Troubleshooting

Bluetooth connection issues

Turn off Bluetooth on your device and the headphones, then turn them back on and re-pair. Ensure the headphones are within range and not connected to another device.

Poor microphone quality during calls

Check if the microphone ports are clear of debris. Ensure you are speaking clearly and the microphones are not obstructed.
