Wearing and Adjusting the B550-XT
To get the best performance from our noise-
canceling technology, position the microphone near
the corner of your mouth . Positioning is important;
small adjustments in microphone placement can
improve performance .
1 . Place the headset on your head .
2 . Position the speaker directly on your ear . You can
slide the headband in or out of the side support to
find the best fit for stability and comfort .
3 . Position the microphone about one finger’s width
away from your face at the corner of your mouth .
The boom will rotate so you can position the
microphone correctly with the speaker on either ear .
