A proper fit is all about the size of the ear gels and aligning them properly.
Out of the box, the Klipsch earphones are fitted with our medium-sized ear
gels. While our research shows that almost 60% of users will prefer the
single-flange, medium-sized gels, some earphone users will fall outside
that norm. You can make substitutions later if the fit isn’t perfect.
1. Ensure that the indicator lines in the ear gel and earphone nozzle line up.
Important:
Securely press the ear gel onto the earphone nozzle. The
ear gel locks into place over the nozzle and should seat firmly against the
nozzle's edge.
2. The left earphone is inscribed with an “L” and the right earphone is
inscribed with an “R”.
3. Focus on sliding the oval ear gel into your ear to create a seal in your ear
canal. Don't worry about forming the Flex Wire around your ear just yet.
4. Once you have created a seal, hold the earphone in place and use your
other hand to form the Flex Wire around your ear for a custom fit.
5. Now that you have a perfect seal you should hear very muffled ambient
(outside) noise and your own voice should sound louder to you. If you
do not experience this or you experience discomfort try one of the other
ear gels included in your package and repeat steps 1 through 4.
Using the Klipsch Earphones
Your new Klipsch Earphone package contains five sets of our patent-pending Contour ear gels. Our
research has indicated that almost 60% of users will prefer the single-flange, medium-sized gel,
so that set is affixed to the earphones in the box. There are three sizes of single flange ear gels
(small, medium, and large) and two sizes of double flange ear gels (small and large).
Beyond fitting the earphone in your ear, the ear gel channels sound and forms a seal in your ear
canal that allows the earphone to deliver a full range of audio frequencies. The flanges affect not
only fit and comfort, but sound quality as well.
Single Flange Ear Gels
The single flange ear gels are general purpose gels. Most people will probably
prefer these for everyday use. For example, if you are going to ride a bicycle you
should choose a single flange ear gel and wear it very loose in the ear so that
you do not block ambient noise, such as other cyclists, cars, or other hazards.
