Installing the earbuds

If the earbuds do not fit your ears correctly, the noise canceling effect will not be optimal. To optimize noise canceling and to enjoy better sound quality, change the earbuds to another size, or adjust the earbud position to fit your ears comfortably and snugly.
The M size earbuds are attached to the headphones before shipment. If you feel the M size earbuds do not suit your ears, replace them with the S or L size earbuds (supplied). Confirm the size of the earbuds by checking the color inside.
When you change the earbuds, turn to install them firmly on the headphones to prevent the earbud from detaching and remaining in your ear.
SS size earbuds that are smaller than S size ones are available in some countries/regions.
