    Some common reasons are that the device is too far from the speaker or there’s another device interfering with your connection. Make sure both the speaker and your device have Bluetooth enabled and that they’re both sufficiently charged.

    This is a common problem without any reliable solutions. Resetting your earbuds might help. Some users also report that certain devices have advanced settings for dual Bluetooth devices that may need to be activated in order for both earbuds to work.

    If they’re charged, your earbuds should turn on automatically when you take them out of the case. You can also turn them on manually by pressing and holding the button on the earpiece for 5 seconds.
