Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Soundcore P30i earbuds:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry cloth. Remove any earwax or debris from the ear tips and speaker grilles.
  • Water Resistance: The earbuds are IP54 splashproof and dustproof. This means they are protected from water splashes and dust, making them suitable for workouts and light rain. Do not submerge them in water.
  • Storage: Store the earbuds in their charging case when not in use to protect them and keep them charged.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Soundcore P30i earbuds, try the following steps:

  • No Sound: Ensure the earbuds are charged, connected to your device, and the volume is turned up on both the earbuds and your device.
  • Pairing Issues: Turn off Bluetooth on your device, then turn it back on. Remove "Soundcore P30i" from your device's Bluetooth list and attempt to pair again. Ensure the earbuds are in pairing mode (open the case).
  • One Earbud Not Working: Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open it again. This often re-syncs the earbuds.
  • Poor Call Quality: Ensure the microphones are not obstructed. Try disabling wind noise reduction if not in a windy environment.
  • Reset: If problems persist, consult the Soundcore app or the official Soundcore support website for specific reset instructions for your model.
