13. FAQ’s

14. Contact Us

The sound quality cuts in / out from my headphones, how can I fix or 
replace them?

Make sure that the audio jack inside the Shuffle Case is plugged in all
the way for a complete connection. If problem still continues please 
contact H2O Audio Customer Support.

1.

The sound quality seems muffled, what can I do to fix this problem?

1. Purchase some wax earplugs (they cost about $0.99) from your 
    local drug store. 
2. Rip a piece of the wax and roll it into a cylinder long enough to go 
    around the circumference of the largest barb of the earplug.
3. Wrap the cylinder of wax around the largest barb of the earplug.  
    This creates a custom mold to you ear and will help prevent 
    water from entering the ear and muffling the sound. 
  

2.

The Neckwrap is uncomfortable and moves around when swimming, 
what can I do?

We recommended removing the Neckwrap and using the Goggle Clips.
Please refer to Section 10.

11. Fitting the Earplugs

12. Important Safety Information

CAUTION:

 Using earplugs limits your ability to hear noises around you, 

regardless of listening volume. Use with extreme caution.   

CAUTION:

 Exercise caution and extreme safety when wearing headphones 

while surfing, wakeboarding, swimming, walking, jogging, or other 
activities.             

CAUTION:

 Never wear headphones while operating any motorized 

vehicle, bicycle, or other machinery. It may create a hazard and is illegal in 
many areas.            

NOTE: Make sure the earplugs are securely in place before proceeding with use.

Align earplug with the speaker.    

1.

Invert the wide opening of the earplug.     

2.

Place the inverted earplug directly against the speaker shield.   

3.

Wrap the earplug around the speaker until it holds securely.

4.

Installing the Earplugs:

The earplugs are designed to fit comfortably in most ears. However you may have to 
work the ear plugs back and forth in the ear until a good seal is created. You will feel 
some suction don't worry this is normal. 

The H2O Audio iSH2 Headset includes removable 

Aquatic Silencer Earplugs

 

designed to keep water from freely flowing in and out of the ear canal during use. For 
the best performance, the earplug needs to seal completely with the walls of the inner 
ear. These earplugs are very pliable, and can fit in most people’s ears.  Typically rotating 
the speaker so it plays into the ear, will help to clarify sound during watersports.
