Troubleshooting
Headphones won't turn on
Ensure the headphones are charged. Connect them to a power source using the USB Type-C cable for at least 5 minutes for a speed charge. Check if the power button is being pressed correctly.

Check the volume level on both the headphones and your connected device. Ensure the headphones are properly paired via Bluetooth or securely connected via the 3.5mm cable. Try disconnecting and re-pairing the Bluetooth connection or reseating the audio cable.
Bluetooth connection is unstable or drops frequently
Make sure your device is within Bluetooth range (typically 10 meters). Minimize interference from other wireless devices or physical obstructions. Try restarting both the headphones and your connected device, then re-pair them.
