potentially a stupid question

... Is there any reason to NOT use the wax guard? Does it further recess highs?... that kind of thing? I see a lot of pics with them removed, so there are some out there who choose not to.

Thanks in advance...

There's a reason why it's called a "wax guard".

is the wax gaurd the tiny bit of mesh? if so, i dont use em cos they fell off

 

[kramer5150]

really... yeah I stuck them on but theres not much surface for them to stick onto... Im worried it will fall off into my ear. Its adhering OK for the moment.

did you take off the sleeve? then put the wax guards on, and once thats done put the sleeves back on.

If you did right theres no way the wax guard will fall.

The sleeves have a lip that rests over the end of the tube. The diameter of the hole in the sleeves is smaller than the diamter of the guards and the outside of the tube so they hold the guards down.

doh.. didnt see that...
I'll keep em on then.

thanks

reminds me of the good time I have with my e2...


when I first got them, instead of taking the guards off the plastic, I cut the plastic in a circle with the wax guard on top of it, put it on the top of the bore and expected the sleeves would hold them tightly. I thought they could not be separated. it was one of the many stupid things I have done in my life.. boy...

Speaking of these guards, how often should they be replaced?

 

[apnk]

when they are covered in wax.

wax gaurd prevent wax build up wich will distort the sound and also cause painful ear infections. they are simple to install

1) take of any sleeve that you have on the headphonesw (silicon, foam, ect)
2) carefully remove the wax gaurd from the paper ( i used tweezers)
3) apply to end of tube
4) replace sleeve (silicon, foam, ect)

have fun
