2. Selecting and Installing Ear Tips and Ear Hooks

Proper fit is crucial for both sound quality and effective noise reduction. Experiment with the included ear tips and ear hooks to find the most comfortable and secure fit.

• Ear Tips: Choose from silicone or foam tips. Foam tips generally offer superior noise isolation. Gently compress foam tips before inserting them into your ear canal for a better seal.
• Ear Hooks: Attach the ear hooks to the earbuds for added stability, especially during physical activity. Select the size that best fits your ear's contours.

3. Pairing with Your Device

The earbuds use Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless connection.

1. Open the charging case. The earbuds will automatically enter pairing mode, indicated by a flashing LED on the earbuds.
2. On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), go to the Bluetooth settings.
3. Select "Elgin Rebel" from the list of available devices.
4. Once connected, the LED on the earbuds will stop flashing.

The earbuds have a wireless range of up to 50 feet.

Maintenance

2. Storage

When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them and keep them charged.

3. Water and Dust Resistance (IP65)

The Elgin Rebel earbuds are rated IP65, meaning they are protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes them suitable for use in environments with dust, sweat, and light rain.
