On-Ear - Ears squeezed
At Libratone we do our utmost to find the size that fit most customers.
However - sometimes ears are squeezed during use of our Q Adapt On-Ear.
Try mounting your headphones stretched over some books over night.
That may remove some pressure on your ears.
Don't stretch you earphones to much. You can always add an extra book the following night :)

To turn the volume up, slide your finger around the Nightingale in a clockwise motion.

This document provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide and feature overview for the Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear headphones. It covers common issues like Bluetooth connectivity, physical comfort, and detailed instructions for using various functionalities such as volume control, Siri integration, CityMix™ adjustable noise cancelling, and the Touch Interface. The guide also explains how to set up and manage a PLUS 1 SoundSpace group for simultaneous music playback on two headphones and how to perform a factory reset.

Function Description:

The Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear headphones are designed to provide a high-quality audio experience with advanced features for personalized listening and seamless integration with smart devices. Their primary function is to deliver audio wirelessly via Bluetooth, while also offering active noise cancellation and intuitive touch controls.

Usage Features:

Bluetooth Connectivity:

The headphones connect wirelessly to smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth. The setup process involves powering on the headphones, pressing and holding the Function button to enter Setup mode (indicated by side-to-side blinking lights on the Touch Interface), and then selecting the headphones from the Bluetooth menu on the smart device. A double blink on the Touch Interface confirms a successful connection. Bluetooth is automatically disabled when an audio cable is inserted.

Bluetooth Troubleshooting (Name not listed correctly):

If the customized name of the On-Ear headphones isn't appearing correctly in the Bluetooth list on an iPhone, a specific procedure is outlined:

1. Rename the On-Ear headphones using the Libratone App.
2. Switch off the On-Ear headphones.
3. Navigate to "Settings" > "Bluetooth" on the iPhone.
4. Locate the On-Ear headphones (e.g., "Libratone Q ADAPT O....") in "My Devices" and tap the "i" icon.
5. Select "Forget This Device" twice.
6. Switch on the On-Ear headphones.
7. Activate pairing mode by long-pressing the setup button on the right side until a side-to-side signal appears in the Touch Interface.
8. Go to "Settings" > "Bluetooth" on the iPhone.
9. Select the re-named On-Ear headphones from "Other Devices."

Volume Control:

Volume adjustment is performed using the Nightingale (the bird icon) on the Touch Interface. Sliding a finger around the Nightingale in a clockwise motion increases the volume, while a counter-clockwise motion decreases it.

Siri Integration:

The Q Adapt On-Ear headphones are compatible with Apple's Siri. To activate Siri, users press and hold the Touch Interface with two fingers for approximately 5 seconds. Music will stop, and an audio cue from the iOS device will indicate Siri's activation.

CityMix™ Adjustable Noise Cancelling:

This feature allows users to control the amount of ambient sound they let in. There are four CityMix™ levels, which can be adjusted directly using the Function button on the headphones or via the Libratone App. A short press of the Function button cycles through the four levels. In the Libratone App, users can select their Q Adapt On-Ear headphones in SoundSpaces and slide a finger around the CityMix™ Control Circle to switch between levels.

Hush Function:

To allow maximum talk-through, users can click the Hush button (available in the Libratone App) to mute music and temporarily deactivate noise cancelling.

Touch Interface (General Use):

The Touch Interface on the Q Adapt On-Ear headphones is multi-functional:

• Play/Pause: Tap the Nightingale with two or more fingers to pause or resume music.
• Skip Track (Forward): Double-tap the Nightingale with two or more fingers to skip to the next track.
• Skip Track (Backward): Triple-tap the Nightingale with two or more fingers to skip to the previous track.
• Talk-Through: Place a hand over the Touch Interface for 3 seconds to activate Talk-Through. This stops music and activates microphones, allowing users to hear their surroundings without removing the headphones. Repeating the action resumes playback.
• Answer/End Phone Calls: Tap anywhere on the Touch Interface with two or more fingers to answer or end a phone call using the built-in microphone.

PLUS 1 Setup via Libratone App (SoundSpace Grouping):

The PLUS 1 feature allows two Q Adapt On-Ear headphones to form a Bluetooth SoundSpace group, enabling simultaneous music playback on both.

• For iOS (iPhone and iPad) using Drag-and-Drop:
  1. Connect both headphones in the Bluetooth menu of the iPhone/iPad.
  2. Start the Libratone App.
  3. Press and hold headphone 2 and drag it onto headphone 1.
  4. An audio cue and a SoundSpace Link in SoundSpaces confirm completion.
• For Android using PLUS 1 button:
  1. Connect one headphone in the Bluetooth menu of the smartphone.
  2. Start the Libratone App.
  3. Tap one headphone in SoundSpaces.
  4. Tap the PLUS 1 button at the bottom of the page.
  5. Activate setup mode on the second pair of headphones and press NEXT.
  6. Tap the second pair of headphones when it appears on the next page.
  7. An audio cue and a SoundSpace Link in SoundSpaces confirm completion.

Playing a PLUS 1 SoundSpace Group:

Simply start music on the smartphone.

Dissolving a PLUS 1 SoundSpace Group:

1. Start the Libratone App.
2. Tap on the SoundSpace LINK in SoundSpaces.
3. Tap on GROUP SETTINGS.
4. Choose UNLINK. Note: Headphones automatically leave the SoundSpace Group when powered off.

Maintenance Features:

Ears Squeezed (Comfort Adjustment):

If the headphones feel too tight or "squeeze" the ears, a suggestion is provided to alleviate pressure:

• Stretch the headphones over some books overnight. This can help widen them slightly. Users are advised not to over-stretch and can add more books on subsequent nights if needed.

Factory Reset:

A Factory Reset is recommended for resolving technical issues related to incorrect settings or if PLUS 1 setup fails.

• Procedure for PLUS 1 setup failure:
  1. Perform a Factory Reset on both headphones (this automatically activates Setup mode).
  2. Delete existing Bluetooth connections on the smartphone.
  3. Perform a new PLUS 1 setup using the appropriate method for iOS or Android.
• The document implies that a Factory Reset can be performed as a general troubleshooting step for various technical issues. The specific steps for performing a Factory Reset are not detailed in this excerpt but are referenced as a solution.
