Operating Instructions
1. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
The earbuds feature active noise cancellation up to 30dB, effectively reducing ambient noise for an immersive listening experience. The highly sensitive microphone detects external noise, and the earbuds generate inverse sound waves to counteract it.
- To activate/deactivate ANC, refer to the touch control gestures in the accompanying app or your device's Bluetooth settings.

For an enhanced gaming experience, you can switch to low-latency gaming mode to reduce audio-to-video delay. This ensures synchronized sound and visuals, keeping you immersed in the game.
- Activate this mode via the touch controls or the dedicated app (if available).
3. Call Quality with Dual Microphones
The earbuds feature a dual-microphone Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) system for clear voice pickup during calls. This technology helps reduce background noise, ensuring your voice is heard clearly.
