What should I do if there is a delay between the earbuds and the device?

It's important to note that there may be a slight delay when using any type of Bluetooth audio device, which is a common limitation of Bluetooth technology. In most cases this delay is minimal and should not impact your experience.

- Place the earbuds in the charging case and leave the case open.

What should I do if I experience sound leakage?

First and foremost, the open-sound headphones are designed to deliver a more natural and expansive soundstage, coupled with a comfortable wearing experience. This design permits some ambient noise to seep in, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings while indulging in your music. This feature proves particularly useful for outdoor activities or situations where it's crucial to be mindful of environmental sounds.
However, a byproduct of this design is the "sound leakage" issue. It's not a flaw in the product's quality, but rather a natural occurrence associated with the open-sound design. This might result in others hearing some sound at high volumes, but under normal volumes, this should seldom happen.
