Now that you've connected the headphones to your smartphone, it's time to listen to some music. Do you hear stuttering? This is caused by an unstable connection. Try the tips below to create a good connection:

  • Turn off all other Bluetooth devices nearby.
  • Don't stand too close to devices like microwaves and fridges, since these interfere with the Bluetooth signal.
  • Keep your smartphone in your hands or front pocket, not in your bag or back pocket.
