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.

No sound or distorted audio

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.

Noise cancellation is not effective

Ensure ANC is enabled. Check the JBL Headphones App to verify ANC settings and consider recalibrating if the option is available. Make sure the earcups form a good seal around your ears.

Microphone not working during calls

Confirm that the microphone permissions are granted to the calling application in your device's settings. Ensure the headphones are selected as the audio input device. Test the microphone in a different app or during a test call.
