Troubleshooting

• Poor Sound Quality or Call Performance: Ensure the earbud tips fit snugly in your ear canals. Try changing to a different size (S, M, L provided) for a better seal.
• One Earbud Not Working/Low Battery: If one earbud experiences sound issues or significantly lower battery despite being in the case, try resetting the earbuds. Place both earbuds in the charging case, close the lid, then open it and press and hold the setup button on the case for a few seconds until the indicator light flashes. Re-pair with your device.
• Connectivity Issues: If an earbud refuses to connect, try deleting the device from your phone's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing. Ensure the earbuds and charging case are sufficiently charged.
