Cleaning and Care

The earbuds are IPX4 splashproof, meaning they are resistant to splashes of water from any direction. However, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

  • Only one earbud working: Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open the lid and try reconnecting.
  • Poor sound quality: Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in your ears to create a good seal. Check your device's volume and the earbud volume.
  • Charging issues: Verify the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Ensure the charging contacts on the earbuds and inside the case are clean.
