Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and sound quality.

• Remove the ear adapters from the earphones.
• Use the provided cleaning tool to gently remove any earwax or debris from the earphone nozzles and ear adapters.
• Wipe the earphones and ear adapters with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure the earphones are completely dry before reattaching the ear adapters and using them.

5.2. Storage

When not in use, store your IE60 headphones in the protective carrying case to prevent damage to the earphones and cable.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Sound or Low Volume:
  Ensure the 3.5 mm plug is fully inserted into the audio device. Check the volume level on your audio device. Verify that the ear adapters are properly seated in your ear canal to create a good seal.
• Poor Sound Quality or Lack of Bass:
  This is often due to an improper seal in the ear canal. Try different sizes of ear adapters to find the best fit. Ensure the earphones are inserted correctly and securely.
• Discomfort:
  If the earphones cause discomfort, try a different size of ear adapter. The earphone should fit snugly but without causing pain.
• Cable Damage:
  The IE60 features a rugged cable designed for durability. However, avoid excessive pulling or sharp bends to prevent internal damage.
