Importance of Proper Fit

Unlike some products that need to be pushed into the ear canal to perform as
intended, Bose in-ear headphones are designed to rest comfortably in the bo wl
of the ear. Because of this, they may feel different at first from what listeners are
accustomed to. The soft silicone ear tip barely contacts the opening to the ear
canal; it provides just enough contact to secure the headphones in place com­fortably without forming a tight, isolating seal.

Using your headphones

Bose® in-ear headphones are packaged with medium-sized
silicone ear tips installed; small- and large-sized ear tips are
also included in the package. Locate the left (L) and right (R)
markings on the headphones and gently insert the tips into
the bowl of your ear. Do not attempt to wear the headphones
without the ear tips.

The headphones should be push ed into the ear far enough to
establish a secure fit but not so far that they become uncom­fortable. Some users may find that the small or large sizes
provide a more appropriate fit. It is also possible that some
listeners may prefer different sizes of ear tips for each ear.

Larger sizes may be preferable if users plan to use them
during certain activities such as exercise. One size larger ear
tip may offer a little more contact with the ear, enhancing
stability.

We encourage each user to experiment with the different ear­tip sizes until finding the combination that works best for
them.

Changing ear tips

1. Gently remove the existing ear tip by peeling up from its large rounded side.

2. Slide the replacement ear tip over the nozzle of the headphone.

3. Press the ear tip securely into place until you feel it latch. The ridge on the
headphone should fit into the slot on the inside of the ear tip.

Connecting to an audio device

You can connect the headphones to any device that has a 3.5 mm stereo plug.

1. Turn down the volume of the audio device.

2. Plug the headphones into the audio output jack on the device.

3. Put on the headphones.

4. Slowly turn up the volume on the device to a comfortable listening level.

Using the “enhancement” features of audio devices

Many portable audio devices include features or settings which electronically
alter the audio signal sent to the headphones. These may include “bass boost” or
other EQ settings. Other features may serve to limit volume out such as “sound
check” or “volume limit.” Finally, other features add spatialization effects such as
“Surround”, “SMS”, “WOW”, or “3D.”

The Bose® in-ear headphones were designed to deliver high quality, balanced
sound and deep, low notes without the need for any artificial enhancement.
Therefore, when using the headphones we recommend that you first turn off all
the enhancement features before making any personal adjustments to the audio
settings.
