- Gently pull back and up on your ear to open the canal.

*It is recommended to replace eartips every 3 months for hygiene.
Orcas Clip
An included clip helps manage excess wire slack, preventing it from being annoying during activities like running. The wire can be fed through two sections of the clip. An open side is available if you prefer not to shorten the wire.
To shorten the wire, feed it through one of the closed openings on the clip. For a more secure fit and to prevent jostling, feed the wire through the other opening.
