How to Place a Wax Guard on the Shure EC2 Sound Isolating Earphones

The Shure EC2 sound isolating earphones are designed to reduce noise and provide a high quality listening experience. They do this by fitting snugly into the ear canal and blocking all outside noise. Because the earphones are designed to fit inside the ear canal, therea??s the possibility of ear wax fouling the tips of the ear stems. To avoid this, Shure provides disposable earwax guards.
