OPENEAR Manuals & User Guides

OPENEAR is a consumer audio brand focused on the development of open-ear listening technology, including air conduction and bone conduction headphones. Unlike traditional earbuds that block the ear canal, OPENEAR products rest outside the ear, allowing users to enjoy music and calls while remaining aware of their surroundings. This design philosophy makes them particularly suitable for runners, cyclists, swimmers, and drivers who need to stay alert to environmental sounds.

The brand's product lineup includes the Legato, F3 Air, and AS18 series, offering features such as Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, water resistance (ranging from IPX5 to waterproof ratings for swimming), and lightweight ergonomic frames. Whether for communication or fitness, OPENEAR aims to provide comfortable, secure-fit audio solutions that prioritize safety and long-term wearability.

• How do I pair my OPENEAR headphones via Bluetooth?

  Typically, power on the headset by holding the power/MFB button for 3 seconds until the LED flashes (usually white and green). Open your device's Bluetooth settings, search for the model name (e.g., 'OPENEAR Legato' or 'AS18 X2'), and select it to connect.

• How do I restore OPENEAR headphones to factory settings?

  For most models, ensure the device is powered off, then press and hold the specific button (often the '+' button or MFB) for 10 seconds until the LED flashes specifically to indicate a reset. Refer to your specific model's manual for exact button combinations.

• Are OPENEAR headphones waterproof?

  Ratings vary by model. The AS18 X2 is often rated for swimming (check specific depth limits), while models like the Legato or F3 Air typically offer IPX5 water resistance, suitable for sweat and rain but not submersion.

• How do I switch between Music and Communication modes?

  On supported models like the Legato, double-click the designated button (often the '-' button or MFB) to toggle between sound modes. Voice prompts will usually confirm the mode change.
