• With the beyerdynamic MIY App you can personalise your Bluetooth® headphones. The app’s “Statiics” function tracks the sound pressure level that the user’s ears are exposed to over time.

Disconnect cableXelento wireless – In-Ear Headphones

Connect cable Selecting the right eaips For an optimal comfo in wearing, detail is very impoant with the Xelento. To achieve this we measured and analysed a large number of ears and auditory canals. Based on this data, we have created ergonomically shaped eaips for the Xelento, which correspond to the oval shape of the ear canal and therefore are paicularly comfoable to wear. Our silicone eaips are made of a special so material exclusively for the Xelento series. As each ear canal is unique Xelento wireless is supplied with a total of ten pairs of eaips in dierent sizes (seven of silicone, three of Comply™ foam type Tx-500) to ensure a peect fit for each ear. This is not only essential for a good ambient noise attenuation, but also for the be possible development of sound.english Xelento wireless – In-Ear Headphones

Please take your time to try dierent sizes and to find out which size fits you be - it is woh it! We recommend that you use size M fir. Due to anatomical conditions it can be that you need dierent sizes for the le and the right ear. When in doubt, use a smaller size so that the Xelento sits as deep as possible in the ear canal. You will recognise the peect fit with the Xelento sitting securely in the ear canal even during movement and by providing a good ambient noise attenuation so that you can enjoy a poweul bass response. 2x each: The sizes from XS to 3XL are marked on the back of the silicone eaips. Silicone eaips

Xelento wireless – In-Ear Headphones

• Please make sure to attach the silicone eaips to the housing with the longer end of the eaip next to the housing. The oval opening of the eaips corresponds to the oval shape of the housing. Comply™ foam eaips

• Firmly roll the eaip attached to the earphone lengthwise between your fingers. 2x each:

• Pull the ear slightly upwards with one hand, carefully inse the earphone with the rolled eaip into the ear canal with your other hand.

• Hold the earphone with your finger until the shape of the eaip adapts to your ear canal and sits comfoably. SM Lenglish Xelento wireless – In-Ear Headphones

english Xelento wireless – In-Ear Headphones

If you want to remove the Comply™ foam eaips, firmly press them together and pull them from the housing with a slight rotating movement. Inseing and wearing Xelento wireless Due to the anatomical shape of the earphone housing, the cable of the Xelento wireless is guided behind the ear when inseing Xelento wireless. See adjacent drawing. This method of wearing the ear- phones suppresses cable noise eectively and even when the cable is pulled the earphones sit firmly in the ear. Please make sure that the cable is conducted upward. Only in this way is it possible to wear the earphones correctly and com- foably. The right-hand earphone housing and cable end each have a small raised dot to mark the right-hand side.Xelento wireless – In-Ear Headphones
