You can also reset any JBL earbud via the app. Here’s how: Now select on your earbuds. If an update is available, you’ll notice an orange circle, simply select it and install the update. If the reason for one earbud not to be working falls into the connection/pairing issue, draining your earbud’s battery can help clear data that may be interfering with the connection process.

If you would like to mute the microphone during a call, just press and hold for 2 seconds to mute and unmute the mic. While playing music, tap once to play/pause, tap twice to fast forward, and tap thrice to rewind. What’s more, you can use the earbuds in stereo or mono modes. The earbuds however do not offer volume control through touch control. JBL’s preset sound profiles, including Talkthru (low volume) and Ambient Aware (slightly higher), are fine but rather hit-and-miss to access via a swipe forward on the left bud. It renders these functions a little pointless if the best way of deploying them is to search for your phone. The moment for using them, someone calling your name in the office, for example, will simply have passed.

Change or Reset your Device’s Headphone Accommodation Settings The JBL Headphones app for Android and iOS adds another layer of functionality. There’s a 10-band EQ with various presets that can be adjusted, or you can simply create your own, or disable all EQ. You can also use Ambient Aware or TalkThru modes in the app by tapping icons on the screen, and you can customize swipe-based gestures on the earpieces to either enable/disable these modes (or disable the swipe gesture if you wish). In TalkThru mode, you hear your surroundings through the ambient mics and music volume is lowered significantly; in Ambient Aware mode, the mics are enabled but music volume remain the same.What commonly tends to occur is your earbuds may still be trying to establish an automatic connection to that previously connected device, thus resulting in a failed or corrupted connection.
