Once reset, the headphones will go back to pairing mode, so you need to re-locate them in the phone's Bluetooth menu and connect them as if they were a new device, and make sure there are no other devices that are already connected that can try to connect automatically.
Optimizing sound quality and stability
To ensure the best sound quality, it's important to consider environmental factors.The AAC and LHDC protocol supported by the model is sensitive to radio interference.Try not to keep your phone in your pants pocket if you're in a place with a large congestion of Wi-Fi routers or microwave ovens.
Clean the speaker grid and charging contacts regularly. Sulfur and dust can block sound and prevent normal charging, which indirectly affects the Bluetooth module from running due to voltage surges. Use dry soft fabric or cotton swab.
Also make sure that the headphones sit tightly in the ears. A loose fit not only worsens noise cancellation, but can also cause microphone interference, as the system will try to compensate for external noises by distorting the voice of the interlocutor.
