Fit and Comfort
Choose the correct ear tip size and Cush Fin adapter for an optimal fit. Insert the earbud vertically into your ear canal, then rotate it to lock it securely in place.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Music only plays from the right earbud, not the left?
If the right earbud works but the left does not, follow these steps to re-pair the earbuds:
- Turn off Bluetooth ? on your device. Turn off both earbuds by pressing and holding their buttons until you hear "Good bye" or the lights turn off.
- With the earbuds off, press and hold the right earbud button for 15 seconds. The earbud will flash blue and white. Release when the earbud flashes blue.
- Repeat the process for the left earbud: press and hold its button for 15 seconds. Release when the earbud shows a solid white light.
- Turn Bluetooth ? back on your device. Select 'JLab JBuds Air' to connect. The right earbud will flash blue and white, and the left earbud will show a solid white light.
Note: To avoid needing to disconnect and reconnect, ensure you return the earbuds to the correct position in the charging case. Refer to the "Charging the Earbuds" section.
In-Call Echo:
If you experience echo from the microphone with your JBuds Air, ensure the Cush Fin adapters are not blocking the microphone port.
Quick Tips & Care
Quick Tips:
- The Bluetooth ? connection originates from the right earbud. For the most stable connection, keep your device on your right side.
- During calls, only the right earbud will receive audio from your mobile phone. The left earbud will be silent and will resume audio after the call ends.
- If you prefer to use only one earbud, you must use the right earbud.
Care & Warnings:
- Dry the earbuds thoroughly before placing them in the charging case.
- The earbuds are water and sweat resistant ??, but the charging case is not.
- Avoid extreme heat, cold, and humidity.
- Avoid dropping or crushing the earbuds.
- Earwax buildup may occur on the ear tips, potentially reducing sound quality. Gently clean earwax with a dry cotton swab or small brush to improve sound quality.
- If you experience discomfort or blockage, try reducing the volume or temporarily discontinue use.
- If discomfort persists, stop using the product and consult a doctor.
- We recommend treating your earbuds with care, similar to expensive sunglasses, and storing them safely when not in use.
