Importance of proper ﬁt

When you wear the earbuds properly, they provide the comfort and clarity you

expect from Bose.

Fitting the headphones to your ear

The headphone earpiece has a soft StayHear® tip attached, allowing it to rest

comfortably in the bowl of your ear. The wing part of the tip ts just under your ear

ridge.

Note: Each tip is marked with a either an L or an R to indicate

which earpiece it is for. Be sure to attach the left StayHear®tip to

the left earpiece and the right StayHear®tip to the right earpiece.

To determine if the tip is the right size:

1. Insert the earpiece into the canal just enough for the headphone to rest lightly

against your ear.

2. Tilt the headphone back and press the tip wing under the ear ridge until it is

secure.

The tips should t comfortably yet securely in the bowl of the ear.

Changing eartips

Select the type and size of eartip that provides you with the best comfort and t.

1. Gently peel the edges of the attached tip away from the earpiece, using care

not to tear the tip.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not pull on the StayHear®tip wing.

2. Position the opening of the new tip over the nozzle and the small slot over the

nozzle hook.

Note: Each tip is marked with a either an L or an R to indicate which earpiece it is for.

Be sure to attach the left StayHear®tip to the left earpiece and the right StayHear®tip

to the right earpiece.

3. Ease the base of the tip down around the base of the earpiece until the tip

feels secured.

Adjusting for comfort and stability

There are several ways you can adjust your earbuds to provide additional comfort

and stability. Using the adjustment slider and clothing clip you can customize how

you wear your earbuds.

Using the adjustment slider

Move the adjustment slider up or down to reduce or increase

the amount of loose cord between the left and right earpiece.

Finding the right position for the slider can help optimize the

placement of the Answer/End button and integrated micro-

phone.

Using the clothing clip

Use the clothing clip to fasten the

cable to your clothing, for conve-

nience, stability, and to help

manage the cable. This can be

helpful during high-movement

activities or when using the ear-

buds in a single earpiece congura-

tion.
