ADJUSTING FOR COMFORT
Choosing the correct StayHear®+ tip
For optimal audio performance, it is important to choose the correct size
StayHear+ tip. Select the size that gives you the best comfort and fit in each ear. To
determine the best fit, you may need to try all three sizes. You may need a dierent size
for each ear.
Note: Make sure your tips fit properly to avoid the earbuds whistling.
Each tip and earbud is marked with either an L or an R. Be sure to attach the left tip to
the left earbud and the right tip to the right earbud.
Fitting the earbuds to your ear
The tip allows the earbud to rest comfortably and securely in your ear. The tip wing fits
just under your ear ridge.
1. Insert the earbud so the tip gently rests in the opening of the ear canal.
2. Tilt the earbud back and tuck the tip wing under the ear ridge until it is secure.
16
ADJUSTING FOR COMFORT
Changing the StayHear®+ tips
1. Holding the earbud by the stem, gently grasp the attached StayHear+ tip and peel
it away from the earbud.
CAUTION: To prevent tearing, grasp the tip by its base. Do not pull on the tip wing.
2. Align the opening of the new tip with the earbud nozzle and rotate the tip onto the
nozzle. Press the base of the tip until it clicks securely into place.
17
WORLD VOLUME
World Volume uses adjustable noise cancelling to control the loudness of live voices,
television, movies and other environmental sounds. You can adjust World Volume so it is
at the right level for your current activity.
How World Volume works
• As you increase World Volume, quiet sounds in the environment are amplified more
than loud sounds so that all sounds can be heard comfortably.
• As you decrease World Volume, sounds in the environment are reduced, enabling you
to focus on your activity, for example, listening to music or podcasts, reading or using
your mobile device.
Getting used to new sounds
Bose Hearphones™ may require you getting used to new, higher-frequency sounds and
your voice sounding dierent. When first powering on your headphones, World Volume
is set so that sounds are amplified at a slightly higher level than if you were not using
the headphones.
In some cases, you may experience the perception that a loud environment is quiet and
your voice is loud, which may cause you to lower your voice. Practice listening to new
sounds and talking on your own or with a trusted partner in a familiar environment,
before you use your headphones for conversation.
Tip: If you want to use just one earbud while getting used to new sounds, you can
mute the other earbud with the Bose Hear app (see page 9).
18
DIRECTIVITY
Adjusting sound direction
You can adjust your headphones to focus on sounds coming from dierent areas in your
environment.
• Focused: Focus on a conversation with someone in a noisy setting.
• Front: Concentrate on a conversation with people in front of you and reduce noise
from behind.
• Everywhere: Hear sounds from all directions, for example, crossing the street,
watching television and listening to music.
To focus on sounds coming from a particular area, press the World Volume buttons
and simultaneously.
