Troubleshooting
Headset not turning on
Ensure the headset is fully charged. Connect the USB-C cable and check if the charging indicator lights up. Try a different USB port or charger if necessary.
Bluetooth connection issues
Turn off Bluetooth on your device and the headset, then turn them back on. Ensure the headset is within range (10m) and not connected to too many devices simultaneously. Try 'forgetting' the device in your device's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing.
No sound or distorted audio
Check that the volume is turned up on both the headset and your connected device. If using wired mode, ensure the 3.5mm cable is securely plugged in. Try testing with a different audio source or cable.
ANC not working effectively
Ensure the ANC function is activated on the headset. Check that the earcups are forming a good seal around your ears, as gaps can reduce ANC effectiveness. ANC works best on consistent low-frequency noises like engine hum.
Microphone not working for calls
Verify that the headset is selected as the default audio input device on your phone or computer. Ensure the microphone is not muted via headset controls or software settings.
