Eartip Insertion

Flanged eartip insertion

  • For best results, moisten the flanged eartip before insertion.
  • Carefully insert one earphone at a time while pulling up and out on the back of the ear.
  • The earphone should seal deeply and comfortably in the ear canal.
Foam eartip insertion
  • Use a foam eartip if a good seal cannot be obtained with a flanged eartip.
  • Compress the foam at the end of the earphone by rolling it between your thumb and forefinger before inserting it. Hold the eartip in place for about 5 seconds while the foam expands to create a tight seal in the ear canal.

Eartip Removal

Remove earphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal. Do not pull on the cords to remove earphones.

Proper Care

Cleaning the flanged eartips

  1. Carefully remove the eartip from the earphone.
  2. Use water and mild soap to remove dirt and earwax.
  3. Rinse and completely dry the eartip.
  4. With a slight twisting motion, push the eartip on the stem until it fits securely.
Foam eartips
  • Replace disposable foam eartips regularly.

Earphone Filters

6i Isolator Earphones have special filters that smooth the frequency response and prevent earwax from entering the earphones. These filters are located at the end of the earphone and are visible when the eartip is removed. If the filters become clogged they should be replaced. A dirty filter will reduce earphone output. The frequency with which the filters need to be changed will vary widely among users. If one or both earphones stop working, the volume decreases, or the sound quality declines, the filters should be changed. Note: Once removed, the filters are not reusable.

Instructions for removing and replacing filters are included with the earphones. For additional information see the 6i Isolator web pages.
