0:10
power up is a total buzzkill. But guess

fixes just like this. Let's dive in.
0:26
Let's start with an easy fix. Check the
0:28
charging port on your JBL headphones. It
0:30
might sound simple, but you'd be
0:32
surprised how often dirt, dust, or even
0:34
lint can get in the way of a solid
0:35
connection. Grab a clean, soft brush or
0:38
give it a gentle blast of air to clear
0:39
out the port. A little cleaning can make
0:41
a huge difference and might just get
0:42
your headphones back to charging like
0:44
normal. Now, let's talk about the
0:45
charging cable. Make sure you're using
0:47
the original JBL cable that came with
0:49
your headphones. Some third party
0:51
cables, especially cheap ones, might not
0:53
support charging properly. Also double
0:56
check that both ends are fully connected
0:58
both into your headphones and the power
1:00
source. It might sound basic, but a
1:02
loose connection can be the culprit. If
1:03
everything looks fine, but your
1:05
headphones still aren't charging, try
1:06
using a different power source. Plug
1:08
them into another USB port, a wall
1:10
adapter, or even your laptop. Sometimes
1:13
the issue isn't the headphones, it's the
1:15
charger. Let's say your headphones still
1:17
aren't charging. What now? It could be
1:18
an issue with the battery itself. If
1:20
your headphones are a bit older and only
1:22
hold a charge for a short time, the
1:24
internal battery may have started to
1:26
wear out. Unfortunately, all
1:28
rechargeable batteries degrade over
1:30
time. If your product is still under
1:31
warranty, the best option is to contact
1:33
JBL customer support for assistance.
1:36
Otherwise, you can consider replacing
1:38
the battery yourself. Replacement
1:40
batteries are available online from
1:41
trusted platforms like Amazon or eBay,
1:44
whichever you prefer. I've included
1:45
links to those in the description below
1:47
to make things easier for you. Here's
1:49
another possible fix. A software glitch.
1:51
Yes, even headphones have software that
1:52
can bug out. First, try resetting them.
1:55
Turn off your JBL headphones completely.
1:57
If your model uses batteries, remove
1:59
them. If they're rechargeable, unplug
2:01
them. Then, press and hold the power
2:02
button for about 30 seconds. This drains
2:04
any leftover power and resets the
2:06
internal circuits. After that, plug them
2:08
back in or pop the batteries back in and
2:10
power them on. If that works, awesome.
2:13
You're back in business. For some
2:14
models, it's also worth checking for a
2:16
firmware update. Open the JBL Headphones
2:18
app on your phone. Connect your
2:19
headphones if possible and see if
2:21
there's an update available. Install it
2:23
if you can. It might fix charging or
2:24
battery bugs. Still no luck? It might be
2:27
a deeper hardware problem like a faulty
2:28
charging circuit or damaged battery
2:30
cell. If you've tried everything and
2:32
your JBL headphones still aren't
2:33
charging, your best bet is to reach out
2:35
to JBL customer support. They're super
2:37
helpful and may offer a repair,
2:38
replacement, or at least point you in
2:40
the right direction. Let me know in the
2:41

2:43
and what symptoms you're seeing. I'd
2:45
