Setup
1. Choosing the Right Ear Tips:
The headphones come with three sizes of silicone ear tips (small, medium, large). Selecting the correct size is crucial for comfort, sound quality, and noise isolation.
- Gently remove the pre-installed ear tips.
- Try each size to determine which provides the most comfortable and secure fit in your ear canal. A good seal will improve bass response and block out external noise.
- Once selected, firmly attach the new ear tips to the headphone nozzles.
2. Connecting to Your Device:
The iHip IP-IV-NPR headphones use a standard 3.5mm audio jack for connection.
- Locate the 3.5mm headphone jack on your smartphone, tablet, or audio player.
- Insert the headphone's 3.5mm plug firmly into the device's audio jack until it clicks into place.
- Ensure the connection is secure to prevent audio interruptions.
Operating Instructions

Once connected, you can control audio playback directly from your device. The in-line microphone unit may also feature a single button for basic controls.
- Play/Pause: Press the button on the in-line microphone once to play or pause audio.
- Next Track: Press the button twice quickly to skip to the next track.
- Previous Track: Press the button three times quickly to go back to the previous track.
Using the In-Line Microphone:
The integrated microphone allows for hands-free calling when connected to a compatible smartphone.
- Answer/End Call: Press the button on the in-line microphone once to answer an incoming call or end an active call.
- Reject Call: Press and hold the button for approximately two seconds to reject an incoming call.
- Activate Voice Assistant: Press and hold the button for approximately two seconds (when not on a call) to activate your device's voice assistant (e.g., Siri, Google Assistant).
Note: Volume control is typically managed directly from your connected device.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Regularly clean the ear tips with a soft, damp cloth. You may remove the ear tips for a more thorough cleaning with mild soap and water, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
- Wipe the headphone body and cord with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Ensure no moisture enters the headphone drivers or the 3.5mm jack.
Storage:
- Store your headphones in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Avoid tightly wrapping the cord to prevent damage to the internal wiring.
- Keep headphones away from sharp objects that could cut or fray the fiber cord.
