  • Place the earbuds into the charging case.
  • Connect the USB Type-C charging cable to the charging port on the case and to a power source.
  • The LED display will indicate charging status. A full charge is indicated when the display shows 100% for the case and the earbud indicators are full.

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HOCO EQ6 TWS Wireless Earbuds, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents.
  • Charging Contacts: Ensure the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the case are clean and free of dust or debris. Use a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol if necessary, then dry thoroughly.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them from dust and damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
  • Water Resistance: The earbuds are waterproof (specific IP rating not provided, but generally means splash-proof). Avoid submerging them in water or exposing them to heavy rain. Dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
  • Avoid Impact: Do not drop, hit, or subject the earbuds or charging case to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your HOCO EQ6 earbuds, try the following solutions:

  • Earbuds not pairing:
    • Ensure both earbuds are charged.
    • Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open the lid again to re-initiate pairing mode.
    • Turn off and on Bluetooth on your device.
    • Forget/delete 'HOCO EQ6' from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.
  • Only one earbud working:
    • Ensure both earbuds are charged.
    • Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, and then open it again. This often re-syncs them.
    • Clean the charging contacts on both earbuds and inside the case.
  • No sound or low volume:
    • Check the volume level on both your device and the earbuds.
    • Ensure the earbuds are properly connected to your device.
    • Try playing audio from a different application or source.
  • Charging issues:
    • Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source.
    • Try using a different USB Type-C cable and power adapter.
    • Clean the charging port on the case and the charging contacts on the earbuds.
  • Earbuds not turning off:
    • Ensure the earbuds are correctly seated in the charging case and the lid is closed.
    • Check if the charging case has battery power.

8. User Tips

  • Optimal Fit: For the best sound quality and comfort, ensure the earbuds are properly seated in your ears. A good seal helps with bass response and passive noise isolation.
  • Battery Management: Regularly check the LED power display on the charging case to monitor battery levels and recharge when necessary to avoid interruptions.
  • Firmware Updates: While not explicitly mentioned, some earbuds may benefit from firmware updates via a companion app. Check the manufacturer's website or app store for any available updates.
