• Do NOT submerge the earbuds.

ear canal and the stability band rests against your ear ridge.
NOTE: You may need to rotate the earbud back and forth for the eartip to create a
comfortable seal. However, rotating it too far back or forward may impact
audio and microphone sound quality.

CHECK YOUR FIT
For the best fit, audio performance, and noise cancellation, use a mirror to make sure
you’re using the correct size eartips and stability bands. You may need to try a
dierent size eartip or stability band for each ear.
TIP: You can also check your fit using the Earbud Seal Test in the Bose Music app. You
can access this option from the Seings menu.

FIT WHAT TO CHECK
Proper fit

Too much pressure The eartip feels uncomfortable and
squished in your ear canal.

TRY ANOTHER SIZE
Wear the earbuds for an extended period of time. If the earbuds don’t feel
comfortable or secure, or noise cancellation or sound quality isn’t as expected, try
another size eartip or stability band.
You may need to try all three eartip or band sizes or use a dierent size eartip or band
for each ear.
Eartips
Three sizes of eartips are included with the earbuds: small, medium, and large.
Medium eartips come aached to the earbuds. If they feel too small, try large eartips.
If they feel too big, try small eartips.
Stability bands
The stability bands are marked with size 1(small), 2(medium), or 3(large) and an R
(right) or L(left).
