INSERTING THE EARPHONES
The quality of both the frequency response and the sound isolation depend on how well the
earphone sleeve seals the ear canal.
If the earphone seems to be lacking in low frequency
response, try one of the other sleeve options to obtain a better seal.
2. E2 and E3: wrap the earphone cord over the top and down the back of the ear.
E5: wrap the formfitting wire over the top and down the back of the ear.
3. Use the adjustment tube to secure the cables comfortably.
1. Insert the earphones using the following guidelines:
•
Note the difference between the right and left earphones:
E2: earphone all one color = left ear
bicolored earphone = right ear
E3: earphone with blue dot and “L” = left ear
earphone with red dot and “R” = right ear
E5: earphone with blue dot = left ear
earphone with red dot = right ear
When inserting the earphones, pull the ear up-
ward and outward to straighten out the ear ca-
nal, as illustrated.
•
Flex sleeves - Try the different sizes to deter-
mine the best fit for comfort and isolation.
•
Foam sleeves - Compress the foam sleeve at
the end of the earphone by rolling it between
your thumb and forefinger. Insert the ear-
phone into your ear and hold it in place for
about 10 seconds while the foam expands and
creates a tight seal. The E2 comes with three
sizes of foam sleeves: try the different sizes to
determine the most comfortable fit.
