? Quick Tips

Fully dry off the earbuds before putting in the charging case.
The left or right earbud can be used independently for music and phone calls. Simply choose one and take out of the case to connect.
Choosing the correct ear tip makes a significant improvement in audio quality due to the proper seal for the driver. Test all ear tips for best results.
Only ONE Bluetooth device can be connected at a time. Turn off Bluetooth on unwanted devices and turn on Bluetooth on chosen device to connect.

⚠️ Warning

Fully dry off the earbuds before placing in the charging case. If the earbuds are damp or wet, this will cause damage to the charging case. The warranty will be voided if the charging case shows damage by water/sweat.

⚠️ Cautions

Avoid extreme heat, cold, and humidity.
Avoid dropping or crushing the earbuds.
Wax may build up in the earbud tips, lowering the sound quality. Carefully remove the wax with a cotton swab or other small tool to improve the sound quality.
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.
We recommend you treat your earbuds as you would a nice pair of sunglasses and keep them in safe location when not in use.
