Installing the earbuds correctly (see fig. )
If the earbuds do not fit your ears correctly, low-bass sound may not be heard. To enjoy
better sound quality, change the earbuds to another size or type, or adjust the earbuds
position to sit on your ears comfortably and fit your ears snugly. If the earbuds do not fit
your ears, try another size or type. Confirm the size of the earbuds by checking the color
inside (see fig. - for hybrid silicone rubber earbuds and - for noise isolation
earbuds).

Prolonged use of the noise isolation earbuds may strain your ears due to their snug fit. If you have
Earbud
experience discomfort or pain in your ears, discontinue use.
The pressure-relieving urethane cushion is extremely soft. Therefore, do not pinch or pull the
urethane cushion. If the urethane cushion is broken or detached from the earbuds, it will not take its
correct position and the earbuds will lose their noise isolation function.
The pressure-relieving urethane cushion may deteriorate due to long-term storage or use. If the
pressure-relieving power is lost and the urethane cushion becomes hard, the earbuds may lose their
noise isolation function.
Do not wash the noise isolation earbuds. Keep them dry, and avoid accumulation of water in the
pressure-relieving urethane-cushions. Not doing so may cause early deterioration.
Tactile dot
