Quick fixes
Choose what is wrong.
Follow the short check, then confirm the expected result.
1Sound only on one side of a headphone
Possible cause: the source balance is off-center, or one earcup has a hardware fault.
- Test the other included headphone on the same TV program.
- On the affected headphone, confirm left/right balance is centered on the TV, phone, or PC.
- Turn the headphone off and on, then test another source.
Expected: speech plays from both earcups. If one earcup stays silent on every source, submit a ticket for hardware service.
2Only one headphone connects
Possible cause: direct TV Bluetooth supports one headphone, or a headphone reconnected to a phone or PC.
- Use the transmitter setup, not TV Bluetooth.
- Turn off Bluetooth on nearby phones/PCs so a headphone cannot reconnect there.
- Turn both headphones OFF, then ON.
- Press the matching black or red button on the transmitter once and wait 5–10 seconds.
Expected: both headphone LEDs turn solid blue. Direct TV Bluetooth supports only one included headphone at a time.
🔇No sound after setup
Possible cause: the cable uses an input instead of audio OUT, the TV output format is wrong, or volume is low.
- Confirm the cable uses TV audio OUT and transmitter Input from TV.
- For Optical, select Optical output and PCM.
- Check the transmitter Audio Signal LED: solid means valid audio; blinking means fix the TV output/settings.
- Raise each headphone's volume.
Expected: the Audio Signal LED is solid and speech plays from both headphones. Open the official no-sound guide →
⌁Hum, buzz, or crackling
Possible cause: a loose AUX plug or interference from USB power and nearby cables.
- Push the AUX plugs fully into both ports.
- Move the audio cable away from USB power adapters and other power cables.
- Try Optical if available; it avoids analog ground noise.
- Try a different 5 V USB power source.
Expected: clean audio without hum. If only one headphone hums on every source, submit a ticket.
⚡Transmitter will not turn on
Possible cause: the USB port has no power or a USB-C cable end is loose.
- Reconnect USB-C at the transmitter and the USB power source.
- Use a 5 V, 1–2.4 A source.
- Try another cable or powered USB port, then slide OFF → ON.
Expected: the transmitter lights turn on or blink. If no LED appears, submit a ticket with a photo of both cable ends.
Charging
Watch, dock, check the light.
Each dock needs USB-C power.
- Power the dock: connect USB-C to a powered TV USB port or 5 V, 1–2.4 A adapter.
- Dock the headphone: align the two lightning marks.
- Check the light: reposition the headphone if no charging light appears.
Charging: white LED blinks.
Full: LED turns off after about 2 hours.
USB-C charging or headphone stays off?
