How do I switch the EQ modes?
You can cycle through the three preset EQ modes (Music, Movie, and Podcast) using the tap controls directly on the earbuds.

Troubleshooting
Earbuds are not charging in the case
Ensure there is no debris on the charging pins and that the earbuds are properly seated in the magnetic cradle.
Only one earbud is producing sound
Reset the Bluetooth connection by 'forgetting' the device in your phone settings and re-pairing the earbuds.
Touch controls are not responding
Ensure your fingers are clean and dry, and perform a deliberate tap rather than a swipe on the touch surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Smokin’ Buds, remove them from the packaging and place them in the charging case to ensure they are fully charged. Once charged, open the case to trigger pairing mode and select the device in your phone's Bluetooth settings. For maintenance, wipe the silicone tips with a dry, lint-free cloth after workouts to remove sweat and oils. Avoid submerging the earbuds in water despite the IPX4 rating, as it is designed for splashes and sweat, not immersion. Store the buds in their case when not in use to maintain battery health and ensure they remain charged for your next outing.
