Quick Tips
- Before placing earbuds in the charging case, dry them completely. Otherwise, the case may be damaged. The earbuds are sweat/water-resistant, but the case is not.
- You can connect and use each earbud independently. Simply remove an earbud from the charging case, and it will automatically connect.
- Selecting the correct ear tip will significantly improve sound quality by properly sealing the speaker. Try all ear tips for the best results.
Safety Warnings
- Do not expose earbuds to extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
- Be careful not to drop or apply pressure to the earbuds.
- Earwax may accumulate in the ear tips, which can reduce sound quality. To restore sound quality, carefully remove wax with a cotton swab or other small tool.
- If you begin to feel discomfort or pain, try lowering the volume or stop using the earbuds for a while.
- If you regularly experience discomfort while using this product, stop using it and consult your doctor.
- We recommend handling your earbuds with the same care as quality sunglasses and storing them in a safe place when not in use.
