Troubleshooting
Earbuds won't pair with device.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Make sure the earbuds are charged and properly seated in the case.

No sound from one or both earbuds.
Check that the earbuds are charged. Ensure they are properly seated in the charging case to reset. Verify that the correct audio output is selected on your device. Clean the speaker grilles and eartips for any potential obstructions.
