The sound sometimes come from speaker when I wear E1 earphone
Please be noted that the E1 is a special acoustic design: Open-Ear-Acoustics. It is new, its purpose is to prevent ear pain after long hours wearing. (it often happens with classical earphones, like Apple AirPods).
For E1, users may need to spend 1-2 weeks to get used to it. Below are our recommended tips:

1. If your E1 earpiece is fully charged (no RED when it is in holder, if it show RED light, please keep it charging)
