by blinking LED lights). Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on how to initiate pairing mode.
• Bluetooth Connection Drops: Check if the earbuds are within the Bluetooth range (typically around 30 feet or 10 meters) of your paired device. Move closer to the device to improve the connection.
• Device Compatibility: Confirm that your device is compatible with the earbuds and supports Bluetooth connectivity. Ensure that your device’s Bluetooth is turned on.

Audio Problems:

• Low Volume: Make sure the volume on both your paired device and the earbuds is turned up to an audible level.
• Audio Cutting In and Out: Check for interference from other electronic devices, as this can disrupt the Bluetooth signal. Move away from potential sources of interference.
• No Sound: Verify that the audio source (e.g., music app) on your device is playing, and the audio output is directed to the earbuds.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Issues:

• ANC Not Working: Ensure that ANC is activated on the earbuds (if applicable). Some models have a dedicated ANC button or a control in the companion app.
• Weak ANC: ANC effectiveness can vary based on the quality of the seal created by the ear tips. Try different-sized ear tips to find the best fit, which will improve ANC performance.
• ANC Artifacts: Sometimes, ANC can produce faint artifacts or strange sounds. These are typically not a cause for concern but can be reduced by using the earbuds in less noisy environments.

Battery Issues:

• Short Battery Life: Check if you are using ANC or high volume settings, as these can reduce battery life. Lowering the volume or disabling ANC can extend battery life.
• Charging Problems: Ensure that the earbuds are properly seated in the charging case and that the case is charged. Clean the charging contacts if they appear dirty or dusty.

Audio Quality Issues:

• Distorted Sound: If the audio sounds distorted, try resetting the earbuds or updating their firmware if applicable.
• Imbalanced Sound: If one earbud is louder than the other, check for obstructions or debris in the ear tip or speaker grille. Clean or replace the ear tips if necessary.

Factory Reset:

• If none of the above troubleshooting steps work, you may need to perform a factory reset on the earbuds. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to do this.
