Advantages of this product

This product is a set of wireless earbuds that connect to Bluetooth devices such as a portable music player or

smartphone.

This product also features “LISTENING CARE”, Yamaha’s proprietary technology for reducing ear fatigue.

nSupported codecs

This product supports SBC and AAC codecs.

nGoogle Fast Pair

You can easily pair this product with your Android™ smartphone. Pairing is supported with Android devices

that run Android OS 6.0 or later, or Google Play 11.7 or later.

(“Pairing and Connecting for the First Time”(p.17)

nMultipoint connection

You can pair and connect this product to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.

nLISTENING CARE

This product features LISTENING CARE, which lets you enjoy rich sound quality even at a low volume.

Focusing on the characteristics of the human ear where the low- and high-end sounds become harder to

hear at lower volumes, as well as how things sound differently in different listening environments, this

feature corrects the sound balance for the optimal sound to match the volume. By rendering a natural sound

that's easy to listen to, this feature reduces the load on your ears caused by excessive levels.

nCLEAR VOICE

Enabling CLEAR VOICE reproduces human voices with clarity, making them more discernible in content. This

is recommended for movies and games with a lot of background music and sound effects.

nGAMING MODE

This function also makes the audio and video sound more in sync, which is useful when you are watching a

video or playing a game.

(“Operations during audio playback”(p.26)

nSmartphone feature support

You can use this product to talk on the phone and start up the voice assistant while connected to this

product.
