The dongle often provides a more stable connection and better integration with PC operating systems.Reset the Connection: Unpair the headset from your device, turn it off, turn it back on, and re-pair it to refresh the hardware communication.Check Battery Level: Low battery can sometimes cause peripheral functions like buttons to behave inconsistently. Ensure the headset is fully charged (the indicator light will show charging status).If the button remains unresponsive after these steps, it may be a hardware defect.
