Your new Klipsch Earphone package contains five sets of our patent-pending Contour ear gels. Our
research has indicated that almost 60% of users will prefer the single-flange, medium-sized gel,
so that set is affixed to the earphones in the box. There are three sizes of single flange ear gels
(small, medium, and large) and two sizes of double flange ear gels (small and large).

Beyond fitting the earphone in your ear, the ear gel channels sound and forms a seal in your ear
canal that allows the earphone to deliver a full range of audio frequencies. The flanges affect not
only fit and comfort, but sound quality as well.

Single Flange Ear Gels
The single flange ear gels are general purpose gels. Most people will probably
prefer these for everyday use. For example, if you are going to ride a bicycle you
should choose a single flange ear gel and wear it very loose in the ear so that
you do not block ambient noise, such as other cyclists, cars, or other hazards.
