2. Setup and Fit
Choosing the Right Eartips:
The IDE11 Q2 Pro earplugs come with 7 pairs of eartips in various sizes (XS, S, M, L) and styles (single and double flange) to ensure a comfortable and effective seal. Proper fit is crucial for optimal noise reduction.
- Examine Eartips: Review the different sizes and styles provided.
- Initial Selection: Start with a medium-sized eartip (M) or the size that feels most natural for your ear canal.
- Test Fit: Gently insert the earplug into your ear. It should feel snug but not cause discomfort.
- Check Seal: A good fit will create a noticeable reduction in ambient noise. If the earplug feels loose, falls out easily, or noise reduction is minimal, try a larger size. If it causes pressure or pain, try a smaller size.
- Experiment: Try different sizes and styles (single vs. double flange) until you find the most comfortable and effective fit for both ears.

Inserting the Earplugs:
- Clean Hands: Ensure your hands are clean before handling the earplugs.
- Grasp Earplug: Hold the earplug by its outer body.
- Prepare Ear: Gently pull your earlobe upwards and outwards to straighten the ear canal.
- Insert: Carefully insert the earplug into your ear canal with a slight twisting motion until it feels secure and comfortable. Do not force it.
- Adjust: Ensure the earplug sits flush with your ear, providing a good seal without protruding excessively.
Removing the Earplugs:
To remove, gently twist the earplug and pull it outwards slowly. Avoid sudden or forceful removal to prevent discomfort or potential ear canal irritation.

5. Troubleshooting
Reduced Noise Cancellation or Poor Fit:
- Check Eartip Size: Ensure you are using the correct eartip size for your ear canal. If the earplugs feel loose or ineffective, try a larger size. If they cause discomfort or pain, try a smaller size.
- Proper Insertion: Re-insert the earplugs following the instructions in Section 2, ensuring a snug and secure seal.
- Cleanliness: Dirt or earwax buildup on the eartips can affect the seal. Clean the earplugs as described in Section 4.
Discomfort During Use:
- Eartip Size: If you experience pressure or pain, the eartips might be too large. Try a smaller size.
- Insertion Depth: Ensure the earplugs are not inserted too deeply. They should sit comfortably without pressing against sensitive parts of your ear.
