Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Bose
®
in-ear headphones. Bose
®
in-ear
headphones offer a combination of lifelike audio performance and comfortable fit
not available from most conventional earbuds. Proprietary Bose technologies
provide a level of listening pleasure with performance that's faithful and realistic.
Three sizes of ear tips allow them to rest gently and softly in the outer bowl of the
ear (not your ear canal).
Your headphones include:
•
Small (white), medium (gray), and large (black) ear tips.
Medium tips already attached.
•
Carrying case
•
Optional stability enhancement lanyard
•
Optional clothing clip
Importance of Proper Fit
Unlike some products that need to be pushed into the ear canal to perform as
intended, Bose in-ear headphones are designed to rest comfortably in the bowl
of the ear. Because of this, they may feel different at first from what listeners are
accustomed to. The soft silicone ear tip barely contacts the opening to the ear
canal; it provides just enough contact to secure the headphones in place com-
fortably without forming a tight, isolating seal.
Using your headphones
Bose
®
in-ear headphones are packaged with medium-sized
silicone ear tips installed; small- and large-sized ear tips are
also included in the package. Locate the left (L) and right (R)
markings on the headphones and gently insert the tips into
the bowl of your ear. Do not attempt to wear the headphones
without the ear tips.
The headphones should be pushed into the ear far enough to
establish a secure fit but not so far that they become uncom-
fortable. Some users may find that the small or large sizes
provide a more appropriate fit. It is also possible that some
listeners may prefer different sizes of ear tips for each ear.
Larger sizes may be preferable if users plan to use them
during certain activities such as exercise. One size larger ear
tip may offer a little more contact with the ear.
We encourage each user to experiment with the different ear-
tip sizes until finding the combination that works best for
them.
