Importance of proper fit

For optimum audio performance, it is important to choose the correct size  StayHear tip. Select the size that gives you the best comfort and fit in each ear. You may need to try all three sizes to determine the best fit. 

Note:  To test the fit, try speaking aloud. Your voice should sound muffled in both ears. If not, select another tip size. 
Each tip is marked with either an L or an R. Be sure to attach the left tip (L) to the left earpiece and the right tip (R) to the right earpiece. 

Fitting the headphones to your ear

The  StayHear tip allows the earpiece to rest comfortably in the bowl of your ear. The wing part of the tip fits just under your ear ridge. 

To determine if the tip is the right size:

1. Insert the headphone into the ear so the tip gently rests in the opening of the ear canal.
2. Tilt the headphone back and press the tip wing under the ear ridge until it is secure.

The tips should fit comfortably yet securely in the bowl of the ear.

Changing the eartips

1. Gently peel the edges of the attached tip away from the earpiece, using care not to tear the tip.
   Caution: To prevent damage, do not pull on the StayHear tip wing.
2. Position the opening of the new tip over the nozzle and the small slot over the nozzle hook.
3. Ease the base of the tip down around the base of the earpiece until the tip feels secured.

Adjusting for comfort and stability

You can adjust your headphones to provide additional comfort and stability. You can customize how you wear your headphones using the clothing clip.

• Using the clothing clip 
  Use the clothing clip to fasten the cable to your clothing, for convenience, stability, and to help manage the cable. This can be helpful during high-movement activities or when using the headphones in a single earpiece configuration.
• Using a single earpiece
  The Bose SoundSport in-ear headphones can be used with only the right (R) earpiece in your ear. This allows you to take calls and still hear surrounding sounds.

 Bose SoundSport In-Ear Headphones Cleaning

Your headphones may require periodic cleaning:

• Eartips: Remove the eartips from the headphones. Wash them with a mild detergent and water. Make sure you thoroughly rinse and dry them before putting them back on the headphones.
• Headphone nozzles: Clean only with a dry, soft cotton swab or equivalent. Never insert any cleaning tool into the nozzle.
