Charging the Soundmates ANC
To ensure optimal performance, fully charge your Soundmates ANC before initial use. Utilize the provided USB charging cable to connect the charging case to a powered USB port. The earbuds will begin charging automatically when placed inside the case.
Charging time typically ranges between one to two hours for a full charge. While charging, the charging case indicators will illuminate, providing visual feedback on the charging progress. Once fully charged, the indicators will typically change color or turn off.
For best results, use a standard 5V/1A USB power adapter. Avoid using fast chargers, as they may potentially damage the battery.
Initial Charging Procedure
Before first use, it’s crucial to fully charge both the Soundmates ANC earbuds and the charging case; Connect the charging case to a USB power source using the provided cable. Place the earbuds securely inside the case; they will automatically begin charging, indicated by a light.
Allow approximately 1-2 hours for a complete initial charge. The charging case’s indicator lights will display the charging status. A full charge ensures maximum battery life and optimal performance. Disconnect the charging case once fully charged to prevent overcharging.

Charging Case Indicators
The charging case features LED indicators to display the charging status of both the case itself and the earbuds. A solid red light indicates the case is currently charging via USB. Once fully charged, the indicator will turn to a solid blue light.
When the earbuds are placed inside the case, the indicator lights will pulse to show they are charging. The number of pulsing lights corresponds to the remaining battery level of the earbuds. No lights mean the earbuds are fully charged.
Pay attention to these indicators to ensure your Soundmates ANC are always ready for use.

Earbud Touch Controls
Soundmates ANC earbuds feature responsive touch controls for seamless operation. A single tap on either earbud manages play/pause functions and answers or ends phone calls. Double-tapping an earbud will activate call management features, potentially redialing the last number.
Precise control over your audio experience is achieved through touch gestures. To adjust the volume, utilize specific touch commands on either earbud – consult the full manual for details. These intuitive controls eliminate the need to reach for your paired device, offering convenient, on-earbud management of your music and calls. Mastering these gestures enhances your overall listening experience.
Volume Control
Soundmates ANC earbuds offer convenient volume adjustment directly through touch controls. To increase the volume, typically a double-tap on the right earbud is utilized. Conversely, decreasing the volume is often achieved with a double-tap on the left earbud. However, specific gesture configurations may vary, so referencing the complete user manual is crucial.
These intuitive touch controls allow for quick and easy volume adjustments without needing to access your paired device. Experiment with the touch gestures to find the most comfortable and efficient method for controlling your audio levels.

Play/Pause & Call Management
Soundmates ANC earbuds simplify media control and call handling with intuitive touch gestures. A single press on either earbud typically pauses or plays your current audio track, offering seamless interruption and resumption. For call management, a single press often answers or ends an incoming call.
To reject an incoming call, a longer press on either earbud may be required. These controls eliminate the need to reach for your paired device, providing convenient, hands-free operation. Familiarizing yourself with these gestures enhances usability and ensures a smooth, connected experience while enjoying music or making calls.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Control
Soundmates ANC earbuds feature active noise cancellation, minimizing distractions for immersive audio. Control typically involves a touch gesture – often a longer press on one of the earbuds – to toggle ANC on or off. Some models may offer multiple ANC levels, selectable through repeated presses.
When ANC is activated, external sounds are reduced, allowing you to focus on your music or calls. Disabling ANC allows ambient sound to pass through, useful for awareness of your surroundings. Experiment with the controls to find the optimal setting for your environment, maximizing your listening experience.
Sound Quality and Audio Settings
Soundmates ANC delivers high-quality audio with stereo sound, enhanced by active noise cancellation for a truly immersive listening experience, as detailed in the manual.
Optimizing Audio Performance

This maximizes noise isolation, enhancing the effectiveness of the active noise cancellation (ANC) technology. Experiment with the included ear tip sizes to find the perfect seal.
Furthermore, consider the audio source quality; higher bitrate files will naturally deliver superior sound. Adjust the volume on both your Soundmates ANC and the connected device to a comfortable listening level. Avoid excessively high volumes to protect your hearing. The manual emphasizes that proper usage and fit are crucial for optimal performance, allowing you to fully enjoy the immersive sound quality.
Troubleshooting Audio Issues
If you encounter audio problems with your Soundmates ANC, first verify the volume levels on both the earbuds and your paired device.

Should only one earbud produce sound, attempt to re-pair both earbuds to your device. Refer to the manual for specific re-pairing instructions. If issues persist, reset the earbuds by placing them in the charging case and following the reset procedure outlined in the user guide.
Maintaining Your Soundmates ANC
Regular cleaning and proper storage are crucial for extending the lifespan and ensuring optimal performance of your tzumi Soundmates ANC earbuds.
Cleaning and Care
To maintain the pristine condition and optimal functionality of your Soundmates ANC earbuds, regular cleaning is essential. Gently wipe the earbuds with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove any earwax or debris. Avoid using excessive moisture or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the internal components.
For stubborn residue, slightly dampen the cloth with distilled water, ensuring it’s not dripping wet. Pay particular attention to the ear tips and the charging contacts. Regularly inspect the charging case and clean it similarly, removing any dust or particles that may accumulate. Proper cleaning will not only enhance hygiene but also ensure a secure connection during charging and usage, prolonging the life of your Soundmates ANC.
Storage Guidelines
