To reset your Vert Wireless earbuds, you must rotate the dial’s outer ring while pressing the control button within the dial. You will also need to monitor the color of the LED placed on the earbuds’ outer ring. The Jib Wireless, Jib+ Wireless, and Jib+ Active Wireless skullcandy wireless earbuds look identical, with a multifunction in-line remote housing the mic and track control button. However, the Jib+ and Jib+ Active also have volume control buttons in the in-line remote. But how you press it will vary depending on the variant you’re using.

Before you give up on a pair of headphones that seem to be on the fritz, there are a few things you can try to eke out a longer lifespan. Proper care and cleaning of earbuds can address some sound-related issues. And when it really is the end of the road for your headphones, we recommend taking your expired devices to a local electronics recycler or to Best Buy for safer disposal. Many folks are likely to enjoy the sound as is, but we liked it better after doing a little EQ tinkering in the app. Once you’ve found your ideal sound, either through presets or via the frequency-range faders, the tuning is saved to the earbuds, so you only need to make this adjustment one time.
