CLEANING

• Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the product to ensure that it will last for a long time. Do not use alcohol, paint thinners or other solvents for cleaning purposes.
• To clean, wipe with a dry cloth.
• Natural oils from the skin are particularly likely to build up in the areas where the ear tips attach to the headphones (see figure at right). If these areas are not cleaned, the ear tips can become detached. Clean them regularly. Do not touch the areas where sound is produced as they are delicate. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Wipe away any perspiration or dirt from the cable with a dry cloth immediately after use. Failure to clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in malfunction.
• Wipe the cable’s USB plug with a dry cloth if dirty.
• Clean the ear tips by removing them from the headphones and manually cleaning them with a diluted mild detergent. After cleaning, dry before using again.

EARTIPS

EARTIP SIZE

• The product includes silicone ear tips in 4 sizes (XS, S, M, and L). At the time of purchase, the M-size silicone ear tips are attached.
• To ensure the best sound quality, select the ear tip size that is best suited for you, and adjust the ear tips inside your ears for a snug fit. It may be difficult to hear bass sounds if the ear tips do not fit snugly in your ears.

Replacing the ear tips

Remove the old ear tip and attach the new ear tip by pushing it onto the headphone at an angle (see figure). Push firmly on the ear tip so that the inside of the ear tip expands, and push the ear tip onto the post as far as it will go.

• The ear tips are designed to be difficult to remove, therefore the fit is very tight when attaching them.
  
• Periodically remove and clean the ear tips as they become dirty easily. Using dirty ear tips may cause the headphones themselves to become dirty, resulting in deteriorated sound quality.
• Eartips are consumable parts that degrade through storage and use. If the ear tips are loose and easily removed or if they appear to have degraded, purchase replacements.
• When reattaching ear tips that were previously removed, be sure to check that they are securely attached. Injury or illness may occur if the ear tips become detached and are left inside the ear.
