Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your QCY H3 PRO headphones, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

1. Headphones do not power on.

• Ensure the headphones are fully charged. Connect them to a power source and try again after a few minutes.

2. Cannot pair with a device.

• Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode (LED flashing blue and red).
• Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and it is within range (typically 10 meters).
• Forget "QCY H3 PRO" from your device's Bluetooth list and attempt to pair again.
• Restart both your headphones and your device.

3. No sound or low volume.

• Check the volume levels on both the headphones and your connected device.
• Ensure the headphones are properly connected via Bluetooth or the 3.5mm audio cable.
• If using wired mode, ensure the cable is fully inserted into both ports.

4. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is not effective.

• Ensure ANC mode is activated (not Transparency or Normal mode).
• Check that the earcups form a good seal around your ears. Adjust the headband for a snug fit.
• Some types of noise (e.g., human voices, sudden high-frequency sounds) are harder for ANC to cancel completely.

5. Intermittent connection or audio dropouts.

• Ensure there are no physical obstructions between the headphones and your device.
