4. Setup Guide

4.1 How to Wear

The S1 headphones are designed to clip onto your swimming goggle straps, allowing the bone conduction speakers to rest on your temple bones for optimal sound clarity without covering your ears.

1. Identify the left (L) and right (R) sides of the headphones.
2. Slide your swimming goggle straps through the brackets on the back of each speaker.
3. Adjust the goggles and headphones so the bone conduction speakers rest firmly on your temple bones, not over your ears.
