Find the best eartip fit
In addition to comfort and stability, the right fit provides the best sound quality and superior noise cancellation.
Choose the best eartip size
Beats Studio Buds come with a choice of small, medium, and large silicone eartips. Beats Studio Buds + come with a choice of extra-small, small, medium, and large silicone eartips to fit the widest range of ears.
Medium-size eartips are affixed to the earbuds when you first unbox your Beats Studio Buds or your Beats Studio Buds +. Start there, inserting the earbud and rotating downward until it sits comfortably and securely in your ear.
If you can’t get a good seal, try adjusting the earbuds or switch to a larger eartip. If the eartip feels too large in your ear or is uncomfortable, try a smaller eartip. You might need different sizes for your left and right ears.
Remove or attach eartips
To remove an eartip, pull firmly with your fingers at the base of the eartip where it attaches to the earbud.
To attach an eartip, align the eartip with the circular nozzle on the earbud. With your fingers at the base of the eartip, push the eartip onto the connector until you feel it click securely into place.
