Game/Music Mode
The headphones support a Game/Music mode. To switch between modes, refer to the touch control diagram in the Product Overview section. Typically, this involves a specific tap or press-and-hold gesture. If you experience latency in video playback, switching to Game Mode may reduce it. Please note that specific activation methods can vary; if the standard method (e.g., pressing for five seconds) does not work, consult the manufacturer's official support channels for the most accurate instructions for your specific firmware version.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GGSTOPWATER Open Ear Headphones.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the earbuds and charging case. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters any openings. Given the IPX5 rating, the earbuds are resistant to water splashes and sweat, but they are not designed for submersion.
- Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in their charging case to protect them from dust and damage. Keep the case and headphones in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Battery Care: To preserve battery health, avoid fully discharging the headphones or charging case frequently. Charge them regularly, even if not used for extended periods.
