MACALLY MBTBUDS - Bluetooth 4.1 Wireless Headphones Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Macally MBTBUDS. The MBTBUDS is a Bluetooth 4.1 wireless headset, made of the finest materials, that allows you to enjoy your favourite music and make hands-free calls at the best audio quality and the most stable wireless connection up to a distance of 30ft/10 m. This headset supports aptX audio technology for high-quality wireless audio and Cvc 6.0 noise cancelling for a crisp and clean microphone sound. The built-in 120 mAh rechargeable battery lasts up to 6 hours of music play time (varies according to audio format, volume level and other conditions), 8 hours of talk time and 150 hours of standby time. It only needs 1-2 hours of charging time.

A very cool feature of this headset is that the earbuds are magnetic. It allows you to magnetically turn on/off your headset. Simply detach the earbuds to turn the headset on and attach them to turn it off to save battery life. Besides, when you magnetically attach them you can keep the headset conveniently around your neck or store it easily in a bag or pocket

The headset has an extremely lightweight (approx. 21 g), behind-the-neck and in-ear design (3 sets of eardbud sizes included) for maximum comfort. Resistant to water splashes, sweat and the occasional unexpected downpouring of rain (IPX4 waterproof), the Macally MBTBUD is ideal to listen to music during any activity.
