The earbuds feature a dual-channel delay technology combined with Bluetooth 5.3 to achieve a low latency of approximately 0.06 seconds, ideal for gaming. To activate or deactivate gaming mode, refer to the quick start guide or experiment with a specific touch gesture (e.g., long press on one earbud, or a specific tap sequence) if not explicitly stated.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
- Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
- Use a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case.
- Remove any earwax or debris from the ear tips and speaker mesh using a small brush or dry cotton swab.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the charging case in water.
6.2 Waterproofing (IPX6)
The Awei T87 earbuds are rated IPX6 waterproof, meaning they are protected against powerful water jets. This makes them suitable for sports and outdoor activities where they might be exposed to sweat or rain. However, the charging case is NOT waterproof. Do not expose the charging case to water or moisture.
- Do not submerge the earbuds in water.
- Ensure earbuds are completely dry before placing them back into the charging case to prevent damage to the case.
7. Troubleshooting
- Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are out of the case and have sufficient charge. Turn off and on your device's Bluetooth. If issues persist, try resetting the earbuds (refer to the quick start guide for specific reset instructions, usually involves holding touch areas for an extended time or a button on the case).
- Only one earbud working: Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then take them out again. This often re-syncs them. Check battery levels for both earbuds.
- Low volume or poor sound quality: Ensure earbuds are properly seated in your ears. Clean the ear tips and speaker mesh. Check your device's volume settings.
- Charging issues: Ensure the charging cable is securely connected and the power source is working. Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case.
- Intermittent connection: Ensure you are within the 10m maximum transmission distance from your device. Avoid environments with strong electromagnetic interference.
8. User Tips
- Battery Life Clarification: While the specifications list a 200-hour standby time, the actual music play time for a single earbud is approximately 5.5 hours. With the charging case, you can expect around 30 hours of total music play time before needing to recharge the case itself.
- Optimal Fit: Experiment with the included replaceable ear tips to find the best fit for your ears. A good seal improves sound quality and bass response.
- Gaming Performance: For the best low-latency gaming experience, ensure your device's Bluetooth is stable and there are no major obstructions between your device and the earbuds.
- Touch Control Sensitivity: If touch controls are unresponsive, ensure your fingers are clean and dry. Sometimes a firm, deliberate tap works better than a light touch.
