Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your headphones.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the surfaces of the headphones. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these may damage the finish or internal components.
- Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or extreme cold. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of them.
- Water Resistance: The headphones are IPX4 splash-resistant, meaning they are protected against splashing water from any direction. They are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water. If they get wet, wipe them dry immediately.
- Battery Care: To maximize battery lifespan, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the headphones regularly, even if not used for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your ArtSound BRAINWAVE07BL headphones, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Headphones won't turn on | Low or depleted battery. | Charge the headphones fully using the provided USB-C cable. |
| Cannot pair via Bluetooth | Headphones not in pairing mode; Bluetooth off on device; Interference. | Ensure headphones are in pairing mode (flashing blue/red). Turn Bluetooth on your device. Move closer to the device and away from other wireless devices. Try restarting both devices. |
| No sound or low volume | Volume too low; Not connected properly; Incorrect audio output selected on device. | Increase volume on both the headphones and your connected device. Verify the Bluetooth connection or ensure the wired cable is fully inserted. Check your device's audio output settings. |
| Poor sound quality (distorted, crackling) | Weak Bluetooth signal; Interference; Damaged audio cable. | Move closer to your Bluetooth device. Avoid environments with strong Wi-Fi or other wireless signals. If using wired, try a different cable or check the port for debris. |
| Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) not effective | Improper fit; Type of noise. | Adjust the headphones for a snug fit over your ears to create a good seal. ANC is most effective against consistent, low-frequency sounds (e.g., engine hum) and less so for sudden, high-pitched noises or voices. |
