Setup

1. Selecting the Correct Earphone Sleeves

Proper fit is crucial for optimal sound isolation and audio performance. The E2 earphones come with various sizes and types of earphone sleeves to ensure a personalized fit. Experiment with different sizes and materials (Flex Sleeves or Ultra-Soft Flex Sleeves) to find the best seal for your ear canal.

• Flex Sleeves: These provide a comfortable and secure fit.
• Ultra-Soft Flex Sleeves: These disposable foam sleeves gently compress for insertion and then expand to form a tight seal, holding the earphones firmly in place and enhancing sound isolation.

2. Inserting the Earphones

The E2 earphones are designed to be worn with the cable routed over the ear. This design helps keep the earphones secure and the cable out of the way.

1. Select the appropriate sleeve size.
2. Gently compress the foam sleeve (if using) before insertion.
3. Insert the earphone into your ear canal, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.
4. Route the cable over the top of your ear and behind your head.
5. Adjust the plastic sleeve on the cable behind your neck to tighten or loosen the fit as needed.

Operating Instructions

1. Connecting to Your Device

The Shure E2 earphones feature a standard 3.5 mm jack. Connect the earphone cable to the 3.5 mm audio port on your compatible device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player, tablet, computer).

2. Audio Playback

Once connected, begin audio playback from your device. Adjust the volume on your device to a comfortable listening level. Due to the sound-isolating design, lower volumes are often sufficient even in noisy environments.

3. Media Control

The earphones are equipped with media control functionality. Refer to your device's manual for specific instructions on how to use wired media controls, as functionality may vary.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Earphones

• Regularly clean the earphone sleeves and nozzles to prevent wax buildup, which can affect sound quality.
• Use the provided cleaning tool to gently remove any debris from the earphone nozzles.
• Wipe the exterior of the earphones and cable with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

2. Storing the Earphones

When not in use, store your earphones in the provided soft carry case to protect them from dust, dirt, and tangling. Avoid wrapping the cable too tightly to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound or Low Volume:
  • Ensure the 3.5 mm jack is fully inserted into your device.
  • Check the volume level on your audio device.
  • Verify that the earphone sleeves are clean and properly seated, creating a good seal in your ear.
  • Test the earphones with another audio source or device to rule out device-specific issues.
• Poor Sound Quality (e.g., lack of bass, muffled sound):
  • The most common cause is an improper seal. Re-evaluate your earphone sleeve choice and insertion technique to ensure a tight seal.
  • Clean the earphone nozzles and sleeves to remove any obstructions.
• Earphones are Uncomfortable:
  • Experiment with different sizes and types of earphone sleeves until you find a comfortable fit.
  • Ensure the cable is routed correctly over your ear to reduce pressure.
