- Vocal Mode: Enhances the clarity of voices amidst ambient noise.
LDAC Audio Codec
For high-fidelity audio, enable the LDAC codec.
- Requires devices running Android 8.0 or later.
- LDAC provides higher quality audio but increases power consumption and may reduce playback time.
- Ensure a stable Bluetooth connection by using LDAC in environments with low interference.
To enable LDAC:
- Go to Settings in the Soundcore app.
- Tap "Sound Mode."
- Select "Preferred audio quality" to switch to the LDAC codec.
- You will be notified if LDAC is not supported when connected to two devices. Select "Turn On" to proceed.
- Switching audio codecs takes approximately 10 seconds. A firmware update may be required.
Note: When LDAC is enabled, the earbuds may not be able to connect to other devices simultaneously. Enabling LDAC increases power consumption and may occasionally lead to connection instability.
Powering Off
Place the earbuds back into the charging case and close the lid. The earbuds will automatically power off after 30 minutes if they are not connected to a device. This auto-off duration can be adjusted in the Soundcore app.
Resetting Your Earbuds
Reset your earbuds if you encounter issues with pairing to each other or to other devices. First, clear the pairing history from your Bluetooth device.
Place both earbuds in the charging case and keep the lid open. Press and hold the button on the charging case for 10 seconds until the LED indicator on the case flashes white three times, then flashes sequentially.
