About Ear Tips

If you find that the bass is lacking or the treble is grating, the ear tips may not be properly fitted. In order to make enough of earphone's potential, make sure the ear tips are positioned properly and keep the ear canals sealed. Please try the following instructions for proper fitting.

• Not only the standard M size, but also try different sizes.
• Trying larger size (M, L, LL) might be effective for small ears.
• The size of ear canals might be different from left to right, so try different size ear tips for left and right ear canals.

Please note the following notes when replacing ear tips.
* The size is marked on the inside of the ear tips, so be sure to check the size when replacing the ear tips.

* Check that the ear tip is correctly hanging on the edge of the earphone body.*1

* Check that the aperture of the ear tip is properly aligned with the aperture at the base of the nozzle in the main body of the earphone.*2

* If ear tips other than the dedicated ones are used, they may come off and remain in the ear canal during use. Please be sure to use the dedicated ear tips.
