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.

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 congura-
tion.
