Then‚ power on your earbuds by removing them from the charging case or using the manual power-on method. The LED indicators on the earbuds will typically flash red and white‚ indicating that they are in pairing mode. On your device‚ open the Bluetooth settings menu and search for available devices.

If the issue persists‚ try resetting the earbuds to factory settings by holding the Multifunctional Touchpad on both earbuds for 12 seconds until the LED indicators flash blue. This action will erase any previous pairing information and allow you to pair with a new device.
Using the Multifunctional Touchpad
The Multifunctional Touchpad on your Brookstone earbuds offers a convenient way to control your audio experience without needing to fumble with your device. With a series of taps and holds‚ you can manage playback‚ answer calls‚ and even activate voice assistants. A single tap on either earbud will play or pause your music‚ while a double tap will skip to the next track. To go back to the previous track‚ triple tap the touchpad. Holding the touchpad for two seconds will answer an incoming call‚ while a single tap will end a call.

The Multifunctional Touchpad also allows you to adjust the volume. To increase the volume‚ double tap the touchpad on the right earbud‚ and to decrease the volume‚ double tap the touchpad on the left earbud. The touchpad can also be used to activate noise cancellation features‚ depending on the specific model of your Brookstone earbuds. Refer to your user manual for detailed instructions on how to utilize the noise cancellation feature using the Multifunctional Touchpad.
Noise Cancellation
Your Brookstone earbuds may feature noise cancellation technology‚ designed to block out unwanted ambient sounds and create a more immersive listening experience. This technology is particularly useful in noisy environments‚ such as busy streets‚ crowded public transportation‚ or bustling offices. Noise cancellation works by using microphones to detect and analyze external sounds‚ then generating a counter-sound wave to cancel them out. The result is a quieter‚ cleaner audio experience with enhanced clarity and detail.
Some Brookstone earbuds offer different noise cancellation modes‚ allowing you to customize the level of noise reduction to suit your environment. For instance‚ a “transparency mode” may allow you to hear your surroundings while still enjoying music‚ ideal for situations where you need to be aware of your surroundings‚ such as crossing the street or engaging in conversations. You can typically activate and adjust noise cancellation settings using the Multifunctional Touchpad on your earbuds or through a dedicated app.
If you’re experiencing issues with the noise cancellation feature‚ consult your user manual for troubleshooting steps. Ensure that the earbuds are properly fitted in your ears for optimal noise cancellation performance. Consider adjusting the noise cancellation mode or settings to find the best balance for your needs. If the problem persists‚ contact Brookstone customer support for assistance.
Charging
To ensure your Brookstone earbuds provide hours of uninterrupted listening pleasure‚ regular charging is essential. The charging process is typically straightforward and involves using the included charging case or a USB cable. Your earbuds may come equipped with a charging case that acts as a portable charging station‚ allowing you to conveniently recharge them on the go. The case itself may also require charging through a USB port.
Before charging‚ locate the charging port on your earbuds or the charging case. Use the provided USB cable to connect the charging port to a power source‚ such as a computer‚ laptop‚ or wall adapter. An LED indicator light may illuminate on the earbuds or charging case‚ signifying that charging is in progress. The charging time can vary depending on the model and battery capacity‚ but it typically takes a few hours to fully charge the earbuds.
Once the charging is complete‚ the LED indicator light may change color or turn off to indicate a full charge. You can then disconnect the USB cable and enjoy your fully charged earbuds.

Proper charging practices will help extend the lifespan of your earbuds’ battery.
