USE
- Make sure that there is no hair under the sealing rings. Remove earrings that prevent the sealing rings from sealing tightly.
- Place the headband over your head and adjust the cups so that they cover your ears.
- Move the cups up or down in the headband to adjust them, so that they fit firmly and comfortably and seal around the ears.
- Check the fit by talking loudly. Your voice should sound muffled. Ambient noise should sound weaker than without the ear defenders.
- Check that the cups’ sealing rings sit firmly against your head and around your ears.
NOTE: Pull hair away from your ears and use glasses with thin frames to minimize the admission of noise. Never attempt to change the shape of the headband.
