Ear (stick) adapts a half in-ear design to deliver the most comfortable and natural listening experience. The design was determined after hundreds of rounds of ergonomic testing. However, due to the differences in ear shapes, the earbuds may feel too large or small for some customers.
If your earbuds don’t feel comfortable, it is recommended to gently press the earbud into the ear and rotate slightly to find an optimum position.
