3.2. Selecting and Fitting Eartips
For optimal sound quality and a secure fit, choose the eartips that best seal your ear canal. Three sizes (S, M, L) are included.
- Try each size to find the most comfortable and secure fit. A good seal will enhance bass performance and noise isolation.
- Gently insert the earbud into your ear canal, then rotate it slightly to ensure the ear hook sits comfortably and securely over your ear.
