Sport Ear Buds with Detachable Ear Hooks and Modular Cord System
Using Your New Balance Sport Ear Buds Your ear buds are assembled into the ear hooks at the time of purchase. You may use the ear buds together with the hooks for a more secure fit while performing strenuous exercise, or detach the ear buds from the hooks when the hooks are not required.
Your ear buds are also supplied with two additional sets of "NB" decorative caps in different colors so that you can customize the appearance of your ear buds to your own personal taste.
The earpieces are marked "L" and "R". [. . . ] If one of the tips remains in your ear canal and you cannot easily remove it, seek medical attention to avoid forcing the tip further into your ear canal. Your New Balance Sport Ear Buds were designed with a modular cord system. We have provided a 15" cable with an in-line volume control that is suitable if your music player will be worn in an armband or clipped to your clothing at chest level. We have also provided a 36" cable that is suitable if your music player will be clipped to your belt, placed in your pocket or carried in a fanny-pack. Connect the male headphone plug of the ear buds to the female headphone jack of either the 15" or 36" headphone cable depending on your wearing preference. Then connect the male headphone plug of the 15" or 36" cable to the headphone jack of your music player. If the plug is not fully inserted you may only hear sound from one earpiece Using the In-Line Volume Control You may have to adjust the volume control on your music player as well as the In-Line Volume Control on your headphones to find the most satisfactory sound level. If one control is set too low and the other is set too high, the sound may be distorted. Try setting the volume control on your music player halfway between the Min and Max settings, and then use the In-Line Volume Control on your New Balance headphones to make final adjustments. Using the Accessory Cord Winder Clip Your New Balance Ear Buds are also supplied with a cord winder clip that may be used to eliminate excess slack in the 36" cable if necessary. If you find that that the 36" cable is too long you can store up to 24" of cable in the cord winder and then clip the cord winder to your clothing.

Using the Water Resistant Connection Cover Your New Balance Ear Buds are also supplied with a silicon sleeve that can be used to cover the connection between the male headphone plug on the Ear Buds and the female headphone jack on the 15" or 36" cable. Use this connection cover if you routinely use your Ear Buds in extremely wet or damp conditions. [. . . ] This is the result of the build-up of static electricity in your body. This is normal and not an indication of any problem with your headphones. [. . . ]
