The Tronsmart Apollo Bold earbuds feature intuitive touch controls on each earbud. The specific functions may vary slightly depending on your device and application.

4.3 Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Ambient Mode

The Apollo Bold earbuds feature 360° Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation to reduce ambient noise, and an Ambient Sound Mode to allow you to hear your surroundings without removing the earbuds.

• ANC On: Reduces external noise for an immersive listening experience.

5. Advanced Features

5.1 Qualcomm QCC5124 Flagship Chip

The Tronsmart Apollo Bold is equipped with the Qualcomm QCC5124 flagship chip, which provides a superior user experience and sound quality. This chip enables faster transmission, lower latency, less power consumption, and overall better sound performance.

5.2 360° Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling

The hybrid ANC technology, combined with 6 microphones, effectively cancels noise from all directions. It utilizes two patented noise cancelling technologies:

• Feedforward ANC: Microphones reduce noise in a broader range of frequencies.
• Feedback ANC: Microphones reduce noise in a narrow range of frequencies.

5.3 Customized Graphene Driver and Audio Codecs

The customized graphene driver works with Qualcomm aptX™ decoding for superb sound quality. It supports various audio codecs:

• Qualcomm aptX™: For studio quality audio (lossless for compatible devices).
• AAC: Balanced and detailed sound for iOS devices.
• SBC: Well-balanced and rich sound for Android devices.

5.4 TrueWireless™ Stereo Plus

The advanced TrueWireless™ Stereo Plus synchronous signal transmission technology ensures more desirable sound without any delay. Unlike traditional True Wireless Stereo where one earbud acts as a master and the other as a slave, TWS+ allows both earbuds to connect directly to the device, resulting in a more stable connection and lower latency.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your earbuds.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Ear Tips: Remove and clean the ear tips periodically with water and mild soap. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Water Resistance: The earbuds are IPX45 water-resistant, meaning they are protected against splashing water from any direction. Do not submerge them in water or expose them to heavy rain. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging.
• Storage: Store the earbuds in their charging case when not in use to protect them and keep them charged. Avoid extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Tronsmart Apollo Bold earbuds, try the following solutions:

• Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are fully charged. Place them back in the case, close the lid, then open it again to re-enter pairing mode. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and no other devices are connected to the earbuds.
• No sound from one earbud: Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, and then take them out again. This often re-syncs them. Check if the earbud is charged.
• Poor sound quality: Ensure the ear tips provide a good seal in your ear. Clean any debris from the earbud nozzles. Try adjusting the volume on both the earbuds and your connected device.
• ANC not working effectively: Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in your ears to create a good seal. Check that ANC mode is activated.
• Charging issues: Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter. Clean the charging contacts on the earbuds and inside the case.
• Earbuds not responding to touch controls: Ensure your fingers are clean and dry. Try resetting the earbuds by placing them in the case and then taking them out.
