  • Avoid exposing the earbuds and case to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) and high humidity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your FlinQ ANC TWS Wireless Earbuds, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • Earbuds not pairing:
    • Ensure the earbuds are sufficiently charged.
    • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and within range.
    • Try placing the earbuds back into the case, closing the lid, waiting a few seconds, and then opening it again to re-enter pairing mode.
    • Delete any previous pairing records of the earbuds from your device's Bluetooth settings and attempt to pair again.
  • No sound or low volume:
    • Check the volume levels on both the earbuds (via touch controls) and your connected device.
    • Ensure the earbuds are properly connected to your device. Disconnect and reconnect if necessary.
    • Try playing different audio sources to rule out an issue with the media file.
  • ANC not working effectively:
