COMMON CONNECTIVITY ISSUES
This article highlights a phenomena and recommendation for music cutting out and earbuds that do not stay connected. When pairing a smart mobile device with the earbuds, the signal is strongest when there is a line-of-sight between the pairing devices. If the signal passes through the body, which is mostly made up of water fluid, it may get absorbed, which may result in pairing difficulty. If the mobile device is already connected to the earbuds, it may result in signal lost or the earbuds may get disconnected.
