5.1. Charging Procedure
To charge your Jaybird Tarah headphones, use the provided proprietary charging clip. Align the charging contacts on the clip with the contacts on the headphone's control pod. The LED indicator on the control pod will illuminate to show charging status and turn off when fully charged. Ensure the charging clip is securely attached.
Note: The charging cable is a short, proprietary design. Keep it in a safe place to avoid misplacement, as standard micro-USB or USB-C cables are not compatible.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Sweat & Waterproof Protection
The Jaybird Tarah headphones are IPX7 sweatproof and waterproof, making them suitable for gym and fitness workouts, as well as running in various weather conditions. This rating means they can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
After exposure to sweat or water, it is recommended to gently wipe the headphones dry with a soft cloth before charging or storing them to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
6.2. Cleaning Ear Gels
The silicone ear gels can be removed and cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them to the earbuds.
7. Troubleshooting

If you experience tinny or unsatisfactory sound quality, ensure you have downloaded and updated the Jaybird App. The app provides various EQ presets (e.g., "Warmth," "Bring the Bass," "Signature," "Flat") that can significantly enhance the audio experience. Experiment with different presets to find the one that best suits your listening preferences. An app update may also contain firmware improvements for sound.
7.2. Connectivity Issues
If the headphones are not connecting to your device:
- Ensure your headphones are charged and powered on.
