Dulcet Pro Product Support

The Dulcet Pro is a USB Wired Headset with a long cord for PC, computers, and laptops, ideal for office work and meetings.

To connect the Dulcet Pro to your PC or laptop, simply connect the attached USB cable to a USB port on your computer. 

The first time you connect your headset to your computer, it will automatically begin to download the setup drivers required to use the headset onto your computer.

Next, go to the sound settings on your computer and set the Output and Input device to Avantree. See the above image for instructions.

If you are on a Windows device, go to the Settings menu first, then System, then finally Sound.

If you are using a Mac, you can find the sound settings through System Preferences.

Now you should be good to go!

In the box, you will find these contents:

One headset with noise cancelling microphone, and one cord with multi-functional in-line controls. The cord comes attached to the headset and CANNOT be removed.

The Dulcet Pro volume/mute buttons are large, intuitive, and easily accessible on the headset cord. The MIC ON/OFF button doubles as an indicator which switches between Red and Blue light depending on the microphone status.

Please find the in-line controls on the headset cord. Mute yourself or your call with a click of a button, great for those with finger dexterity issues.

There are four buttons on the in-line controls. The Mic On/Off button, Volume Up button, the Volume Down button, and the Music Mute button.

To adjust the volume on the Dulcet Pro, use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons located on the in-line controls on the cord. The Volume Up button is the "+", and the Volume Down button is the "-".

To mute or unmute the rotatable microphone, use the MIC ON/OFF button. It is the top button on the cord remote. The indicator light will be red when muted, and blue when unmuted. Please do not confuse this button with the Music Mute button, which is the button on the bottom of the remote.

To mute or unmute the sound coming through the headphones, use the Music Mute button. It is the bottom button on the cord remote. Please do not confuse this with the MIC ON/OFF button, which is the button on the top of the remote.

Proper daily maintenance of the earpads can make them last longer ensuring the best sound, if you are interested in how to use them in a protective way, please refer to the following tips:

1. Keep the earpads in dry condition.
2. Regularly wipe the inside of the earpads with a soft and dried cloth or brush to remove dust, earwax, or oil from your skin.
3. The earpads can be taken off from the headphone for better cleaning.
4. Tools like a cotton swab and small bushes as tooth brushes but with soft hair might be needed.
Please feel free to contact us at support@avantree.com for any help you need.

Before you start, please ensure that your rotatable mic is NOT muted.

If the MIC ON/OFF button is RED, that means your mic is muted. If it is BLUE, that means your mic is unmuted.

If it is unmuted but the mic still doesn't work, it might be a driver or settings issue. Please check the following to troubleshoot further:

Step 1: Check your computer's sound settings.

Visit your Sound Settings tab and make sure the Avantree headphone is chosen as the input and output device:

Step 2: Check the meeting software's Sound / Audio Settings.

If you're using a meeting softward such as Skype or Zoom, please also check the Audio & Video Settings within the software and make sure the Microphone input device and the Speaker out device are selected as the Avantree headphone:

Please visit avantree.com to purchase replacement earpads.

The Environmental Noise Cancelling Micropone on the Dulcet Pro is rotatable for a comfortable fit around your face, made to be comfortably used for hours.

To adjust the microphone, rotate the microphone to the desired position. The microphone can rotate both forwards and backwards.

Your pacemaker is designed to work properly around most appliances and tools. However, electromagnetic interference (EMI) from headphones and earbuds may affect how your pacemaker works. These effects are usually temporary. Still, we recommend following these guidelines to stay safe.

Anything that transmits Bluetooth or with a magnet inside cannot be used closer than 6'' (15 cm) to a pacemaker. All of our Headphones, Speakers, and Earbuds, as well as all of our Bluetooth products fall under this category, and must not be placed very close to your pacemaker. Normal usage of our headphones and earbuds - wearing them in or over your ears - is completely safe.

The Takeaway: It’s safe to use headphones and earbuds with your pacemaker, but you should not drape them around your neck or store them in a breast or other shirt pocket - as that would put them too close to your pacemaker. Normal usage should bear no problems.

3. on the in-line controls or on a Tag near the 3.5mm AUX Plug;

4. on metal head of the adapter;

As you may know, earbuds get dirty pretty easily... Earwax, dust, water etc. can all do damage to them. Uncleaned earbuds may lead to...

• Music sounding muddy or muffled
• Different volume on the two earbuds
• Abnormaly low volume / tinny sound after using for a period of time

Daily maintaince can effectively eliminate such problems.

• Before wearing the earbuds, make sure to clean the inner side of the ear.
• Always wear and use earbuds in dry condition.
• After using the earbuds, wipe the inside of the earbud tip with a soft and dry towel to remove dust, earwax, or oil from your skin.

If you're already experiencing different volume levels between the two earbuds, please try to follow the following steps to clean them out:

(These apply to all Avantree earbuds, but the following uses the NB18 as an example.)

1. Materials you'll need: a cotton swab and dried brush (if you can't find the black cleaning brush, a toothbrush can work instead.)

2. Take off the earbud tips from the earbuds smoothly. Do not detach the earbud tip from the earbud excessively as it may tear.

3. Use a cotton swab and dried brush to remove any debris and foreign materials.

4. If foreign substance is still present, try brushing the earbuds again to dislodge the remainder.

5. After you finish cleaning, please assemble the earbud tip back to the earbud properly. Cover the latch at the bottom of the earbud with the earbud tip like below.

Please note: Do not use liquid like alcohol or soapy water for cleaning earbuds as some of our earbuds are not alcohol-proof or soapy-waterproof.

If the problem still exists after cleaning the earbuds, please contact support@avantree.com for help.
