- The connection may be unstable if the device is in your pocket or your bag, so keep the device close to your headset.
- Move away from crowded areas or a spot with frequent Wi-Fi usage.
- Keep away from bare cables, microwave ovens, and wireless speakers, or turn off such gadgets if you must be near them.
- When streaming music online, the connection status may affect the sound quality. In this case, try downloading music to play.
Note:
