Selecting the correct size of ear tips is crucial for optimal sound quality and comfort. Experiment with the provided ear tips to find the best fit for your ears.
- Gently remove the pre-installed ear tips by pulling them off the nozzle.

Plug the 3.5mm jack of the earphone cable into the audio output port of your mobile phone, music player, or other compatible device.

Insert the earphones into your ear canals. The ergonomic design provides approximately 26dB of passive noise cancellation when properly seated. Adjust for a snug and comfortable fit.
4.2 Understanding the Tuning Versions
The KZ EDA set includes three distinct tuning versions, each offering a unique audio experience:
- Gold (Bass Version): Tuned for a strong bass response, ideal for genres that benefit from powerful low frequencies.
- Silver (Balanced Version): Offers a neutral and balanced sound profile, suitable for a wide range of music.
- Green (Hi-Res Version): Provides clear high-frequency reproduction and detailed sound, perfect for critical listening and high-resolution audio.
4.3 Using the Microphone (if applicable)
If your cable includes a microphone, it can be used for hands-free calls or voice commands with compatible devices. Refer to your device's manual for specific microphone input settings.
5. Care and Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Earphones
- Regularly clean the ear tips with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove the ear tips and wash them with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.
- Wipe the earphone bodies and cable with a dry, soft cloth.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning.
5.2 Cable Care
The high-purity silver-plated cable is designed for durability, undergoing 50,000-80,000 swing tests. To prolong its life:
- Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the cable.
