Sound Isolating™ Earphones

Shure Sound Isolating™ Earphones, built with balanced armature speakers, deliver a detailed soundstage free from outside noise. The powerful and stylish Shure SE earphones come with a detachable cable, adapters, a durable carrying case, and in­ terchangeable Sound Isolating sleeves for a comfortable and personalized fit.

Detachable Cable

You may need to detach the cable from the earphones to attach optional components or to replace the cable if it becomes damaged. To prevent accidental separation, the connector has a snug fit. Take special care to prevent damage to the earphone and connector.

•Do not use pliers or other tools.

•Grasp the connector and the earphone as close as possible to where they join.

•Pull straight apart—do not twist. Cable is a snap fit, not threaded.

Note: If you pull at an angle, the connector will not detach.

•Do not pull on the cable or put any pressure on the earphone nozzle.

•Listen for a click when connecting.

•When reattaching the cable, match the "L" and "R" markings. For clear cables and earphones, match the color dots (Red=Right, Blue=Left).

Using Earphones

Choosing a Sleeve

Select an earphone sleeve that provides the best fit and sound isolation. It should be easy to insert, fit comfortably, and easy to remove.

Soft Flex Sleeves: In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from pliable rubber.

Soft Foam Sleeves: Compress the foam sleeve between your fingers and insert into the ear canal. Hold in place for about ten seconds while the foam expands.

Triple-Flange Sleeves: If desired, use scissors to trim the stem on the sleeve.

Inserting the Earphones

Carefully insert the earphone into the ear like an earplug, so that a tight seal is formed.

Important: If there is a lack of low frequency response (bass), the earphone sleeve may not be forming a proper seal. Gently push the earphone deeper into the ear canal or try using a a different sleeve.

Warning: Do not push the earphone sleeve beyond the ear canal opening.

8/27

Shure Incorporated

The fit of the earphone can greatly affect sound quality.

Wearing the Earphones

The following are some suggested ways of wearing the earphones.

Wear the cable over the ear and secure it behind the head to help keep the earphones in place during physical activity.

Tighten the cable and take up slack by raising the cable cinch.

Changing Sleeves

•Twist and pull to remove the sleeve from the nozzle.

•Slide on a new sleeve so that it completely covers the barb and the nozzle.
