Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Regularly clean your earbuds and charging case to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surfaces. For the eartips, remove them from the earbuds and clean with a mild soap solution if necessary, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
2. Storage
When not in use, always store the earbuds in their charging case. This protects them from dust, damage, and keeps them charged. Store the charging case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
