Inserting the Earphones

Removing the Earphones

Grasp the body of earphone and gently twist to remove.

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.

Insert the earphones so they form a tight seal. The fit of the earphone can greatly affect sound quality.

Important: If there seems to be a lack of low frequency response (bass), this means that the earphone sleeve is not forming a tight seal. Gently push the earphone deeper into the ear canal or try a different sleeve.

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

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.
