Poor sound quality from product

If you experience distortion, crackling, static, noise or unexpected poor sound quality from your product:

Determine if the problem is specifically related to bass performance.

If there is too little bass, see Too little bass or too much treble from product.
If there is too much bass, see Too much bass or too little treble from product.

Do you hear static or distorted audio while in noisy environments?

If the audio is distorted while in loud environments such as construction zones or during take off on an airplane, see Crackling sound heard in noisy environments.

Try a different app.

If the issue only occurs with a particular app, it is likely related to the app or app settings.

Reboot the Bluetooth® device.

Electronics might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. This is typically done by turning the device off, then powering it on again.

Check the EQ settings on your Bluetooth® device.

The EQ settings of your Bluetooth device can affect sound. On the device, try setting the EQ to "off" or "flat" and disabling any other sound playback adjustments (i.e. loudness, compression, reverb, etc.). These settings are commonly found in the device's audio settings or in the settings of the app being used to play audio.

Be sure your product is within 33 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device.

This range can be reduced by obstacles (e.g. walls, doors, appliances, other wireless devices, etc.). Try moving the device and product closer together.

Make sure you are using StayHear+ eartips.

These headphones are designed specifically for use with StayHear+ eartips. Use of any other eartips, including original StayHear tips, will result in low audio, poor sound quality and/or reduced noise cancellation.

Your StayHear+ Tips should look like this:
