And you're good to go! Please contact support@avantree.com if you have any question.

If you’d like to delete a hearing profiles that you’ve created earlier using the AvantreeAudio app, please refer to the following steps:

Apple Devices: Avantree Audio > MENU > My Audio Profiles > Select a Profile and Swipe Left > Delete

             

            

Android Devices: Avantree Audio > MENU > My Audio Profiles > Select a Profile to Open > Three Dots on The Top-Right Corner > Remove

                  

                  

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.

Turn on the headset first:

Activate Voice Prompt: Press & Hold the "+" and the "phone" buttons down together, you will hear “Voice prompt on”

               

Deactivate Activate Voice Prompt :  Press & Hold the "-“ and the "phone" buttons down together, you will hear “Voice prompt on”

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.

If you’ve connected your Bluetooth headset to your computer for conversation/meeting use, but constantly encounter issues like the microphone stops working randomly or regularly, and you will need to pair it with your computer or power it off and on again to make them work:

The issue may be caused by your computer’s built-in Bluetooth driver and may be unsolvable no matter what brand of Bluetooth headset you use.
However, we do have a temporary solution: Bypass the Bluetooth driver by using a USB Bluetooth Audio Adapter Dongle.

With it, you’ll be able to use the headsets without having to touch the built-in Bluetooth.

These adapter dongles range from $30-$50, depending on the features. They can be found on our website Avantree.com or on Amazon.

In the meantime, you may also want to try updating your Bluetooth driver and see if that solves some of the issues.

Please feel free to contact us at support@avantree.com for further help if you need.

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. 

This Troubleshooting is for Connecting a Bluetooth device DIRECTLY to your Windows Computer's Built-in Bluetooth.
The Built-in Bluetooth of some old PCs might not work, or not work well, thus, you may not be able to use the direct Bluetooth connection, or have unstable connection, hear choppy sound cutting out intermittently, etc., in this case, please try the following solutions: 

Solution 1.  Reboot your Bluetooth Driver
  1) Right-click the Start button, select Device Manager.
  2) Find “Bluetooth” section,  then Right-click on your device Bluetooth driver and select  “Disable device”.
  3) Restart your PC and repeat the above steps to Enable the Bluetooth driver again   (select  “Enable device”)
  4) Pair your Bluetooth Headphone/Speaker/Receiver with the PC again.


Solution 2. Use an External Bluetooth Driver
This method essentially "Bypasses" your Windows' built-in Bluetooth. Please see our Avantree DG10, DG40S , DG45 or Avantree DG80 for more details or contact us at support@avantree.com.

If you are having difficulty pairing the Aria headphones to your devices, please refer to the methods below to troubleshoot.

Step 1: Is the Aria in Pairing Mode?
It needs to be flashing RED & BLUE. If it's not, it's not in pairing mode.
Hold the power switch at the "Bluetooth" position for 3 seconds to get it into pairing mode.

If you are still unable to pair, continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Reset your device’s Bluetooth.
If the headphones are in pairing mode and you are still unable to locate them under the Bluetooth settings on your device, please try turning off your device’s Bluetooth and turning it back on. If you are still unable to pair, continue to Step 3.

Step 3: Factory Reset your headphones. Press & Hold the "+" and the "-" buttons together for 7 seconds until the LED indicator on the headphone turns PINK. It'll re-enter pairing mode right after the reset.

For any further questions or assistance, please feel free to contact us at  support@avantree.com

Check Point 1: Have you Connected/Paired it Properly?
Check on your device Bluetooth device list, it should say "Connected" on the menu. If not, please try to pair it to your device again.

Check Point 2: Have you been Switching between APPs?
Sometimes when you're listening to music and a call comes in, the Headphones/Speaker can have issues switching back-n-forth... this is a common Bluetooth issue and happens to every Bluetooth Headphone/Speaker. 
Please choose the headphone/speaker again (if applicable) or reboot the headphone/speaker and pair them up again.

Check Point 3: Have you Charged the Headphone/Speaker?
This might seem like a simple solution but when the device is low on battery, a wide variety of issues may occur. Please make sure that it has sufficient battery level.

If you've checked everything above but still no sound, please try the methods below.

Method 1: Try it on a Different Device.
If you have another phone, another laptop etc... try to connect the Headphone/Speaker to it and see if it works on the other device. 
If yes, it's probably something to do with the settings on your original device, please try again.
If no, please contact us for support, you may have a faulty unit.

Method 2 (For Laptops/Computers): Check the Audio Settings.
For Windows, go into Sound Settings and Sound Control Panel. For Mac, go into Sound Preferences.
Make sure that the Headphone/Speaker you'd like to use has been selected as the Audio Output/Input device.
If you're using a Meeting Software such as Skype or Zoom, you may need to go into the app itself and adjust the settings in there as well.

Method 3: Factory Reset.
If none of the methods above work, please factory reset the Headphone/Speaker and pair again. Please remember to delete the Avantree device from the paired Bluetooth device list on our sound source device, before attempting to pair again.

If factory reset still can't get it to work or if you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us at support@avantree.com

Updated app launching 1st week of November 2020. Updating the app should solve the issue.

If you encounter any unexpected behavior with the audio customization feature please check if any of the conditions below apply to you.

1) Distorted cracking audio or only one side sound - in testing scenarios, a small number of users have reported experiencing audio distortion, cracking noises or only one side sound when the audio profile is applied. This may happen if your audio profile has extreme variations - for example, if your hearing in the upper frequencies is zero (i.e. cannot hear anything) but in the lower frequencies your hearing is almost perfect (i.e. can hear everything) - as shown in the pictures below:

                                                      

In this case, please confirm the issue is only due to the audio customization feature by turning it OFF (press and hold the headphone PLAY/PAUSE button for 2 seconds to toggle audio customization ON/OFF) and test. If it is indeed due to the audio customization then unfortunately this means our algorithm cannot handle the wide variations present in your profile and is “over-compensating” beyond the capability of the hardware. We don’t have a good solution as of the time of this writing but we are actively working on a way to fix this. In the meantime the best we can do is suggest a temporary “workaround”.
Please try to redo the hearing test but this time, for the high frequencies which you previously could hear nothing (or very little) - please adjust the volume knob and leave it 10-20% purple - in effect, ‘pretend’ that you can hear some of those frequencies. For the other frequencies please test them normally. Complete the test, then save your profile to the headphones.
This new profile (as below) should now be able to compensate 80-90% accurately without distortion.

                                                      

Once again we understand this is not ideal and we’re working on a fix.

2) Inaccurate hearing test results
When performing the test please ensure you are in a very quiet environment so you can record your results accurately.

3) Using an incorrect audio profile? 
In the Avantree Audio app, please check you are using your own (and not another user's) audio profile, and that it's uploaded correctly. You can check this by accessing the menu (top left 3-horizontal lines 'hamburger' button) and selecting MY AUDIO PROFILES. From there, select the correct profile and press APPLY.

4) Please ensure the audio customization is ON
Press and hold the headphone’s PLAY/PAUSE button for 2 seconds until you hear the voice prompt "Customization ON".


If the issue persists please contact us at support@avantree.com

Unfortunately, the buttons on the Headphones CANNOT be used to pick up phone calls or mute on your Computer. 

However, if your headphone is connected to your phone and you're using Skype or Zoom on your phone, the buttons will work properly.

This is a general issue among Bluetooth headsets; our engineers are working hard to find a solution that can work around this issue.

When you'd like to MUTE the Microphone however, most of our Bluetooth headsets have independent physical Microphone Mute buttons on the Detachable Microphone.

Headsets that have the physical mute button: Aria (AS90), Aria Pro (AS90P), Aria Podio (AS90T), Aria Me (AS90TA), Audition Mic (AS9M), DG59M, C519M.

This is a general issue among Bluetooth headsets; our engineers are working hard to find a solution that can work around this issue.

When you'd like to MUTE the Microphone however, most of our Bluetooth headsets have independent physical Microphone Mute buttons on the Detachable Microphone.

Headsets that have the physical mute button: Aria (AS90), Aria Pro (AS90P), Aria Podio (AS90T), Aria Me (AS90TA), Audition Mic (AS9M), DG59M, C519M.

If you still have questions, please feel free to contact us at support@avantree.com.

Some Avantree Headphones support dual link. The models are - Alto Clair, Aria Pro, Aria Podio, Aria Me, Audition Pro.

They can be connected to 2 Bluetooth audio sender devices and work at the same time.

The Bluetooth audio sender devices include: Computer, Cellphone, Bluetooth transmitters, TV, etc.

If you own one of these models and would like to connect to two devices at the same time, it's quite simple to do so and here's how:

1. First, connect the headphones with the first device like normal. 

2. While the headphones are connected with the first device, get the headphones into pairing mode again.

3. On your second device, open its Bluetooth settings. Search for and select your Avantree device from the device list. 

Now, your headphones should be connected to both devices at the same time.

Within the Bluetooth connection, you have a Voice channel and a Music channel. They normally do NOT work together. When one channel work, the other channel pause automatically.

For instance, you are listening to your itune from laptop, and you have an incoming call. Your headphone will pause the itune music and alert you the incoming call. You can then pick up the call. When call finishes, the music will resume automaticlally. 

In some cases, you do not want the incoming alert to disrupt your music, you can choose to mute your incoming alert or change the settings to vibration. 

Sometimes, when computer is involved, things gets a bit not so smooth. After taking a call, your computer VOIP app might not be able to detect your microphone. These are all complicated as there are so many drivers, apps involved on the PC side. 

The suggestion is to get a USB Audio adapter, such as DG80, DG60 or Leaf to use with your PC. This should help to smooth your PC Bluetooth audio experience. 

All of the Aria Pro, Aria Podio and the Aria Me have Bluetooth 5.0 compatible hardware. The Aria Me however, has a personal hearing profile customization feature. The embedded software and associated app for this feature are both certified for Bluetooth 4.2 - hence the registration of this model under v4.2. From a connectivity and audio quality point of view there is no difference between these two models.

Please feel free to contact us at support@avantree.com for more questions if you have.

With most computer Bluetooth driver and default audio settings, you can hear either voice (under handsfree) or music (under stereo music profile).

To hear the music and voice at the same time, you can use the Avantree headphone with a USB audio adapter such as DG80 or DG60. That will solve your problem.

If your adapter is with batch/lot no. before 20F1 and your headphone is before 20B1, you might need to do a DFU (Firmware Upgrade). Pls contact us first and do NOT do any DFU without confirmation from Avantree support.

Please choose the correct guide according to your PC's operational system

Disclaimer: Please contact Avantree Support BEFORE upgrading. Be aware that if you upgrade without prior consultation with Avantree technical support and the product dead due to DFU misoperation, the warranty is not covered.

Before conducting the DFU, please read the Avantree Product DFU General Troubleshooting Notes

Disclaimer: Please contact Avantree Support BEFORE upgrading. Be aware that if you upgrade without prior consultation with Avantree technical support and the product dead due to DFU misoperation, the warranty is not covered.

To perform the device firmware upgrade (DFU) on macOS, please refer to this link:
Step-by-Step Device Firmware Update (DFU) Guide for macOS.
(Please refer to the Step 2 below for Windows devices to see how to enter DFU mode)

For Windows devices, please refer to the following steps:
Step 1: Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) File
Download the DFU file below the table states the function that you need, taking note of where you save it - you'll need it later. Right-click then select 'open in new tab' if you can not download it click directly

Step 2: Enter Headphones into DFU Mode?
Ensure the headphones are OFF, then use a USB data cable (Avantree USB cable with gray tip) to connect the headphones to a Windows PC. To avoid permanent damage, please do not unplug the headphones during the DFU procedure.

Then press both + and - for 7 seconds to enter the headphones into “DFU mode.” A notification may pop-up on your Windows PC, notifying you that a new device has been connected via USB.                               

Alternatively (if there's no pop-up) you can also confirm the device's DFU status by checking USB devices in your computer's Device Manager. The headphones will appear as - CSR BlueCore in DFU mode.

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.

Tested frequency response curve under different Bluetooth codec

SBC significantly dropped in low frequency and high frequency area. 

For the best audio quality, the best option is aptX HD.

All of the Aria Pro, Aria Podio and the Aria Me have Bluetooth 5.0 compatible hardware. The Aria Me however, has a personal hearing profile customization feature. The embedded software and associated app for this feature are both certified for Bluetooth 4.2 - hence the registration of this model under v4.2. From a connectivity and audio quality point of view there is no difference between these two models.

Please feel free to contact us at support@avantree.com for more questions if you have.

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.

Here are a few things you'd want to know about Bluetooth...

1. Bluetooth by nature is a short-range wireless technology.

Bluetooth was initially made specifically for wireless headsets hence its “range” was never meant to be anything more than the length of a typical backyard.

2. Bluetooth Signals are easily interfered with.

Much like almost any other modern wireless technology, Bluetooth signals can be negatively affected by things like walls, floors, other wireless devices, or even a human body.

If you want a better range & less interference, try to stay clear of the things mentioned above.

3. There are two types of Bluetooth.

In short, they are “Class 1” and “Class 2.”  Class 1 has better range (100m/300ft) but drains your battery faster, whereas Class 2 has a shorter range (10m/30ft) but is more efficient when it comes to battery usage.  

4. The “Actual Range” depends on a lot of things.

Things that can affect the range: Bluetooth version, Bluetooth type, Bluetooth profile, Brand & make, where you’re using it, what’s around you… etc and many more. Getting a bad range doesn’t necessarily mean your device is bad; try it elsewhere before you give it a conclusion.

5. The “Transmitter” and the “Receiver.”

Every Bluetooth connection consists of a “transmitter” and a “receiver.” The “transmitter” sends the signals to the “receiver.” In a typical Bluetooth headphone connection, your phone is the transmitter and the headphone is the receiver.

There are cases where one device can do both, but it is unlikely that they’ll be able to do both at the same time.

Here are some examples:

• Transmitters: Phone, Computer (can sometimes use as receiver), TV.
• Receiver: Headphones, Speaker

After the created hearing profile is applied, it will compensate on your lost frequencies. If the testing has correctly identified your hearing characteristics then it should compensate according to the same, you should be able to hear more of the frequency range which you had difficulty hearing previously. The audio compensation algorithm employed by the headphones allow for asymmetric hearing and will compensate for each ear individually. For some users who have become 'accustomed' to hearing asymmetrically - this may become a new 'norm', and sounds like overall volume boost. In these cases when the audio is 'corrected' by the compensation algorithm it may take some time to get used to it.
