Welcome!

Congratulations on your purchase of the ARE05 Noise-Isolating

Earphones. These earphones give you detailed, accurate sound

across the full frequency range while isolating outside noise

naturally with a custom-fitting in-ear design.

What’s in the package?

Before you get started with these earphones, take a moment to get

familiar with the package contents.
• Noise-isolating earphones
• 3 silicone earbud sleeves (Small, Medium and Large)

• Carrying case
• User’s guide

Inserting your earphones

Individual AR earphones are designed

specifically for either the left or right side.

Make sure you find the left (L) or right (R)

marking on the inside of each earphone so

you know which side is which.

Make sure the sleeves cover the end of the

earphone stems.

Finally, gently insert your earphones in each ear, just far enough that

they fit securely—do not push beyond the ear canal opening!
Note: Once you’ve put on your earphones, use the cord adjuster to increase

or decrease the amount of slack in the cord.
These earphones come with the medium sized silicone sleeves

installed. If these don’t fit the way you want them to, try a different

size or material—the next section tells you how to change sleeves.

Choosing and changing sleeves

Experiment with the different sizes and materials in this package to

find the right sleeves for you. Changing the sleeves is easy.

1. To remove the sleeve on the

earphone, pull gently on one sides

of the sleeve at the base of the stem

until the sleeve comes off.

2. Position the replacement sleeve at

a slight downward angle over the

earphone stem. Gently push the

sleeve up and onto the stem until it

fits securely in place.

3. Push the end of the sleeve gently to make sure it covers the

stem completely.

Which material is right for you?
Foam sleeves eventually adjust to the contours of your ear,

giving you the tightest fit and most noise isolation.
Silicone sleeves are easier to clean and generally more

comfortable for activities like exercise.

Connecting to your audio device

1. Turn the volume of your audio device all the way down.
2. Plug the earphone mini-plug into the headphone jack on

your audio device.

3. Put on your earphones.
4. Turn up the audio device volume slowly.

Listen safely!

Enjoy your earphones at a safe volume. Avoid or limit the amount

of time you listen at higher volumes—permanent hearing loss

may occur if the earphones are used at too high a volume. If you

experience a ringing in your ears, or your own voice and other

sounds seem muffled, stop using the earphones and consult a

hearing professional.
Important: Do not use these earphones when operating a motor vehicle or

in any environment where the inability to hear outside sounds may present

a danger to you or to others. Sounds that you usually rely on as reminders

or warnings may seem unfamiliar when using earphones. If you plan to use

earphones around sounds like these, make sure you know how to recognize

the sounds with your earphones on.
