"Smart" headphones and UFlyMike products
Posted by Brandon Lackey on
Headphones have changed and many modern headphones have become "smart". Today's headphones include many new features including pass through, touch control, and automatic battery-life and sound protection.

I cannot give...

Unfortunately, because the issue is being caused by the headphones, there is nothing we can do to address it. However, the only thing affected is the quality of...
