Charging

The headset and the charging case contain built-in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Use the supplied USB Type-C cable to charge the headset before use.

  1. Connect the charging case to an AC outlet.

    Use the supplied USB Type-C cable and a commercially available USB AC adaptor.

    The indicator (red) on the charging case lights up, and the charging case starts charging.

  2. Set the headset into the charging case.

    Put the left unit of the headset (the unit with the tactile dot) back into the left hole of the charging case, and put the right unit of the headset back into the right hole of the charging case. Each unit of the headset will be set to the correct position by the built-in magnet.

    The indicators (red) on the headset light up, and the headset starts charging.
    • Close the lid of the charging case after setting the headset into the charging case.
    • After charging is complete, the indicators of the charging case and the left and right units of the headset turn off.


    After charging is complete, disconnect the USB Type-C cable.

About the charging time

The required time for fully charging the left and right units of the headset is about 2.5 hours (*).

The required time for fully charging the charging case is about 3 hours (*).

*Time required for charging the empty battery to its full capacity. The charging time may differ depending on the conditions of use.

Charging the headset when you are outside

A rechargeable battery is built into the charging case. If you charge the charging case in advance, you can use it to charge the headset when you go out without a power supply.
If the charging case is fully charged, you can fully charge both the left and right units of the headset once at the same time.


Notes on charging the headset when you are outside

  • When the headset is placed in the charging case, if the indicator (red) on the charging case flashes slowly, the remaining battery charge of the charging case is low. Charge the charging case.
  • If the indicator (red) on the charging case does not turn on even when the headset is placed in the charging case, the battery charge of the charging case is empty. Charge the charging case.
