Using iBeats
™
on Flights or at High Altitudes
When using iBeats at dierent altitudes, the air pressure within your ears may change,
thereby changing the sound that you hear from the headphones. This is especially true
with the gains and drops in altitude during airplane travel. To help with this, occasionally
break the eartip seal and re-insert your iBeats headphones into your ears. Another helpful
tip is the common exercise of holding your nose and very gently blowing through it,
which can relieve some of the pressure in your ears.
Cleaning the Eartips
Keeping your iBeats eartips clean is essential for safe, hygienic use.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to clean the eartips without rst removing
them from the headphones. Getting the delicate circuitry inside your iBeats headphones
wet may cause permanent damage.
1. Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other.
Carefully remove the eartip from the eartube.
2. Use warm water and mild soap on a damp cloth to remove dirt
and earwax from the eartip. DO NOT use harsh cleaning agents.
3. Rinse and completely dry your eartips before placing them back
on your headphones.
4. Carefully push the eartips back onto the iBeats headphones, making
sure they are on the eartube completely.
Proper Insertion and Removal of Eartips
1. You may wish to lightly moisten your eartips for easier insertion.
2. Using your right hand, grasp the right headphone.
3. With your left hand, pull up and back on your
right ear to straighten your ear canal.
4. Carefully insert your right headphone, rubber
eartip rst, so that it seals completely and
comfortably in your ear. DO NOT insert the
eartip so deeply that your ear canal feels
completely “plugged.”
5. Repeat this procedure for your left ear.
6. When you’ve nished your listening session, remove your in-ear
headphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break
the seal.
Eartip Fit Testing
A good way to gauge whether or not the eartip is sealing properly in your ear canal
is by snapping your ngers right next to your ear. If the seal is proper, your ear will
not feel “plugged,” yet the snapping of your ngers will sound dull and distant.
If you hear your nger snaps distinctly, the seal is probably not adequate. If the
sound of your nger snapping is dull and distant, but your ear feels plugged up,
like you’re on an airplane preparing to land, then you’ve over-inserted the eartip.
