3.3 Wearing the Monitors
For a secure and comfortable fit, the IE 100 PRO monitors are designed to be worn with the cable routed over the ear. Gently insert the earpiece into your ear canal, then loop the cable over the top of your ear. Adjust the cable's shape around your ear for a snug fit. This over-ear design helps keep the monitors in place during active use and reduces cable noise.
