Wearing the Earphones
1. Carefully insert the earphone into the ear like an earplug, so that a
tight seal is formed.
Important: If there is a lack of low frequency response (bass), the
earphone sleeve may not be forming a proper seal. Gently push the
earphone deeper into the ear canal or try using a a different sleeve.
Warning: Do not push the earphone sleeve beyond the ear canal
opening.
2. Wear earphone cables over the back of the ear to keep them in
place during physical activity. Guide the cable down either the
front or back of the body, and use the cable cinch to tighten up the
remaining slack.
The fit of the earphone can greatly affect sound quality.
