Recommendations

For best noise cancellation, ensure a secure in-ear seal; use the Nothing X app to select the optimal ANC level or Adaptive mode. When streaming high-resolution audio, enable LDAC on both the source device and the earbuds. Charge the case regularly to maintain extended battery availability, and enable Low Lag mode when playing latency-sensitive games on compatible devices.
