Operating the Earbuds
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
The EC10 earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, which analyzes surrounding noise and generates a "counter-noise" to cancel it, reducing ambient noise by up to 28 dB. They also offer Passive Noise Cancelling through ergonomically designed ear tips for a secure fit.

Transparency Mode
Activate Transparency Mode by touching the button on the left earbud for 1.5 seconds. This mode allows you to hear your surroundings without removing the earbuds, which is useful for interacting with people or being aware of traffic.

Clear Voice Calls
Each earbud is equipped with MEMS dual microphones. One microphone senses and cancels ambient noise, while the other picks up and isolates your voice, ensuring clear calls even in noisy environments.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean your earbuds and charging case to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For ear tips, remove them and clean with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.
Water Resistance (IPX5)
The EC10 earbuds are IPX5 waterproof, meaning they are resistant to sweat and light splashes of water. They are not designed for submersion in water. Ensure earbuds are dry before placing them back in the charging case.

Troubleshooting
- Earbuds not pairing/only one earbud working:
Ensure both earbuds are charged. Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open the lid again to re-initiate pairing. If issues persist, try resetting the earbuds (refer to the quick start guide for specific reset instructions).
- No sound:
Check the volume level on your connected device. Ensure the earbuds are properly paired and connected. Try disconnecting and re-pairing the earbuds.
- Charging issues:
Ensure the charging cable is securely connected and the power source is active. For wireless charging, ensure the case is correctly positioned on the charging pad. Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case.
- Poor sound quality:
Ensure the ear tips provide a good seal in your ear. Try different sized ear tips. Clean any debris from the earbud speakers. Move closer to your connected device to avoid interference.
