2. Selecting and Fitting Ear Tips
Proper ear tip selection is crucial for optimal sound quality, noise reduction, and comfort. The package includes multiple sizes and types (silicone and foam) of ear tips.
- Experiment with different ear tip sizes and materials to find the best fit for your ears.
- For foam tips, compress the foam before inserting the earbud into your ear, then hold it in place until the foam expands to create a seal.
- A good seal will provide the best passive noise isolation and audio performance.
