Troubleshooting

No sound or low volume from one or both earpieces

Ensure the cable is fully and securely connected to both the earpiece and the audio source. Try a different audio source or device. Check that the eartip is creating a proper seal in the ear canal. Clean the earpiece nozzle and eartip for any obstructions.

Sound distortion or crackling

Verify that the audio source volume is not set too high. Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the cable is properly connected. Try cleaning the 3.5 mm connector on the cable and the port on your audio device.

Uncomfortable fit or poor seal

Experiment with all four sizes of silicone eartips (XS, S, M, L) to find the best fit. Ensure the eartip is inserted correctly into the ear canal.

Cable connection issues

Gently detach and reattach the A2DC connectors on both sides of the cable. If the issue persists, the cable may need to be replaced.
