1. No Sound or Intermittent Audio:
   • Ensure the USB-C plug is fully inserted into your device's port.
   • Check your device's volume settings.
   • For first-time use or if issues persist, go to your device's audio settings (e.g., Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety > USB Audio Accessories on iPhone/iPad, or Settings > Connected to Headphones on Samsung) and ensure the headphones are recognized and connected.
   • Try connecting the headphones to a different compatible device to rule out a device-specific issue.
2. Microphone Not Working:
   • Ensure the microphone is not obstructed.
   • Check your device's privacy settings to ensure the application you are using has permission to access the microphone.
   • Verify that the headphones are selected as the input device in your device's sound settings.
3. Sound Quality Issues (e.g., tinny sound):
   • Ensure the ear tips are properly seated in your ears to create a good seal for optimal sound isolation and bass response. Try different sized ear tips if necessary.
   • Check for any debris in the earbud nozzles that might be affecting sound output.
4. Volume Too Low (iPhone/iPad):
   • Navigate to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety and ensure "Reduce Loud Sounds" is disabled or set to an appropriate level.
   • Check Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Headphone Accommodations and Mono Audio settings.
5. Android Developer Options (if applicable):
   • If experiencing persistent issues on Android, ensure "Disable USB audio routing" is turned off in Developer Options. To access Developer Options, go to Settings > About Phone and tap "Build number" 7 times.
