Reconnecting Your Sesh Evo Earbuds
Once you’ve paired your Sesh Evo earbuds with a device, they should automatically reconnect when you take them out of the charging case, provided Bluetooth is enabled on your device. However, if they don’t reconnect automatically, here’s how to manually reconnect:

Reconnecting should be a breeze most of the time, but these steps will help you get back to your music quickly if you encounter any issues.
Troubleshooting Common Pairing Issues
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Here are some common problems you might encounter while pairing your Sesh Evo earbuds and how to fix them:
Earbuds Not Appearing in the Bluetooth List
If your Sesh Evo earbuds aren’t showing up in your device’s Bluetooth list, try these steps:
