9 Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I am unable to pair my BoomBoom 55. Please check the following:

1.  Please ensure that the BoomBoom 55 is powered and press the pairing button twice.
2. Ensure that your headphones are in pairing mode (refer to your headphones’ user manual).
3. Ensure that the distance between your headphones and the BoomBoom 55 is not too large and there are no major obstacles between them.
4.  To ensure the widest possible range, make sure your BoomBoom 55 is within line of sight and the internal antenna is not positioned near large metal objects.

My BoomBoom 55 is paired, but I don’t hear anything.

I am unable to automatically connect to my headphones.

If you no longer automatically establish a connection with your headphones, press the pairing button twice (the BoomBoom 55
then goes into pairing mode) and put the headset in pairing mode.

I can’t pair a second Bluetooth device.

In order to use this feature, both Bluetooth devices should have Bluetooth version 3.0 or later.

Can I only use the BoomBoom 55 with headphones?

No, you can use the BoomBoom 55 with any Bluetooth device with audio playback capability. Including, for example, a Bluetooth speaker or a Marmitek BoomBoom 93 Bluetooth music receiver. If attached to your audio system, you can choose whether you want to hear the sound using the audio system and/or your headphones, or through the TV’s speakers.

Whenever I watch TV, audio is out of sync with video.

The wireless transmission of audio over Bluetooth may indeed result in some delay (latency). In most cases, this latency is not disturbing. If you use a media box to watch TV, connect the BoomBoom 55 to the audio output of your media box. This results in reduced latency. The BoomBoom 55 also supports aptX Low Latency technology. Your Bluetooth headphones also need to have this technology to be able to use this. With an aptX Low Latency connection, the LED turns green. The sound is distorted by a hum or interference If you do not use an adapter to power the BoomBoom 55, but, for example, connect it to your audio system’s USB connector, the resulting ground loop may sometimes cause a hum. In this case, use the USB power adapter. Using a USB port on, for example, a PC may also cause interference.

Can I pair a Bluetooth device with aptX Low Latency and a **second

device without aptX Low Latency?**

Yes, you can. If two devices are paired, aptX Low Latency cannot be used.
