    If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect.
    The wearing detection function of the headset may also not work properly and cause music playback to stop automatically or activate the automatic power off function (the battery saving function) to automatically turn off the headset.

When attaching and removing the headset

In the factory settings, the built-in proximity sensor in the left unit detects when the headset is worn on or removed from your ears, and the headset automatically controls the touch sensor control panel’s operation, powering off the headset, pausing music playback, etc. (Wearing detection).


When the headset is worn

  • You can use the touch sensor control panel of the headset to play music, make and receive calls, etc.

When the headset is removed

  • When you listen to music while wearing the headset on your ears, the headset will pause music playback automatically if the headset is removed. When the headset is worn again, the headset resumes music playback.
  • In order to save the battery, the headset will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of not being worn.
  • In order to prevent the headset from reacting incorrectly, music playback, making and receiving calls, and other operations cannot be performed when the headset is removed, even if you tap the touch sensor control panel.
    The functions of the NC/AMB (noise canceling/Ambient Sound Mode) button and the ULT button cannot be used.
  • When you are talking on the headset while wearing the headset on your ears, the call is automatically switched to the smartphone or mobile phone if the headset is removed. When you put the headset on your ears again, the call is switched to the headset.
