Troubleshooting tips

  • If your boAt headphones won't turn on, connect them to a charger for at least 30 minutes using the original cable, then hold the power button for 10 seconds to reset.
  • For Bluetooth pairing issues, delete the boAt device from your phone's Bluetooth list, turn the headphones off and on, then re-pair by holding the power button until the LED flashes rapidly.
  • If audio is only coming from one side, gently clean the headphone jack or charging pins with a dry cotton swab and ensure the earcups are properly connected (for wired models).

  • If the headphones won't charge, try a different USB port and cable, and check for debris in the charging port; if the LED doesn't light up, contact boAt support.
