What to Do if Your JLab Earbuds are not Connecting
“Forget” Your Earbuds from your Device’s Bluetooth list & Reset the Earbuds
If your earbuds don’t seem to be pairing to your device or you notice that only one device is connected, the first thing that you’ll need to do is go to your Bluetooth list on the device you are connecting to and “Forget” your Jlab earbuds.
Next, you’ll need to reset your earbuds. This process will vary depending on what model you own. We’ve listed the reset instructions for every Jlab model below. Simply find the model that you own and follow the instructions to reset your device.
JLab Go Air Models:
- With both earbuds placed inside the case, quick tap one earbud seven times (your earbuds should flash Blue three times)
- While both earbuds are still in the case, quick tap the other earbuds seven times
- Take both earbuds out of the case; if the reset process is successful, one should flash solid white while the other one should flash white and blue. Indicating that your earbuds are now connected to one another and are ready to pair.
If this didn’t seem to work in some cases, you might need to repeat this process a few more times.
Jbuds Air Models:
- Place your earbuds in the charging case, leaving the case open.
- Beginning with one of your earbuds first, you should tap the button four times. We should see blue lights blinking four times before turning a solid blue.
- Repeat this for your other earbud.
- Remove your earbuds from the charging case, being sure to keep them separated at least 2 inches from each other. Your left earbud should soon flash a solid white, while the right will be blinking in blue and white. Indicating that your earbuds are connected and ready to pair.
Epic Air Models:
- With both earbuds still place inside the case, quick tap one earbud seven times (your earbuds should flash Blue three times)
