Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Earbuds not pairing | Ensure earbuds are charged. Turn off and on Bluetooth on your device. Forget "HOCO EQ5" from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again. |
| Only one earbud working | Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open it again. This often re-syncs them. Check battery levels for both earbuds. |
| Low volume or poor sound quality | Clean earbud mesh to remove any debris. Adjust volume on both your device and the earbuds. Ensure earbuds are properly seated in your ears. |
| Charging issues | Check the Type-C cable and charging adapter. Ensure charging contacts on earbuds and case are clean and free of obstruction. Try a different charging port or adapter. |
