Echoes on Calls
If you experience microphone echo or poor call quality with the JBuds Air ANC, make sure the Cush Fin is not blocking the microphone port.

- Either earbud can connect to your device and be used independently. Simply take out an earbud from the charging case, and it will auto-connect.
- Choosing the correct ear tip makes a significant improvement in audio quality due to a proper seal for the driver. Try all ear tips for best results.

- If you experience discomfort or pain, try lowering the volume or discontinuing use temporarily.
- If you experience regular discomfort while using this product, discontinue use and consult your physician.
- Treat your earbuds with care, similar to how you would treat sunglasses, and keep them in a safe location when not in use.
