3. Bluetooth Pairing

  1. Ensure your headphones are charged.
  2. Power on the headphones. They should automatically enter pairing mode (indicated by a flashing LED light, typically blue).

  4. Select "JLab Flex Sport" from the list of available devices.
  5. Once connected, the LED indicator on the headphones will typically turn solid blue or off, depending on the model.

For optimal sound quality, some users recommend a "burn-in" period. Connect the headphones to a PC/laptop via Bluetooth, set the volume to low to medium, and let them play for 30 minutes to 1 hour without wearing them. A total of 30-40 hours of break-in time is suggested for best results.
