Eartips
Westone includes two complete sets (10 pair) of eartips with all Universal Earphones.
Choose from the easy insertion of a silicone Star-Tip™, or from the maximum
attenuation (noise reduction) provided by a True-Fit™ foam eartip. It is very important
that you take a few moments to experiment with the dierent sizes and types of
eartips provided, to nd the one that ts the best.
Note: It is essential to nd the right size eartip, as the transmission of low-frequency
information is seal dependent.
Please Note: It is advisable to change the foam True-Fit eartips when they become soiled. Dirt,
dust, dried skin, body oil, ear wax, and other foreign materials may become attached to the eartips.
To prevent this and extend the life of the foam eartips (they should occasionally be replaced), please
wipe them down with a clean tissue or dry cloth after each use. If using the silicone STAR-Tips
occasionally remove them from the earphones and wash them in warm soapy water. It is very
important that they are completely dry before reinstalling them on the earphones.
Insertion Instructions
Before inserting the earphone, turn down the volume on your sound source and either drape
the cord over your shoulders and down your back, or run the cord down in front. The earphones
are marked (R) and (L); (R) for the right ear, (L) for the left. If you have selected a True-Fit™ foam
eartip, compress the foam by rolling it between your ngers (g. 1). If using a silicone STAR™ tip,
the instructions are the same except that there is no need to compress the tips. With the body of
the earphone toward the back of your ear and the cord facing forward, insert the ear tip into your
ear canal before the foam expands back to its original shape (g.2). If you have trouble inserting
the earphone reach over your head with your opposite hand and gently pull up and back on the
top of your ear before inserting the eartip. This helps straighten your ear canal and may allow
for easier insertion. The earphone cord should run over and behind your ear. Hold the earphone
in place for 5 to 10 seconds to allow the foam to expand and conform to the shape of your ear
canal (g. 3).

Once the earphones and cords are comfortably in place, slide the cable zipper on the cable up
to the base of your skull (not too snugly, as this may cause discomfort). This will limit cable
movement and help ensure that your earphones stay in place during use.
