Charging Earbuds and Case

Charging Earbuds

The left and right earbuds need to match the corresponding L and R letters on the charging case for proper charging and connection. Placing the earbuds in the case will auto power off the earbuds and start charging.

Solid blue lights on the earbuds indicate charging and will turn off after earbuds are fully charged. The case will show blinking blue lights while charging.

[Diagram: Close-up of earbuds being placed into a charging case, showing correct L/R alignment and indicator lights.]

Charging Case

Connect the JBuds Air to a computer or USB 5V output device. LEDs pulse white when charging and turn solid white when fully charged.

Removing the earbuds from the case will turn them on and auto-connect to your device for next use.

Fitting

Try the optional Cush Fins and all ear tips for best fit and proper seal.

[Diagram: Illustrating the fitting process. Step 1: Hold the earbud vertical to the ear. Step 2: Twist in the ear canal to lock in.]

Components: CUSH FIN, EAR TIP

Troubleshooting

No Music from Left Earbud: Connect/Reconnect Left and Right Earbuds

If the right earbud is working but no sound is coming out of the left, follow these steps to pair the two earbuds together:

  1. Turn Bluetooth off on your device. Turn both earbuds off (by pressing and holding each earbud button until the voice prompt says 'good bye' or you see no lights).

    [Diagram: Smartphone screen showing Bluetooth turned off.]

  2. When earbuds are off, press and hold the RIGHT earbud button for 15+ seconds. While holding, the earbud will flash blue and white. Release when the earbud flashes white.

  3. Repeat the process with the LEFT earbud: Press and hold the earbud button for 15+ seconds. Release when the earbud is solid white. Once the earbuds connect, the right earbud will flash blue and white, indicating it is ready to connect to Bluetooth. The left earbud will be solid white.

  4. Turn your device Bluetooth back on. Select "JLab JBuds Air" to connect.

    [Diagram: Smartphone screen showing Bluetooth turned on and "JLab JBuds Air" selected for connection.]

Note: To avoid having to reconnect the earbuds again, make sure you return the earbuds to the correct spot in the case. See Charging Earbuds.

Echoes on Calls

If you experience microphone echo or poor call quality with the JBuds Air, make sure the Cush Fin is not blocking the microphone port.

[Diagram: Two earbuds shown side-by-side. One is marked with a red 'X' and shows the microphone port covered by a Cush Fin. The other is marked with a green checkmark and shows the microphone port open.]

Quick Tips

  • The Bluetooth connection is established from the right earbud. For most stable connection, keep the device near your right hand side or in your right pocket.
  • When receiving/taking calls, only the right earbud will accept and play from your mobile device. The left earbud will mute during calls and continue playback after call ends.
  • If you prefer to wear only one earbud, you must wear the right earbud.

Warning

Fully dry off the earbuds before putting them in the charging case to avoid any damage to the case. The earbuds are sweat/water resistant, but the case is not.

Warm-up Your Headphones

Optional: Burn-in is the process for exercising new audio equipment. We recommend 40 hours of burn-in time for most headphones to reach optimal performance. The main purpose of the process is to loosen the diaphragm of a newly crafted headphone and to stress the headphone driver. Normal, everyday use can also burn-in the headphones, though JLab's proprietary burn-in provides an ideal mix of sounds and frequency sweeps to achieve this.

Burn-in your audio equipment with the JLab Audio app, available on the App Store and Google Play. Or access the burn-in method at: jlabaudio.com/burnin.

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 a safe location when not in use.
