If you own the ATH-SQ1TW truly wireless earbuds, you may have noticed that they offer special features such as Google Fast Pair, hear-through mode, and low latency mode. These features can be activated and deactivated by the control sensors on the earbuds themselves, and this article provides step-by-step instructions on how to operate these functions.

Pairing the ATH-SQ1TW with Google Fast Pair

Google Fast Pair utilises Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to locate nearby Bluetooth devices and aims to make Bluetooth pairing with Android devices quick and easy.

• Turn on the Bluetooth function on an Android device configured with a Google account.

• Remove both the headphones, L (left) and R (right), from the charging case and bring them close to the Android device. A notification will not appear on the Android device if only one headphone is removed.

• Touch the pairing notification that appears on your Android device. The voice guidance will play the message “Bluetooth connected” when pairing is complete. The indicator lamps will begin flashing slowly in white.

Hear-Through Mode

The hear-through feature utilises the built-in microphone on the earbuds to allow the listener to hear the sounds from their surroundings, while listening to music.

• Touch and hold the touch sensor on the R (right) side headphone for about 2 seconds . The voice guidance will play the message “Hear-through."

•  A second long hold for about 2 seconds will turn the function off. The voice guidance will play the message “Hear-through off.”

Low Latency Mode

Low latency mode will reduce the delay in sound from your Bluetooth device to the ATH-SQ1TW, and will allow better synchronisation when watching videos or playing games.

• Touch and hold the touch sensor on the L (left) side headphone for about 3 seconds. The voice guidance will play the message “Low latency mode.”

• A second long touch of about 3 seconds will turn the function off. The voice guiadance will play the message “Low latency mode off.”

Reset Procedure

If you find yourself in a situation where the ATH-SQ1TW earbuds are not responding as expected, or if the earbuds cannot be unpaired or connected to a Bluetooth device, then follow the instructions below to reset the ATH-SQ1TW.

• About 5 seconds after both L (left) and R (right) sides are placed in the charging case with battery remaining, touch the touch sensor of both headphones twice in a row.

• The indicator lamps on both headphones will flash white, then touch and hold the touch sensor on both headphones while in the charging case for about 6 seconds.

• When the indicator lamps on both headphones light in red, reset is complete.

• Remove them from the list of registered devices on your Bluetooth device.

• Remove the headphones from the charging case again and perform pairing.
