Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iHome XT-45 earbuds, refer to the following common solutions:

• Only one earbud working:
  • Ensure both earbuds are charged.
  • Place both earbuds back in the charging case, close the lid, and then remove them simultaneously. This often re-syncs them.
