9. Fitting the Earplugs
The H2O Audio Underwater Headphones include removable earplugs designed to keep water from freely flowing in and out of the ear canal during use. For the best performance, the earplug needs to complete a seal with the walls of the inner ear. These earplugs are very pliable, and can fit in most people’s ears. Typically rotating the speaker so it plays into the ear, will help to clarify sound during watersports.
