For hygiene reasons, ear tips, foam inserts, and certain accessories cannot be returned once opened, unless they arrive defective. Please check product packaging before opening if you are unsure about fit or compatibility.

1. Try the different sizes of silicone and foam ear tips included in the box.
2. Insert the IEM into your ear canal and gently twist it backward until it feels secure.
3. A proper seal is essential for optimal bass response and noise isolation.
4. If you experience discomfort, try a smaller size or foam tips, which conform to your ear shape.

• Ear Tips: Remove and wash silicone tips with mild soap and warm water. Let them dry completely before reattaching. Foam tips should be replaced periodically.
• Housing: Wipe the IEM housing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using alcohol or harsh chemicals.
• Connectors / Pins: Keep the 0.78mm 2-pin connectors clean and dry. Avoid inserting or removing the cable with excessive force.
• Cable: Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or pulling on the cable. Store in the included case when not in use.

1. Check that the cable is properly connected to both IEM units. The 0.78mm 2-pin connector should be fully seated.
2. Try swapping the left and right cables to determine if the issue is with the IEM or the cable.
3. Test with a different audio source or cable (if available).
4. Check for debris in the connector or nozzle.
5. If the issue persists, contact our support team for warranty assistance.

1. Ensure your earphones are charged.
2. Put them in pairing mode (usually by holding the button or placing them in the case and taking them out).
3. Forget the device from your phone's Bluetooth settings and re-pair.
4. Ensure no other devices are actively connected to the earphones.
5. Update your phone's Bluetooth drivers or OS if available.
6. If problems continue, perform a factory reset (refer to your product manual for reset instructions).

1. Check that the volume on both your device and the earphones is turned up.
2. For wired models, ensure the plug is fully inserted.
3. For USB-C DSP models, ensure the USB-C port on your device supports audio output.
4. Check if earwax or debris is blocking the nozzle.
5. Try a different audio source to rule out device issues.

Burn-in is the process of playing audio through new earphones for an extended period (typically 50-100 hours) to allow the driver diaphragm to loosen and reach its optimal performance. While not strictly necessary, some listeners report improved bass response and smoother treble after burn-in. You can use normal listening or leave them playing at moderate volume overnight.

Many of our IEMs, particularly models like the EG280 and EW300 series, are excellent for gaming due to their detailed soundstage, precise imaging, and low latency (especially wired models). For the best experience, we recommend wired models or models with low-latency Bluetooth codecs.

Models with interchangeable tuning plugs or nozzles allow you to customize the sound signature:

Carefully unscrew or pull out the current nozzle.

Select your preferred nozzle based on the sound curve chart in your manual.

Align and gently screw or push the new nozzle into place until secure.

Do not overtighten.
