[. . . ] If you do, do not fully insert the earphones into your ear and listen at a lower volume so you can hear ambient noise. A decibel is a unit of measure of sound, and decibels increase exponentially as sound gets louder. For example, conversational speech is typically around 60dB, and a rock concert in a stadium is often about 110dB. We strongly suggest shorter durations of exposure to loud sounds. [. . . ] Our research has indicated that almost 60% of users will prefer the single-flange, medium-sized gel, so that set is affixed to the earphones in the box. There are three sizes of single flange ear gels (small, medium, and large) and two sizes of double flange ear gels (small and large). Beyond fitting the earphone in your ear, the ear gel channels sound and forms a seal in your ear canal that allows the earphone to deliver a full range of audio frequencies. The flanges affect not only fit and comfort, but sound quality as well. Single Flange Ear Gels The single flange ear gels are general purpose gels. Most people will probably prefer these for everyday use. For example, if you are going to ride a bicycle you should choose a single flange ear gel and wear it very loose in the ear so that you do not block ambient noise, such as other cyclists, cars, or other hazards. Double Flange Ear Gels The double flange ear gels can assist those with harder to fit ears because of their shape. They can also offer a tighter seal (more isolation) for even better acoustic quality, and are more secure in the ear, and may be better suited to physical activity (other than the kind that occurs in traffic). For example, you might choose double flange ear gels if you are a passenger on an airplane and want to block out as much ambient noise as possible. With your thumb and index finger, squeeze the ear gel and pull it off the ear nozzle with a slight twisting action. There is an indicator line on the fitting inside the gel which lines up with an indicator line on the earphone's ear nozzle. Press the ear gel onto the earphone nozzle. The gel locks into place over the nozzle, but still rotates so you can further customize the fit to your ears. Using the steps in the last section, take them for a test listen. Repeat the whole process until you find the gels that fit best. The ear gels and nozzle must be kept clean to prevent wax buildup which will have an adverse effect on your listening experience. Simply clean the surface of the ear gels with an alcohol wipe and use the included cleaning tool to remove wax from the ear gels and nozzle. The most likely cause will be something related to your source device. The Klipsch products offer a far higher quality of sound than most people expect from earphones, and you might not always realize that you are listening too loud. Refer to the "Safety" section in the front of this manual to learn more. Replacement gels can be purchased from our web site at www.
