Troubleshooting
Headphones won't turn on
Ensure the headphones are charged. Connect the USB-C cable and check the charging indicator. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter.
Bluetooth connection issues
Turn off Bluetooth on your device and then turn it back on. Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode. Forget the device in your Bluetooth settings and re-pair. Ensure no other devices are actively connected.
Active Noise Cancelling not effective
Ensure the ANC is activated. Check that the earcups create a good seal around your ears. Clean any debris from the microphone ports.
Audio sounds distorted or low
Check the volume levels on both the headphones and your connected device. Ensure Personal Sound by Mimi is configured correctly, or try disabling it to test. Clean the audio drivers if accessible.
Rapid charge not working
