Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your earbuds, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the earbuds to water or excessive moisture. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly before use.
  • Handle with Care: Avoid pulling on the cable to disconnect the earbuds. Always grasp the USB-C connector firmly.
