FAQs

What is the benefit of the open-air design?

The open-air design allows you to hear your surroundings while using the earbuds, which is beneficial for situational awareness during gaming, commuting, or when you need to stay connected to your environment.

How do I switch between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth modes?

The earbuds typically connect automatically to the last used mode. You may need to manually disconnect from one to connect to the other, or consult the manual for specific switching instructions, often involving button presses.

Can I use the Gear Link app with my iPhone?

The Gear Link mobile app features are accessible via Bluetooth connection. While 2.4GHz dongle mode is not supported on iOS, Bluetooth connectivity should allow access to the app's features.

How long does the battery last?

You can expect up to 16 hours of playback on a single charge. The charging case provides an additional 48 hours, offering a total of up to 64 hours of use.

What is Phantom Bass and Immersion Mode?

Phantom Bass is an audio technology that enhances low-frequency perception for deeper bass. Immersion Mode is a filter that reduces low-frequency background noise like rumbles or fan sounds to help you focus.

Are the touch controls customizable?

Yes, the tap gestures on each earbud can be customized individually via the Gear Link app or web portal to create personalized command shortcuts.

Is there a warranty period for these earbuds?

Please refer to the official ASUS product page or documentation for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary by region.

Troubleshooting

Earbuds not connecting via 2.4 GHz

Ensure the USB-C dongle is securely plugged in. Try a different USB port or use the USB-A adapter. Restart your connected device.

Bluetooth connection is unstable or dropping

Ensure the earbuds are within range of your device. Minimize interference from other wireless devices. Try unpairing and re-pairing the earbuds.

Audio stuttering or lag

For gaming, prioritize the 2.4 GHz connection. If using Bluetooth, ensure your device supports a stable connection and close unnecessary background applications. Check for firmware updates via Gear Link.

Microphone not working or poor call quality

Ensure the microphone is not obstructed. Check that the correct audio input device is selected in your device's settings. Verify AI Noise Cancellation is enabled in Gear Link.

Earbuds not charging

Ensure the charging case is charged. Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case. Try using a different USB cable and power adapter for the case.
