Charging the Earbuds
Charging Earbuds
1. Place the earbuds into the charging case, aligning them with the L (left) and R (right) indicators for correct charging. The earbuds will automatically turn off and begin charging. Blue indicator lights show the earbuds are charging and will turn off when fully charged.
Charging Case
Connect the JBuds Air case to a computer or device with a USB output of 5V 1A (or lower). The LED indicators will blink white during charging and turn solid white when fully charged.
Automatic Reconnection:
When removed from the case, the earbuds will automatically power on and reconnect to your device.
Fit and Comfort
Try the optional Cush Fins™ and all ear tips to find the most secure and comfortable fit. The Cush Fin should be aligned by positioning its contour around the microphone hole.
Troubleshooting
No Sound in One Earbud (Manual Reset)
- Go to your device's Bluetooth settings and "forget" the JLab JBuds Air.
- Open the charging case lid and leave both earbuds inside. For one earbud, quickly tap the button 7 times. The indicator light will flash blue 4 times. Leave the earbuds in the charging case.
- Repeat the process for the other earbud. Quickly tap the button 7 times. The indicator light will flash blue 4 times.
- Remove both earbuds from the charging case. Wait for one indicator light to turn solid white and the other to flash blue/white. You can now connect to your Bluetooth device.
Bluetooth Device Not Connecting / Reconnecting
- Go to your device's Bluetooth settings and "forget" the JLab JBuds Air.
- On your device, turn Bluetooth off, then turn it back on.
- Open the charging case and wait for one earbud's indicator light to turn solid white and the other to flash blue/white.
- To re-pair, select "JLab JBuds Air" in your device's settings.
Echo During Calls
If you experience microphone echo or poor call quality with the JBuds Air, check that the Cush Fin is not blocking the microphone port. Ensure the microphone port is clear.
Practical Advice and Warnings
Practical Tips
- Completely dry the earbuds before placing them in the charging case to prevent damage to the case. The earbuds are sweat and water-resistant, but the case is not.
- Both earbuds can connect to your device and be used independently. Simply remove an earbud from the charging case, and it will connect automatically.
- Choosing the correct ear tip significantly improves audio quality through optimal speaker isolation. Try all ear tips to find the best fit.
Warnings
- Avoid exposing the product to extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
- Avoid dropping the earbuds or stepping on them.
- Earwax can accumulate in the ear tips, degrading audio quality. Carefully clean earwax with a cotton swab or small object to maintain audio quality.
- If you experience discomfort or pain, try lowering the volume or temporarily stop using the device.
- If you experience recurring discomfort while using this product, discontinue use and consult a physician.
- We recommend caring for your earbuds as you would a pair of sunglasses and storing them in a secure place when not in use.
