QUICK TIPS

Fully dry off the earbuds before putting in the charging case to avoid any damage to the case. The earbuds are sweat/water resistant but the case is not.

Either earbud can connect to your device and be used independently. Simply take out the earbud from charging case and it will auto connect.

Choosing the correct ear tip makes a significant improvement in audio quality due to proper seal for the driver. Try all ear tips for best results.

WARM-UP YOUR HEADPHONES
Optional: Burn-in is the process for exercising new audio equipment. We recommend 40 hours of burn-in time for most headphones to reach optimal performance. The main purpose of the process is to loosen the diaphragm of a newly crafted headphone and to stress the headphone driver. Normal, everyday use can also burn-in the headphones though JLab's proprietary burn-in provides an ideal mix of sounds and frequency sweeps to achieve this.

Burn-in your audio equipment with the JLab Audio app available on the App Store and Google Play. Or access the burn-in method at: jlabaudio.com/burnin
CAUTIONS
- Avoid extreme heat, cold, and humidity.
- Avoid dropping or crushing the earbuds.
- Wax may build up in the earbud tips, lowering the sound quality. Carefully remove the wax with a cotton swab or other small tool to improve the sound quality.
- If you experience discomfort or pain, try lowering the volume or discontinuing use temporarily.
- If you experience regular discomfort while using this product, discontinue use and consult your physician.
- We recommend you treat your earbuds as you would a nice pair of sunglasses and keep them in safe location when not in use.
