Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get deeper bass?

Choose Bass Boost in the app Equalizer or the Immerse Scene, or press and hold both earbuds for 1 second until you reach Bass Boost.

Why is the noise cancellation less effective than expected?

ANC works best with a snug seal. Try a different ear tip or wing tip size and reposition the earbuds.

Do I need the app to change the sound?

No. You can change sound profiles and noise control modes with the touch controls. The app adds more Equalizer presets, Scenes, Hear-Thru level control and firmware updates.

Helpful Tips

  • Try different Equalizer presets to find the one that fits your music, podcasts or videos.
  • Use ANC when commuting or working in a noisy space.
  • Use Hear-Thru outdoors or when you need to stay aware of traffic and people nearby.
  • If a touch command doesn't respond, make sure the earbuds are connected and seated properly in your ears.
  • Keep the touch surfaces clean and dry for the best response.
  • Install the latest firmware updates in the SoundForm app for the best performance.
