Quick Tips
- Ensure earbuds are completely dry before placing them in the charging case.
- You can use either the left or right earbud individually for music and phone calls. Simply take one out of the case to connect.
- Selecting the proper ear tips ? will significantly improve sound quality due to better driver isolation. Try all ear tips for best results.
- Only one Bluetooth device can be connected at a time. Turn off Bluetooth on unwanted devices and turn on Bluetooth on the desired device to connect to that device.
Care and Warnings
⚠️ Warning: Ensure earbuds are completely dry before inserting them into the charging case. If earbuds are damp or wet, they will cause damage to the charging case. Warranty will be void if the charging case shows signs of water/sweat damage.

Please Note
- Avoid extreme heat, cold, and moisture.
- Avoid dropping or crushing the earbuds.
- Earwax buildup may occur on the earbud tips, reducing sound quality. Gently clean earwax with a dry cotton swab or other soft tool to improve sound quality.
- If you experience discomfort or pain, try lowering the volume or discontinuing use of the earbuds temporarily.
- If you experience persistent discomfort during use, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
- We recommend treating your earbuds as you would expensive sunglasses and keeping them in a safe place when not in use.
