The Indy earbuds are a true wireless audio solution designed for ease of use and versatility, offering a range of features for both casual listening and active lifestyles.
The primary function of the Indy earbuds is to provide wireless audio playback and hands-free calling. They connect to your device via Bluetooth, allowing you to listen to music, podcasts, and other audio content without the need for cables. The earbuds are designed to be intuitive, with an automatic pairing process for first-time use and a straightforward troubleshooting guide for common connection issues. They support stereo calling, ensuring you hear your caller or content in both ears, and include dual microphones with active noise reduction for enhanced voice clarity during phone calls. The Indy earbuds also feature "Rapid Charge" technology, allowing for quick power-ups when you're short on time.
To get started, simply remove the Indy earbuds from their package, place them in the charging case until the LEDs turn red, then close the case. Upon reopening the case and removing the earbuds, they will automatically power on and enter pairing mode. You can then select "Indy" from your device's Bluetooth list.
If you encounter any pairing difficulties, a comprehensive reset process is available. First, place both earbuds in the charging case and remove "Indy" from your device's paired Bluetooth list. Turn off Bluetooth on your device. Then, remove only the right earbud from the case and tap its center 4 times. This will power it off and reset it, indicated by a red light. Place the right earbud back in the case. Repeat this process for the left earbud. Finally, remove both earbuds from the case; they will automatically power on and pair with each other (signaled by a single beep), then enter pairing mode. At this point, re-enable Bluetooth on your device and re-pair with Indy.
The Indy earbuds offer a "Mono Mode" feature, allowing you to use only one earbud while still being aware of your surroundings. This mode is exclusively supported by the right Indy earbud, which acts as the "Primary bud." To activate Mono Mode, ensure both earbuds are connected to your device, then simply place the left earbud back into the charging case. The right earbud will remain paired and fully functional for both phone calls and music. While in Mono Mode, you will retain all right earbud functionalities, but you will lose the left earbud's specific functions, such as volume down control and tracking backward. To revert to using both earbuds, place the right earbud back in the case, close the lid, and then remove both earbuds together. A single beep will confirm that both earbuds are paired and connected, restoring all media functionality. For future Mono Mode use, simply remove only the right earbud from the case.
The earbuds take approximately 1 hour to charge to 100% inside the case. The charging case itself takes about 2 hours to reach a full charge. The Indy earbuds feature Rapid Charge technology, providing 1.2 hours of playtime from just 10 minutes of charging in the case. They can be charged using almost any USB output, including those from PCs or laptops.
The Indy earbuds utilize Bluetooth® version 5.0, offering a reliable connection. They have a Bluetooth range of up to 30+ feet (10 meters) from your paired device, though environmental factors may influence this. They are compatible with various devices, including phones, tablets, MP3 players, and computers. For gaming consoles, Indy can be used with PS4 and Switch, but not Xbox One.
Indy supports stereo calling, meaning you will hear audio in both earbuds during calls or when listening to content. However, you have the option to use only the right earbud for a mono solution if preferred. The inclusion of dual microphones with active noise reduction enhances voice clarity during phone calls.
While not currently supported, there are plans for an update in 2019 to incorporate Siri/Google Assistant/Alexa integration. The Indy earbuds are also designed for active use, being sweat, water, and dust resistant with an IP55 rating, making them suitable for sports or workouts.
While not explicitly detailed in the provided text, the IP55 rating for sweat, water, and dust resistance suggests that the earbuds are built to withstand exposure to these elements, implying a degree of durability and ease of cleaning after workouts or in dusty environments. Regular cleaning of the earbuds and charging case, as with any electronic device, would contribute to their longevity and optimal performance.
The Rapid Charge feature is a key maintenance benefit, allowing users to quickly top up their earbuds for extended use without long waits. This helps in managing battery life effectively, ensuring the earbuds are ready when needed.
The detailed troubleshooting steps for pairing issues serve as a crucial maintenance feature. By following these instructions, users can resolve common connectivity problems themselves, ensuring the earbuds continue to function correctly and maintain a stable connection with their devices. This self-service approach to troubleshooting helps in maintaining the device's operational integrity without requiring external support.
