VMK25.2: audio quality has deteriorated

Updated

Symptom

VMK25.2 sounded normal before, but the audio has become thin, muffled, one-sided, or otherwise noticeably worse.


Quick Fix

Charge VMK25.2 fully, cycle through the listening modes, and reset by holding the `+` and `−` buttons simultaneously for about three seconds until you hear a confirmation tone.

Check the listening mode and fit first

VMK25.2's ANC, transparency, and off modes are intentionally designed to sound different. Cycle through the modes and compare the same track in each one.

Also check the cushion seal. Move your hair away from behind your ears and see whether your glasses arms pass under the cushion. Press the cups gently against your ears. If the bass or balance returns, the seal is part of the problem.

Resetting the VMK25.2

  1. Charge the headphones fully.

  2. Turn the headphones on.

  3. Hold the + and buttons simultaneously for about three seconds.

  4. Release the buttons when you hear a confirmation tone.

  5. Remove VMK25.2 from your source device's Bluetooth list and pair again.

Do not use the VMK25 AUX reset on this model. The correct reset for VMK25.2 is done with the buttons.

Compare connections and devices

Try a different track, a different playback app, and a different source device. If possible, compare Bluetooth audio with the included 3.5 mm AUX cable. If the cable sounds normal but Bluetooth does not, check the audio and Bluetooth settings on your source device and pair again.

Do not change codecs or look for a general firmware update without a model-specific guide. Different phones and computers offer different options.

If the audio is still wrong across multiple source devices on both Bluetooth and cable, send a message to info@valco.fi. State the model as VMK25.2 and list the steps you have already tried.
