If the earbuds do not fit your ears 

correctly, low-bass sound may not be 

heard. To enjoy better sound quality, 

change the earbuds to another size, or 

adjust the earbuds position to sit on 

your ears comfortably and fit your ears 

snugly.

If the earbuds do not fit your ears, try 

another size. When you change the 

earbuds, install them firmly on the 

headset to prevent the earbud from 

detaching and remaining in your ear.

distinguished by a line pattern  

(see fig.

Precautions

  Please keep your headset clean at all 

times especially inside the rubber 

earbud. (see fig. 

If any dust or ear wax inside the 

earbud, you may experience some 

listening difficulties.

  Listening with headset at high 

volume may affect your hearing. For 

traffic safety, do not use while 

driving or cycling.

  The earbuds may deteriorate due to 

long-term storage or use.

  Install the earbuds firmly onto the 

headset. If an earbud accidentally 

detaches and is left in your ear, it 

may cause injury.

Note on static electricity 

In particularly dry air conditions, mild 

tingling may be felt on your ears. This 

is a result of static electricity 

accumulated in the body, and not a 

malfunction of the headset.

The effect can be minimized by 

wearing clothes made from natural 

materials.

Optional replacement earbuds can 

be ordered from your nearest Sony 

dealer.
