How to Insert Ear Buds

Ear buds are compact listening devices that can improve your listening experience when using an iPod or a MP3 player. When inserted properly, they form a seal with your ear canal, thus improving bass quality and canceling out a great deal of surrounding noise. However, many people do not know how to wear ear buds without them falling out. With some practice, inserting ear buds can be a simple task.

• 1

  Identify which ear bud goes into which ear. Your ear buds should be marked with either an "L" or a "R" to signify left and right.

• 2

  Hold onto the ear bud and gently insert into your ear. The ear bud should fit snugly. If the ear bud feels loose, apply a little more pressure when inserting. If your ear buds have foam, let the soft material fill your ear canal for maximum comfort.

• 3

  Plug the audio input connector of your ear buds into your MP3 player. Always turn on your music player at a low sound setting to avoid blasting loud music into your ears unexpectedly. Adjust the "V" cord by pulling up or down to your preference as you move about.
