Aria Pro-SSD Product Support

Bluetooth TV and non-Bluetooth TV are paired differently, please refer to the following for more details.

First, make sure that the headphones are on. To activate the Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), slide the ANC switch toward "ANC". The LED on the switch will light up GREEN to indicate that ANC is on. 
When not in use, please remember to turn the ANC function off to prevent battery drainage.
We do not recommend activating ANC when using the headphones with a wire (not Bluetooth).

                    
How it Works:
Our Active Noise Canceling (ANC) headphones "cancel out" background noise by emitting its own sound wave that counters and reduces the volume of unwanted sounds.

Note:
ANC works best for reducing consistent low frequency background noise. It is ineffective at reducing inconsistent or sudden bursts of sound (shouting, car horns, etc.) In quiet environments, you may be able to hear some noise because the ANC microphone may be unable to detect defined background noises.

 While the headphones are in use (i.e. playing music), press & hold both “+” and “play/pause” buttons simultaneously until you hear a voice prompt “Mono Mode” / “Stereo Mode”

If you're experiencing intermittent Audio Cuts, please try to resolve the issues with the methods below:

Method 1: Clear Pairing History of your headphone and pair them again (Clear Pairing History is NOT turn on/off).

Method 2: Clear away any potential Wireless Interference Devices.
Other wireless devices in the vicinity of this set may negatively affect the working range. This "source of interference" can be a WiFi router, a TV box, or even just another Bluetooth device.To solve this issue, simply move either the source of interference away; that ought to clear the problem.

Method 3: Avoid Physical Objects.
Walls, solid materials, or even human bodies can all become "obstacles" that negatively affect the Bluetooth device's range. Please try clearing the space between the dongle and headphone, and see if that helps.

Method 4: Test with other devices (if possible).
If the three methods above still can not solve it, as a diagnostic test, please refer to this link and pair the headphone with another sound source device like a smart phone (if possible), to see how the headphone range and connection work, we would like replace the dongle for you if it will turns out to be the dongle reason, in this case, please fill in the following form to proceed:
https://avantree.com/troubleshooting-verification/always-disconnected-form

This could be caused by connection issues and can usually be fixed through a simple factory reset, here is how you do a reset of it:

After powering it on, press and hold the volume + and - buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the LED turns PINK, the headphones should then go into pairing mode and the LED will alternate between flashing RED & BLUE. The voice prompt will also say "Pairing". 

If factory reset doesn’t solve the issue, please provide the following information to help us troubleshoot:
1. Do you hear the noise from both sides? Or just one side?
2. Does it only happen while the ANC is on?
3. Did you receive it like this or was it fine until recently?
4. How exactly is the noise presenting? Is it static like, popping sound or clicking noise? Persistent or intermittent?
5. What are you using the headphones with? Phone? PC?
6. Did you notice any particular “trigger” for this issue?
7. Is it possible to record an audio clip of the noise to show our engineers?

Or please simply fill in the following Noise issue RMA form, and we will try our best to solve it as soon as we can, your cooperation is highly appreciated.
RMA Verification Form - Noise Problem Questions

Before you start, please ensure your boom microphone is NOT muted.
RED dot = muted / No RED dot = unmuted.



If the Microphone does not work well, please start with a diagnostic test with your cellphone first. If it works well with your cellphone, but not with computer, it might be a driver or settings issue. Please continue troubleshooting:

Step 1: Check if the headphone is connected via both voice and music.
Go into your Bluetooth menu and see if it shows connected both "voice" and "music", if you can not see "voice", you might not be able to use the microphone, please delete the paired history on your computer, reset the headphone and try to pair them again.

Step 2: Check your computer sound settings.
Visit your Sound Settings tab and make sure the Avantree headphone is chosen as the input and output device:

Step 3: Check the meeting Software Sound / Audio Settings.
If you're using a meeting software 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 choosen as the Avantree headphone:


Important Tip: Please make sure that you closed all other similar apps that might be using your microphone, like Face Time. 

Here are some more troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the issue:

• Make sure ALL other audio APPS are completely CLOSED. Do not use more than one AUDIO APP at the same time. Your Windows system might get confused (Most issues are here). 
• If you are using more than one monitor, make sure you plug the USB into the DOCK rather than into one of the monitors. 
• Make sure you turn off any other devices that previously paired and connected with your headphones via Bluetooth. 
• Try to RESTART your computer and try again in case the computer's input / output audio settings got confused. 

The following links can also be helpful if you have similar situation:
- The microphone stops working randomly. Please go to this link;
- The connection is not available or unstable that you hear noise or your voice is cutting out and sound quality is bad on a call, please go to this link.

If you use Avantree DG80 with Avantree Aria me, please upgrade the firmware of DG80 first to get the mic work.

Note: If you are having trouble with your Bluetooth Headphones' Microphone while connected via your Computer or Laptop's built-in Bluetooth, we recommend trying our DG10 Bluetooth Dongle. It's plug-and-play with no driver installation required, making connecting a breeze.

If problem still can not be solved, please feel free to contact our support team at support@avantree.com. We will help to fix this.

You can also choose to fill this Mic not working issue RMA form to let us help further on it if a phone call or Zoom meeting is not convenient:

If your headphone is fully charged, but it does not respond, like it will not turn off,  not enter pairing mode, or show a solid LED light (sometimes no light), it might be that the headphone is frozen, please troubleshoot as the following:

PLUG the USB / Type C charging cable DIRECTLY into the headphone charging port, and plug the other side of the cable to a power source for 3-5 sec and then unplug the cable. This should re-activate the headphone system and solve the problem.

If you're experiencing intermittent Audio Cuts, please try to resolve the issues with the methods below:

Method 1: Made Sure your Bluetooth headphone / speaker is NOT Multi-Linked

Very often, the intermittent audio cuts out issue is due to the Bluetooth headphone / Speakers are also connected with other devices, e.g. your Cellphone, PC. Please make sure you turn the Bluetooth off on those devices. 

Method 2: Clear Pairing History of BOTH devices and pair them again.( Clear Pairing History is NOT turn on/off.)

• Clear Pairing History / Factory Reset the Headphones / Speakers. (Find the instruction under 'Basic & Advanced Features' under each Avantree product Guide. For Non-Avantree items, please google "Product brand model Clear Pairing History")
  
• Clear Pairing History / Factory Reset the Adapter. (same as above)
• Pair them up again. 

Method 3: Clear away any potential Wireless Interference Devices.

Other wireless devices in the vicinity of the transmitter may negatively affect the range. This "source of interference" can be a WiFi router, a TV box, or even just another Bluetooth device.

To solve this issue, simply move either the transmitter or the source of interference away; that ought to clear the problem.

Method 4: Check the Operation range of the other Bluetooth device.

Certain Bluetooth devices have much shorter range; this "feature" is especially obvious on smaller Bluetooth devices like True Wireless Earbuds.

If this is the case, the only real solution is to simply go with another Bluetooth device - one that has a better range.

Method 5: Avoid Physical Objects.

Walls, solid materials, or even human bodies can all become "obstacles" that negatively affect the Bluetooth device's range.

Try clearing the space between your Bluetooth devices, and see if that helps.

If the above is not helpful, please fill the form - Disconnects intermittently/Unstable Connections so we can get in touch and help you to solve the problem.

Bluetooth headphones / earbuds can be used with Bluetooth-enabled smart TV directly. If your TV does not have built-in Bluetooth, then you will need a Bluetooth audio transmitter to use with your Bluetooth Headphones for TV. Or you can simply get a Bluetooth headphone TV set instead.

Note:
1. TV Bluetooth does not support aptX Low Latency and you might detect slight audio delay via Bluetooth.
2. TV Bluetooth does not normally offer a great operating range. Good quality Bluetooth audio transmitter will support longer operating range.
3. TV Bluetooth normally mute the TV speaker as well as all other TV audio outputs. So for users perfer TV speaker OR soundbar working at the same time, please use external Bluetooth transmitter instead of TV Bluetooth. 

If no above concerns, use your Bluetooth headphones with TV Bluetooth is the easiest solution for you. 

For First Time Use
1) Enter your Avantree Headphones into Bluetooth Pairing / Discoverable Mode.

2) Go to TV Bluetooth Settings and select Avantree Headphones to Connect.

Many Avantree products have incorporated the latest "aptx low latency" codec technology, for superior stereo quality sound without any noticeable delay (known as latency).

• What is aptX Low Latency - https://www.aptx.com/aptx-low-latency
• Certified aptX Low Latency device list - https://www.aptx.com/products?field_aptx_type_tid=484

* Important note*

To take advantage of the better performance of aptX Low Latency codec, the other side Bluetooth device must support the same codec. If the other side device only supports the normal aptX codec, or the SBC one, these codecs will be used instead.       

How about the audio delay when use different wireless audio codec?

Note: The latency for FastStream is almost the same as aptX Low Latency, but the audio quality of aptX Low Latency is better.

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.
