2.1 Selecting headphone tips

The performance of your C5 headphones will only be realised by using the ear tips that most closely match the size of your ear canals. The headphones are supplied with extra small, small (pre-fitted), medium and large ear tips. Ear tips are removed by gently pulling them away from the headphone body and fitted simply by pushing them in to place. Experiment with the ear tips to find the tightest seal in your ear canals. Diagram 2 illustrates removal and fitting of ear tips.

2.2 Adjusting the cable loops

Headphone fit can be adjusted by lengthening or shortening the Secure Loop so that it presses against the inner part of the ear to help retain the headphone in place. This is illustrated in Diagram 3.

2.3 Removing the cable loops

If desired, your C5 headphones can be used without the Secure Loop. To remove the loops, slide the stopper down the cable, opening up the end of the sleeve. Then pass the cable through the circular slot on the side of the headphone until the thinner section of cable enables its release. Reverse this procedure to re-establish the loops. Diagram 4 illustrates removal and re-establishment of the Secure Loop design cable loops.
