Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Nothing Ear earbuds, try the following solutions:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Earbuds not pairing | Ensure earbuds are charged. Place them in the case, open the lid, and try re-pairing. Turn Bluetooth off and on again on your device. Forget the device in your Bluetooth settings and re-pair. |
