2. Setup
2.1 Selecting the Right Ear Caps
The headset comes with three sets of interchangeable rubber ear caps (small, medium, large). Selecting the correct size is crucial for comfort, sound quality, and passive noise isolation.
- Test Each Size: Try each ear cap size to determine which provides the most comfortable and secure fit in your ear canal.
- Check for Seal: A good seal will block out most ambient noise and provide optimal bass response. If sound is thin or external noise is prominent, try a larger size. If uncomfortable, try a smaller size.
- Attach Securely: Ensure the chosen ear caps are firmly attached to the headset's speaker drivers.
2.2 Wearing the Headset
The SHH8006/28 features flexible ear hooks for a secure fit, especially during movement.
- Identify Left and Right: The earpieces are marked with 'L' for left and 'R' for right.
- Position Ear Hooks: Gently place the ear hook over the top of your ear.
- Insert Ear Bud: Carefully insert the ear bud into your ear canal.
- Adjust for Comfort: Adjust the ear hook and ear bud until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved. The anti-tug design helps maintain the fit even with cable movement.
