While holding the right earpiece with your right hand and the left earpiece with your left hand. Bring the entire headset behind your head so that the long cable is resting on the back of your neck, then hook the earbud memory wires over your ears and pop the earbuds in.
If you follow the steps above, you will have a secure connection every time.
If the issue persists, power cycle your phone and reset the Hooke Verse by pressing the reset button (small hole on right behind ear enclosure) and repairing to your phone

Hooke Verse is not waterproof
Any 5V USB charger rated at 200mA and above.
I am experiencing dropouts in my bluetooth recordings, what can I do to fix?
REMEMBER: You can always reset your Hooke Verse by pressing the reset button, located in a small hole on the right behind the ear enclosure.
ALSO NOTE: In areas where there is a high amount of bluetooth devices in your immediate vicinity, your performance may be affected. We recommend turning on airplane mode at conventions, concerts and on busy city streets.
The recording cable is to be used with devices that do not have bluetooth, like DSLR cameras, GoPros and Field recorders. For more information on the recording cables, see here:

Yes, but only when recording audio only. You can begin an audio only recording, put the phone to sleep and in your pocket, and continue recording
Jim Head is for when you want to capture 3d audio without wearing Hooke Verse. You can place Hooke Verse on this dummy head and record 3d audio without wearing the Verse.
We have developed a custom Bluetooth recording codec to allow Hooke Verse to capture wireless 3d audio to a smartphone. In order for this to work, our mobile app does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to receiving the wireless 3d audio codec. In order for a third party app to support Hooke Verse, they would need to support our wireless 3d audio recording codec.
However, there is a way to use Hooke Verse on 3rd party apps using the Hooke recording cable. Many adapters allow you to convert your Micro USB or Lightning port into a 3.5mm stereo input. Plug one of these adapters into your phone, then plug the Hooke recording cable into the adapter. The adapter will override your built in mic and allow you to use the Hooke Verse on that app via a wired connection.
Hooke Verse does record in 24bit 48kHz. However, the packing and transmitting of this audio is unlike any other microphone on the market. Never has a microphone sent multiple channels of high quality audio over bluetooth to a smartphone before. The analog microphones at the Verse pick up omni directional 24bit 48kHz audio. This audio is then digitally sparked into bits which are sent over Bluetooth to the phone for unpacking.
It is very precise how many bits are sent and at what frequency so as to ensure optimum performance and risk bluetooth packet loss. The app then receives the bit and unpacks them into a desired file format. Though the resulting file is an m4a, it is not the m4a in which you are normally accustomed to as it has been sent via bluetooth bit transfer from a 24bit 48kHz microphone. Regardless, we plan to roll out .wav packaging and .aac packaging in further updates.
