    1. Before use


    How to choose the correct earbuds and arc supporters


    There's a tendency among headset users to just keep using the earbuds and arc supporters that come with the headset at time of purchase. If the earbuds don't fit your ears, you might miss out on the original sound quality or the headset may fall out of your ears, so you should always choose earbuds that fit you.

     


    [A]: Earbuds (WF-SP700N, WI-SP600N）
    [B]: Ear tips（WI-SP500）

    If the earbuds do not fit, or if you feel as though the bass range is lacking, exchange the left and right earbuds for ones that fit your ears. Do not take the edges of the earbud between your fingers and tug on them when removing it.
    NOTE: Remove slowly starting at the base of the earbud.




    Arc Supporter (WF-SP700N, WI-SP600N)

    The sports headsets come with an M sized arc supporter upon purchase. If it feels too small, exchange it for an L size.

     



    Make sure that you do not tug on the end of the arc supporter when removing it from the headset.
    NOTE: Remove slowly starting at the base of the arc supporter.
