StayHear™ tips
When you wear the headset properly, it provides the comfort
and clarity you expect from Bose®.
Fitting the headphones to your ear
The headphone earpiece has a soft StayHear™ tip attached,
allowing it to rest comfortably in the bowl of your ear. The wing
part of the tip fits just under your ear ridge.
Note: Each tip is marked with a either an L or an R
to indicate which earpiece it is for. Be sure to attach
the left StayHear™ tip to the left earpiece and the
right StayHear™ tip to the right earpiece.
To determine if the tip is the right size:
1. Insert the earpiece into the canal just enough
for the headphone to rest lightly against your ear.
2. Tilt the headphone back and press the tip wing under the ear
ridge until it is secure.
The tips should fit comfortably yet securely in the bowl of the
ear.
English
Changing ear tips
Select the type and size of eartip that provides you with the best
comfort and fit.
1. Gently peel the edges of the attached tip away from the
earpiece, using care not to tear the tip.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not pull on the
StayHear™ tip wing.
2. Position the opening of the new tip over the nozzle and the
small slot over the nozzle hook.
Note: Each tip is marked with a either an L or an R to indicate
which earpiece it is for. Be sure to attach the left StayHear™ tip to
the left earpiece and the right StayHear™ tip to the right earpiece.
3. Ease the base of the tip down around the base of the
earpiece until the tip feels secured.

Adjusting for comfort and stability
There are several ways you can adjust your headset to provide
additional comfort and stability. Using the adjustment slider and
clothing clip you can customize how you wear your headset.
Using the adjustment slider
Move the adjustment slider up or down to reduce
or increase the amount of loose cord between the
left and right earpiece. Finding the right position
for the slider can help optimize the placement of
the Answer/End button and integrated
microphone.
Using the clothing clip
Use the clothing clip to fasten the cable to
your clothing, for convenience, stability, and
to help manage the cable. This can be helpful
during high-movement activities or when
using the headset in a single earpiece
configuration.
Using a single earpiece
The Bose® MIE2i mobile headset can be used with only the
right (R) earpiece in your ear. This allows you to take calls and
still hear surrounding sounds.
