Importance of proper fit
When you wear the headphones properly, they provide the comfort and clarity you
expect from Bose.
Fitting the headphones to your ear
®
The headphone earpiece has a soft StayHear tip attached, allowing it to rest com-
fortably in the bowl of your ear. The wing part of the tip fits just under your
ear ridge.
®
Note: Each StayHear tip is marked with an L (Left) or an R (Right) to indicate
which earpiece it is designed to fit. Be sure to attach the Left tip to the Left
earpiece and the Right tip to the Right earpiece.
To determine if the tip is the right size:
1. Insert the earpiece into the canal just enough for the headphone to rest lightly
against your ear.
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.

Using the headphones
Changing the ear tips
Select the type and size of eartip that provides you with the best comfort and fit.
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.
Note: Each tip is marked with a either an L or an R to indicate which earpiece
®
it is for. Be sure to attach the left StayHear tip to the left earpiece and
®
the right StayHear tip to the right earpiece.
3. Ease the base of the tip down around the base of the earpiece until the tip
feels secured.
Attaching the extension cable
Attach the extension cable to create extra cable length between the headphones
and your mobile device.
1. Connect the female end of the extension cable to the headphone cable.
2. Connect the other end of the extension cable to the standard 3.5 mm
headphone input on your device.

Using the headphones
Adjusting for comfort and stability
There are several ways you can adjust your headphones to provide additional
comfort and stability. You can customize how you wear your headphones using the
adjustment slider and 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.
