[. . . ] Most users find that the single-flange silicone ear tips provide a good fit for their ears and are the easiest to use. However, some customers prefer the foam tips for the best seal and more secure fit (see section on Suggestions for Using Ear Tips). Your M-Audio earphones come with medium single-flange silicone ear tips already attached. Included with your earphones are the following additional ear tips: Attaching the Ear Tips The ear tips can be attached or removed by using a gentle grasping and twisting motion. The ear tip should fit securely over the ear conductor and--once the ear tip is in place--the ear conductor should not be exposed. Care and Cleaning of Flanged Silicone Ear Tips The silicone ear tips are reusable and should be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe after each use. They should also be removed and cleaned regularly with mild soap and water. The ear tip should be completely dry before you place it on the ear conductor. Care of Foam Ear Tips The foam ear tips are designed for limited use and should be discarded when they appear discolored.

In addition, our optional 1/4 inch adapter (included with the IE-20 XB, IE-30, and IE-40 earphones) will allow you to connect to a variety of other consumer electronics equipment. 1 Single-flange silicone ear tips (2 small and 2 large) Double-flange silicone ear tips Disposable foam ear tips 2 3 8 8 | IE Professional Reference Earphones | User Guide Earphone Insertion "Rock `N' Roll" It is important to get a good ear fit to maximize comfort and optimize the listening experience.
