The Belkin SoundForm™ Dot ANC Earbuds (AUC018) are designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit for everyday listening. Choosing the correct ear tip and wing tip size helps improve sound quality, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance and overall comfort. This guide walks you through selecting the right fit and properly wearing your earbuds.
How to Select and Install the Correct Ear Tip and Wing Tip
Step 1: Choose the appropriate size
The earbuds come with three sizes. Start with the medium size, then adjust if needed:
| Size | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Small (S) | Try this size if the earbuds feel uncomfortable or create pressure. |
| Medium (M) | Start with this size. It is the best fit for most ears. |
| Large (L) | Try this size if the earbuds feel loose or fall out. |
Step 2: Install the ear tip
- Hold the earbud firmly.
- Align the ear tip with the earbud nozzle.
- Push the ear tip onto the nozzle until it is securely attached.
- Gently tug the ear tip to confirm it is properly installed.
Step 3: Install the wing tip (if applicable)
- Select the wing tip size that fits your ear comfortably.
- Align the opening of the wing tip with the earbud body.
- Slide the wing tip onto the earbud until it sits securely in place.
- Make sure the wing tip does not block any speaker openings or sensors.
How to Wear the Earbuds
Step 1: Insert the earbud
- Identify the correct left or right earbud.
- Gently place the earbud into your ear canal.
Step 2: Rotate to lock
- Twist the earbud slightly backward and upward.
- Rotate until the wing tip rests comfortably against the inner contours of your ear.
- Check that the earbud feels secure and does not move easily.
Step 3: Check the fit
| Check | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Comfort | The earbud should feel snug but comfortable. |
| Sound | Sound should be clear and balanced. |
| ANC | ANC performance should improve when a proper seal is achieved. |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I am using the correct ear tip size?
A proper fit creates a gentle seal in your ear, provides strong bass response and keeps the earbud secure during movement. If the earbud slips out or sound quality seems weak, try a different size.
Why is Active Noise Cancellation not working as expected?
ANC works best when the ear tips create a complete seal in your ears. Try a larger ear tip size or adjust the earbud position for a tighter fit.
What should I do if the earbuds feel uncomfortable?
Try a smaller ear tip or wing tip size and reposition the earbuds. Wearing the correct size can significantly improve comfort during long listening sessions.
