6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your MIATONE Wireless Earbuds, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Earbuds not pairing:
Ensure both earbuds are fully charged. Place them back in the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open the lid again. Check your device's Bluetooth settings to ensure "MIATONE AUSTIN" is available and selected. If issues persist, try forgetting the device on your phone and re-pairing. - Only one earbud working:
Ensure both earbuds are charged. Place both earbuds back into the charging case and close the lid. Open the lid again to allow them to re-sync. If the problem continues, try resetting the earbuds (refer to manufacturer's website for specific reset instructions if not covered here). - Low volume or poor sound quality:
Check the volume level on both your device and the earbuds. Ensure the ear tips are clean and that you have selected the correct size for a snug fit to maximize sound and noise isolation. - Charging issues:
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the charging case and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter. Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the case with a dry cotton swab. - Earbuds not turning on/off:
Ensure the earbuds are charged. They should automatically power on when removed from the case and power off when placed back in the case and the lid is closed.
