Tip
- For optimal results, adjust the straps starting at the bottom strap and work upwards.
- When fully fitted, ensure the top strap is not overtightened and vertically aligned with the top of the ears; the middle strap should sit across the back of the head horizontally aligned with the top of the ears.
