I cannot connect my left earbud. When I try to connect the earbuds, the rifht one says Air one connected but the left one blinks really, really fast. We have tried to reset them, but we never get the reset sound.
We have tried to connect only the left one to my phone and ipad, but it is not possible.
best regards,
Susanne
Hi Susanne,
It seems that you are using standard model of Air 1. Please see below link to correct reset procedure: https://happyplugs.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010390760-Air-1-How-to-Reset
Make sure your LED lights stay steady during the reset and flash 3 times after you hold touch controls for 10 seconds.
If nothing works, feel free to write us at help@happyplugs.com.

Hi,
I just got the Air1 plus earbud today; however, there is no alert sound when I adjust volume on the left earbud. But the Right one is working fine when I did those Skip command though.
I already tried to reset it and reconnected to my iPhone but the issue is still persist.
Had tried a couple times even with my iPad and now stated Unsuccessful connected but is actually working except those Alert sound on my Left earbud only.
Is it defective or how to fix it?
Thanks.
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Left earbud on your Air 1 will not have any alert sound when adjusting your volume. The volume will change with no beep sound.
Only right earbud commands will give you a sound to confirm that it worked.

Hi,
Only just bought the buds today, so I can't really give you review. So far so good though.
The only thing, is that when I'm in, for example, my bathroom, the music seems to 'stutter' a little bit, as if the connection breaks.
What could this be?
Thanks in advance,
Laura
Hi Laura,
Thanks for your feedback. It depends on the range of the earphones from your device.
Also it can be the interference that affects the connection which is common for bluetooth operated devices.
Please let us know if you have questions at help@happyplugs.com and we will be glad to assist you further.

I find the touch controls extremely difficult to use - I don't like that you can't see/feel WHERE the sensor is. I keep touching the earbuds in that area, and it either does nothing, or if I'm tapping it twice, it'll only register one tap and do whatever that one tap command is instead. I'm finding it very frustrating in trying to use the tap controls, which is sad because otherwise I love them!

Thanks - I'm aware that that's where it's located, but I still have issues. Because there's nothing to FEEL, you can't actually TELL if you're tapping in the right spot. And obviously at TIMES I'm getting the right spot, because sometimes I can get it to work, other times not. Or, I'll get the wrong result. If it pauses instead of skipping to the next track, then that means I only got 1 of the taps in the exact spot, even though it feels like I tapped twice in the same spot. It just seems like either the area is too small, or not sensitive enough? Like I said, I know exactly where the touch sensor is SUPPOSED to be located, I just can't seem to get them to work properly with any consistency.

I received my "Happy" Plugs today. The plugs may be happy but I'm not. Sound is good (unless you put the rubber sleeves on which are supposed to improve the sound) but the touch control is just complete rubbish. Another one of those products that pretend to be user-friendly but in practice are terribly frustrating to use. About 1 in 50 touches registers so you look like a complete idiot tapping away at your ears. Inexcusable for a product this expensive.
Is it simply naïve product design, bad quality control or is the touch control feature only meant for marketing purposes and not actually supposed to do anything?

Hi Mike and everyone else with tapping issues. First of all, there is never a reason to be rude to customer service. Second, I have tried out some tapping techniques and found one that works perfectly for me.
I put my finder along the ear plug, with the finger tip at the top, i.e. where the sensor is. So instead of only touching one very limited point with my finger tip, the upper part of my finger touches all of the plug. Perhaps this way the finger tip is automatically located in the middle of the plug, where the sensor is, rather than (without seeing it) touching more the left or the right side next to the sensor. This technique doesn't take any longer to tap, you just get used to putting your finger on the plug that way.
I hope this will help others too.
can i turn off the touch feature its not for me 😣
