3. How to wear
Microphone
Insert each earbud into your ear and ensure the
microphones are pointed towards your mouth.
The EarGels have an oval shape to provide you
a better fit in the ear. This means that the
body of the earbud does not sit as deeply
within the ear. To further improve the comfort
and audio experience, each earbud features a
semi-open design with pressure relief vents to
reduce the ‘earplug effect’ in your ears.

3.1 Changing EarGels
For the optimal audio and ANC experience, it is
recommended to try each of the different
EarGel sizes. The fit should feel light and
comfortable in your ear. The medium EarGels
are pre-mounted on the earbuds.

When attaching a new EarGel, ensure the oval
mounting tip on the earbud is aligned with the
oval attachment on the EarGel. Press the
EarGel firmly onto the earbud.

4. How to charge
Get up to 5.5 hours on a single charge with
ANC on, with a total charge of up to 25 hours
with the charging case. If you use the earbuds
without ANC and HearThrough, you’ll get even
more battery, with up to 7 hours in the earbuds
and a total of 31 hours with the charging case.
4.1 Charging the earbuds
Place the earbuds in the charging case and
close the lid. It takes up to 2.5 hours to fully
recharge the earbuds.
When the charging case is opened, the LEDs on
the earbuds will light up red, yellow or green to
indicate the battery status of the earbuds. The
LED on the front of the charging case indicates
the battery status of the charging case.

11
ENGLISH
4.2 Fast charge the earbuds
When the earbuds are at low battery, placing
them in the charging case for 15 minutes will
fast charge the earbuds and give up to 60
minutes of battery. Fast charging the earbuds
requires that the charging case has a minimum
of 30% battery.
You can see the current battery status of the
earbuds and charging case using the Jabra
Sound+ app.

12
ENGLISH
4.3 Charging the charging case
using USB
Plug the supplied USB-A to USB-C charging
cable into the charging case and a USB-A
power supply or certified wall charger. It takes
up to 3 hours to fully charge the earbuds and
the charging case.
USB-C
The charging case uses the standard USB
voltage of 5v +- 0.25v. It is not recommended to
charge the earbuds using a power supply with a
higher voltage.
Note: Third-party USB chargers may take longer to charge
the charging case.

13
ENGLISH
4.4 Charging the charging case using
the Jabra wireless charging pad
The charging case is Qi-certified. Place the
charging case in the center of the Jabra wireless
charging pad. The LED on the charging case
will flash to indicate the charging case is placed
correctly. It takes up to 3.5 hours to fully charge
the earbuds and the charging case.
PLACE IN CENTER
Because wireless charging pads take longer to
fully charge a device, this may result in the
device becoming warm. The elevated
temperature is within safe operating
requirements and has no bearing on the
lifespan or performance of the device.
Note: Third-party wireless charging pads may take longer to
charge the charging case.

Sidetone enables you to hear your own voice
when you are on a call. The benefit of Sidetone

Sidetone is on by default during calls and can
be turned on/off using the Jabra Sound+ app.
By default, Sidetone on/off cannot be
controlled using the earbuds. However, it can
be added to the earbuds using MyControls in
the Jabra Sound+ app.
