One of the best manufacturers of wireless earbuds is JLab Audio, and one of its flagship products is the Go Air Wireless Earbuds. However, like most devices, many people find it challenging to navigate some functions of this device.

One major problem first-time users encounter is turning OFF the earbuds. This is quite common since wireless earbuds are relatively new, and most people who use this device are first-time users. So, how do you turn OFF JLab Go Air?

The JLab Go Air earphones will turn OFF when placed in the case, and this is the easiest way to turn it OFF, according to the product manual. But in this article, I’m going to show you how to turn OFF JLab Go Air using different other methods. I’ll also address some common questions or challenges people face when using these earbuds.

Many people have a problem turning OFF the device by pressing and holding it for 3 seconds, as recommended by JLab in the manual. However, there are two other ways to turn OFF JLab Go Air, and the first is the easiest.

Method 1: Place it in the charging case

Remove the earbuds from your ears and place them in the charging case, and that should automatically turn OFF your JLab Go Air.

Why won’t my JLab Go Air turn OFF – Possible causes and tips to fix

To turn OFF your JLab go air, place it into the charging case, and it will automatically turn OFF JLab Go Air. However, if your Earbuds don’t turn OFF, it could be because:

1# Factory problem on earbuds

I’ve seen a couple of users on Reddit finding it challenging to turn OFF the earbud by pressing and holding it for 3 seconds, as recommended by JLabs. Unfortunately, no one has found a way out of this problem. The only option is to turn it OFF via the charging case or forget the device in your Bluetooth setting.

2# The charging case is faulty

This could be because the case is old, was poorly handled, or has a factory error.

The best solution is either to return the earbud and the charging case if the product is still within the warranty period or get a new one.

3# The batteries are dead or faulty

The charging case won’t turn OFF the earbuds if the battery is dead. You might have to turn it OFF through your phone’s Bluetooth settings by forgetting the device. Then the earbuds will turn OFF in three minutes. Don’t forget to charge the case, however.
