Maintenance
Cleaning
- Regularly clean your earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive materials, solvents, or aerosol sprays.
- Remove ear tips and clean them separately with mild soap and water if necessary, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
Water Resistance
The earbuds are rated IPX5 waterproof, meaning they are protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes them suitable for workouts and light rain. However, they are not designed for swimming or submersion in water. Do not expose the charging case to water.
