Troubleshooting

Headphones will not power on

Ensure the headphones are adequately charged. Connect them to a compatible charger and allow them to charge for at least 5 minutes before attempting to power them on again. Check the charging cable and power source.

Cannot connect to Bluetooth device

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that the headphones are in pairing mode (usually by holding the power button until the indicator light flashes). Try resetting the headphones by turning them off and on again. If connected to another device, disconnect from that device first or use the multipoint feature to switch.

Poor audio quality or ANC performance

Check that the correct audio codec (e.g., LDAC) is selected on your source device if available. Ensure the earcups are properly sealed around your ears for optimal ANC. Try adjusting the ANC levels in the Nothing X app. Check for any obstructions in the 40mm dynamic drivers.

Microphone not working during calls

Ensure the headphones have been granted microphone permissions by your device. Check that the microphone is not obstructed. Try restarting the headphones and your connected device.

Sound is distorted or low volume

Verify that the volume is turned up on both the headphones and the connected device. Check the EQ settings in the Nothing X app and ensure they are not set to overly reduce volume or boost bass excessively. Try a wired connection to see if the issue persists.
