Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Headphone (a) and Headphone (1)? +
Headphone (a) focuses on casual, everyday fun with bold, trendsetting colors (like Pink and Yellow), highly portable ergonomics, and an optimized heavy-bass audio tuning profile. Headphone (1) leans into more extensive transparent mechanical aesthetics and reference-grade studio acoustics.
Can I connect the Headphone (a) to an iPhone and an Android phone at the same time? +
Absolutely! Thanks to Dual Connection support, you can link the headphones to any two Bluetooth sources concurrently, allowing you to instantly switch audio between a tablet, laptop, iOS, or Android mobile phone seamlessly.
How does the Adaptive Smart ANC function? +
When set to Smart Mode, the headphones continually sample ambient background sounds. If you walk from a busy street into a quiet cafe, the internal chips automatically drop down the ANC level to save battery power and maintain natural ear comfort.
