3.2 Selecting and Installing Ear Tips
Proper ear tip selection is crucial for sound quality and comfort. Experiment with the included silicone ear tips to find the best fit for your ears.
- Choose ear tips that create a good seal in your ear canal. A good seal enhances bass response and passive noise isolation.
- Gently remove the pre-installed ear tips by pulling them off.
- Push the desired ear tips onto the nozzle of the earpiece until they are firmly attached.
3.3 Wearing the Earphones
The KZ PR1 earphones are designed for an ear-around wear style for comfort and stability.
- Insert the earpieces into your ear canals, tilting them at approximately a 45° angle.
- Guide the cable over the top of your ear, wrapping it around the back of your auricle (outer ear) for a secure fit. The design allows for a 270° fit to the pinna.
- Adjust the earpieces and cable until they feel comfortable and stable.
