Step 1: Charging

Connect the included Micro-USB charging cable to the Micro-USB charging port on the EB1 earphones and to any powered USB port (e.g., computer or USB charger).

2. Open the Bluetooth menu on your device (typically found under Settings > Bluetooth).
3. If necessary, select options like “search for devices”, “add new device”, or “refresh”.
4. Select “MEE audio EB1” from the list of available devices.

Step 3: Selecting Eartips and Earfins

For the most secure fit and optimal sound quality, select the appropriate earfin size that provides a snug fit in your ear. Then, choose the eartips that offer the best sound and comfort for your ears.

Troubleshooting Sound Quality: If your music sounds tinny or lacks bass, try using different eartips to improve the seal and sound profile.

Visual Description: Diagrams illustrate different sizes of earfins and eartips, showing how to select the best fit for individual ears. Examples show earfins labeled 'L' and how eartips attach to the earphone nozzle.

Step 4: Wearing the Earphones

Identifying Left and Right Earpieces: The earphones are marked with 'L' for the left ear and 'R' for the right ear. Ensure you place them in the correct ears.

Wearing the Earphones:

1. Place the cable behind your neck.
2. Insert each earpiece into its corresponding ear.
3. Adjust each earpiece until it fits flush in your ear and the eartip creates a seal in the ear canal.
4. Tighten the sliding cable cinch (adjuster) to secure the cable and ensure a snug, stable fit.

Storage: When not in use, clip the earphones together using the built-in magnets to keep them tidy and prevent tangling.

Visual Description: A series of diagrams show the correct way to wear the earphones: identifying left and right, routing the cable behind the neck, inserting earpieces, adjusting the fit, tightening the cable cinch, and finally, clipping the earphones together with magnets.
