Do these headphones have a built-in microphone for calls?

Troubleshooting

Headphones won't turn on.

Ensure the headphones are fully charged. Connect them to a power source and allow them to charge for at least 30 minutes. If they are charged, try performing a soft reset by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.

Unable to pair with my device.

Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode (LED flashing rapidly). Turn Bluetooth off and then back on your device. If previously paired, 'forget' or 'unpair' the HA-S36W from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.

Sound cuts out or is intermittent.

Reduce the distance between the headphones and your audio source (smartphone, tablet). Ensure there are no major physical obstructions. Check for interference from other wireless devices (Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices). Ensure headphones are sufficiently charged.

Poor sound quality or low volume.

Adjust the volume on both your headphones and your connected device. Try switching between the different sound modes (Bass/Clear/Normal). Ensure the earcups are positioned correctly over your ears for an optimal seal.

Cannot hear anything during calls.

Check if the HA-S36W headphones are selected as the audio output device for calls on your smartphone's call interface or Bluetooth settings. Ensure the microphone is not muted on either the headphones or your device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Pairing

  1. Charge Fully: Before first use, fully charge your JVC HA-S36W headphones using the provided USB cable. The LED indicator will typically show a solid color (e.g., red) during charging and turn off or change color (e.g., blue) when fully charged.
  2. Power On: Press and hold the power button on the headphones for a few seconds until the LED indicator light turns on.
  3. Enter Pairing Mode: Continue holding the power button (or press a dedicated pairing button, if available, consult your manual) until the LED indicator begins to flash rapidly, usually alternating colors (e.g., blue and red), indicating they are in pairing mode.
  4. Activate Bluetooth on Device: On your smartphone, tablet, or computer, go to the Bluetooth settings and ensure Bluetooth is enabled.
  5. Select Headphones: Look for "HA-S36W" (or a similar name like "JVC HA-S36W") in the list of available devices and select it to pair. A voice prompt or LED change will confirm successful pairing. If prompted, enter "0000" as the passcode.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the earcups, headband, and control buttons with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For light grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture, strong detergents, or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no liquid enters the earcup openings.
  • Charging: Always use the original charging cable or a certified equivalent. Avoid overcharging by disconnecting once fully charged. Do not attempt to use the headphones while they are charging to prevent potential damage.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your headphones in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, dust, and extreme temperatures. The swivel function allows them to lay flatter for more compact storage, helping prevent damage.
  • Avoid Moisture: These headphones are not waterproof or water-resistant. Keep them away from water, rain, excessive humidity, and sweat to prevent internal damage.
