Earbuds will automatically power ON and reconnect to your device when taken out of the case.

Fitting

Cush FinTM and Ear Tip

Try all optional Cush Fins and ear tips for the best fit and proper seal. Align the Cush Fin by positioning its contour around the microphone hole for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

No Audio in Left Earbud or Earbuds Disconnected (Manual Reset)

1. Go to your device's Bluetooth settings and forget "JLab JBuds Air".
2. Open the charging case door and leave both earbuds inside. Starting with ONE earbud, quickly tap the button 4 times. The light will blink blue 4 times, then turn solid blue. Leave the earbuds in the charging case.
3. Repeat with the other earbud: quickly tap the button 4 times. The light will blink blue 4 times, then turn solid blue.
4. Remove both earbuds from the charging case and keep them within 2 inches (approx. 5 cm) of each other. Wait for the Left earbud to show a solid white light and the Right earbud to blink blue/white. You are now ready to pair to your Bluetooth device.

Bluetooth Device Does Not Connect / Reconnect

1. Go to your device's Bluetooth settings and forget "JLab JBuds Air".

4. Select "JLab JBuds Air" in your device settings to reconnect.

Echoes on Calls

If you experience microphone echo or call quality issues, ensure the Cush Fin is not blocking the microphone port.

Quick Tips

• The Bluetooth connection originates from the right earbud. For the most stable connection, keep your device near your right side or in your right pocket.
• If you prefer to wear only one earbud, it must be the right earbud, as it is the primary Bluetooth-connected earbud.
• Selecting the correct ear tip significantly improves audio quality by ensuring a proper seal for the driver. Try all ear tips for optimal results.
• Only one Bluetooth device can be connected simultaneously. Turn OFF Bluetooth on unwanted devices before turning ON Bluetooth on your chosen device to connect.

Warnings and Cautions

Warnings

• Fully dry the earbuds before placing them in the charging case to prevent case damage. The earbuds are sweat/water resistant, but the charging case is not.

Cautions

• Avoid extreme heat, cold, and humidity.
• Avoid dropping or crushing the earbuds.
• Earbud tips may accumulate wax, reducing sound quality. Carefully remove wax with a cotton swab or small tool to restore sound quality.
• If discomfort or pain occurs, lower the volume or temporarily discontinue use.
• If regular discomfort persists, discontinue use and consult a physician.
• Treat your earbuds with care, similar to sunglasses, and store them in a safe place when not in use.
