Part 3. Troubleshooting Shokz with Amazon Music
Even with a successful pairing, you might face issues like no sound or connection problems. These troubleshooting tips can help you get back to your music quickly.
1. No Sound or Shokz Not Playing Amazon Music
• First, confirm your headphone's volume is up, as well as your phone's volume.
• Next, double-check that your phone's audio is set to Shokz in the Bluetooth or audio settings.
• Simply close and reopen the Amazon Music app, and then try restarting your Shokz headphones.

2. Fix Amazon Music Connection on Shokz
• The quickest fix is to simply toggle your phone's Bluetooth off and then back on.
• If that doesn't work, forget or unpair the Shokz device from your phone's Bluetooth menu, then re-pair it as if it's the first time.
• For Android users, clearing the Amazon Music app cache can often solve connection glitches.
If the basic fixes above don't work, a full reset of your Shokz headphones can resolve a wide range of issues.
1. Start with your headphones powered off.
2. Enter pairing mode by pressing and holding the Volume+ button until the LED flashes red and blue.
3. Perform the reset by simultaneously pressing and holding the Multifunction, Volume+, and Volume- buttons for 3-5 seconds. You'll hear beeps or feel vibrations.
4. Turn off your headphones. They are now reset and ready to be re-paired with your device.
If you have a model with Bluetooth Multipoint (like the OpenRun Pro), a common issue is the headphones trying to connect to two devices at once. A reset will often solve this by clearing all previous pairings.
