How to wear Shure headphones

Wearing headphones may seem pretty self-explanatory and simple, but you’d be surprised by how often they’re not actually worn or fixed correctly.

The first step is to pick the headphone type that is the most comfortable for you. What’s comfortable for one person may not be comfortable for another. Thanks to Shure’s extensive range of over-ear headphones and in-ear earphones, you’re spoiled for choice and sure to find the right pair that suits you.

Once you’ve found the perfect pair, identify the 'L' and 'R' labels, usually found near the ear cups or on the outer surface of the earphones. Some models have blue and red dots on the inner side of the earphone body, with blue to represent the left earphone and red for the right, so double-check for these if you are unsure which one’s which. Putting your headphones on the wrong way round is one of the most common mistakes people make and wearing them correctly makes a surprising difference to sound quality. To get the most out of your headphones, always wear them correctly.

If you’ve chosen over-ear headphones, position the headband slap-bang in the middle of your head before adjusting the headband to secure them in place. The ear cushions should be fitting snugly around your ears if you have positioned the headband in the right place.

All Shure SE in-ear earphones are designed to be worn with the cable running up and over the ear to maximise comfort and hold them securely in place while you go about your day. Form a hook with the cable to fit them snugly around the outer rim of your ear - you’ll know if you’re wearing them correctly because the Shure logo will be facing the right side up. For an even more secure fit when you’re exercising, adjust the cable cinch snugly against the back of your head.

If you’re using foam earbuds, give them a little squeeze with your fingers (like you would an earplug), before inserting them into your ears. By squeezing the foam down, it fits easily into the ear and expands to fit the shape of your ear canal for the most secure possible.

Now you have your headphones properly fitted, all you have to do is choose whether you want to hang the cables to the front or back, and enjoy the best immersive listening experience with your high-performance Shure headphones.
