Fitting the Ear Tips
M-Audio has included a variety of ear tips to 
ensure a good seal for your ears. All ears are 
unique so you will need to determine which tips 
are most comfortable for you. 
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:
①
Single-flange silicone ear tips
(2 small and 2 large)
②
Double-flange silicone ear tips
③
Disposable foam 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.
Connecting to a Listening Device
M-Audio earphones come with an 1/8-inch 
input plug that is compatible with most personal 
listening devices. 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.
