Using the noise canceling function

If you use the noise canceling function, you can enjoy music without being disturbed by ambient noise.

  1. Remove the headset from the charging case and then put the headset units into your ears.

    When you turn the headset on for the first time after purchase or just after initializing the headset, the noise canceling function is turned on automatically when you put the headset units into your ears.
    Any changes made to the settings are retained from this point on.

  2. Tap the touch sensor on the left unit to change the settings of the noise canceling function.

    Each time you tap, the function switches as follows.
    Ambient Sound Mode: ON
    You will hear the voice guidance say, “Ambient sound”.

    Noise canceling function: ON
    You will hear the voice guidance say, “Noise canceling”.
