GREAT SOUND PERFORMANCE IS IN
SELECTING THE RIGHT SIZE EARTIP

WE LOVE GREAT SOUND. MAKE SURE YOU HEAR IT.

Because everyone’s ears are different, be sure to try 
all sizes of eartips. Only with the right size eartips 
will you enjoy a snug fit & premium sound quality.

BACK IT UP WITH SECURE FIT EAR CUSHIONS.

The earbuds may slip out of your ear a little. You will
lose bass when this happens so use the secure fit 
ear cushions to hold them in place for best sound.
