Troubleshooting

Earbuds won't connect via Bluetooth

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Reset the earbuds by placing them in the case, closing the lid for 5 seconds, then reopening. Try forgetting the earbuds in your device's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing.

Poor call quality

Ensure the microphones are not obstructed. Check that AI Noise Reduction is enabled in the app. Try moving to a quieter environment.
