Detachable Cable
You may need to detach the cable from the earphones to attach optional components or to
replace the cable if it becomes damaged. To prevent accidental separation, the connector
has a snug fit. Take special care to prevent damage to the earphone and connector.
•
Do not use pliers or other tools.
•
Grasp the connector and the earphone as close as possible to where they join.
•
Pull straight apart—do not twist. Cable is a snap fit, not threaded.
•
Do not pull on the cable or put any pressure on the earphone nozzle.
•
Listen for a click when connecting.
•
When reattaching the cable, match the “L” and “R” markings. For clear cables and
earphones, match the color dots (Red = Right, Blue = Left).
Audible click when
properly seated
Note: If you pull at an angle, the connector will not detach.

Wearing the Earphones
The following are some suggested ways of wearing the earphones.
Tighten the cable and take up
slack by raising the cable cinch.
Wearing the cable over the ear
and securing it behind the head
can help keep the earphones in
place during physical activity
Inserting the Earphones
Insert the earphones so they form
a tight seal. The fit of the earphone
can greatly affect sound quality.
Important:
If there seems to
be a lack of low frequency
response (bass), this means
that the earphone sleeve
is not forming a tight seal.
Gently push the earphone
deeper into the ear canal or
try a different sleeve.
Warning:
Do not push the earphone sleeve beyond the ear canal opening.
Changing Sleeves
Twist and pull to remove the sleeve from the nozzle.
Slide on a new sleeve so that it completely covers
the barb and the nozzle.
Caution: If the barb or any of the nozzle is exposed, the sleeve is not properly installed.
Replace sleeves if they do not tightly grip the nozzle.
To ensure proper fit and performance, use only sleeves supplied by Shure (unless us-
ing custom molded sleeves).
Removing the Earphones
Grasp the body of earphone and gently twist to remove.
Note:
Do not pull on cable to remove earphone.
Choosing a Sleeve
Select an earphone sleeve that provides the best fit and sound isolation. It
should be easy to insert, fit comfortably, and easy to remove.
Soft Flex Sleeves: In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from pli-
able rubber.
Soft Foam Sleeves: Compress the foam sleeve between your fingers
and insert into the ear canal. Hold in place for about ten seconds while
the foam expands.
Triple-Flange Sleeves: If desired, use scissors to trim the stem
on the sleeve.
