The ergonomics of modern wireless headsets from Xiaomi and Redmi are designed with the anatomy of most users in mind, but the individual design of the ears often requires the right size of ears. Many owners ignore the basic rules of wearing, which leads to the device falling out during movement or discomfort after an hour of use.
Not only does an incorrect landing worsen the soundproofing quality, causing you to turn up the volume to dangerous levels, but it can also irritate the ear canal. TWS-Earbuds in the ear to help avoid common mistakes.
Understanding the principles of active noise reduction (ANC) It's very much a matter of the tightness of the earpiece, and if you feel that the bass is getting too wobbly and the extraneous sounds are leaking out too clearly, it's probably a violation of the wearable technology that we'll talk about later.
Auditory canal anatomy and choice of earbuds
The first step to comfortable use is to choose the right size of silicone nozzles.Combined with most models, such as the Redmi Buds 4 Pro or Xiaomi FlipBuds, comes a set of three or four sizes, and this set should not be neglected.
Too small a headphone will constantly rush out when opening your mouth or turning your head, and too large a diameter will put pressure on the cartilage tissue, which in a short time will cause aching pain.
⚠️ Warning: Prolonged wearing of inadequately sized earpieces can lead to inflammation of the outer ear or the formation of sulfur plugs due to a violation of natural ventilation.
To check the correct landing, use the leakproofness test, which is built into the Xiaomi Earbuds or Mi Fitness application. The system will analyze the sound leak and tell you whether to replace the current nozzle with a larger or smaller one.
The technique of proper installation in the ear
There is a common misconception that you just need to insert an earpiece into the ear canal opening. In fact, models with a leg or a specific body shape, such as the Redmi Buds 3 Lite, require rotational movement.
Take the earpiece with your fingers and gently pull the top of the ears up and back with your other hand, which straightens the ear canal, allowing you to insert the device deeper and more correctly.
- 🎧 Insert the earpiece into the ear canal at a slight angle, focusing on the natural bending.
- 🔄 Make a light rotational movement backwards to "lock" the body in the cartilaginous part of the shell.
- 👌 Release the ear and make sure the device is held on its own without hand support.
Once installed, check the location of the microphone holes, which should be pointed forward or down, depending on the model, so that your voice is clearly transmitted when talking, without distortion by the wind.
Features of wearing during sports
Active training creates extreme conditions for fixing the gadget. Sweat, sudden head movements and high pulsation can cause even well-seated Xiaomi headphones to fall out.
For sports, it is critical to use wingtips, if you have them in your model, such as the Redmi Buds 4 Active series, which are plastic arcs that rest against the ear curl, creating a mechanical stop.
☑️ Testing readiness for training
Moisture from sweat reduces the friction coefficient of silicone against the skin. Regularly wipe your ears and ears with dry cloth during long marathons or intense interval training.
If you're using a model without any additional locks, try turning the headphone upside down (upside down) if the shape of the body allows it, sometimes changing the pressure vector and improving landing stability when running.
Ear hygiene and care
Intrachannel headphones create a closed space where bacteria multiply rapidly, a natural process that requires user control to prevent infections.
Silicone earpieces should be removed and washed with soap at least once a week, and the headphone body should be wiped with an alcohol napkin, avoiding liquid entering the speaker's mesh.
| Frequency of use | Cleaning the nozzles | Disinfection of the shell | Replacement of nozzles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily (sports) | Every day. | 2-3 times a week | Once in 3-4 months |
| Daily (office) | Once every 3 days | Once a week. | Every 6 months |
| Periodically | Before each use | Once a month | As we wear it out |
Remember to clean the earwax from the speaker's mesh with a soft dry brush. A clogged mesh not only makes the sound sound sound worse, making it quiet and deaf, but also puts pressure on the eardrum.
Why does itchy ear after headphones?
Security and listening time
Wearing any in-ear headphones, including Xiaomi products, can cause hearing fatigue. Doctors recommend the 60/60 rule: listen to music no louder than 60% of maximum volume and no longer than 60 minutes in a row.
Using noise reduction in noisy places (metro, street) keeps the volume down to the limit, which keeps the hearing going, but in complete silence, the ANC can create a sense of pressure that is worth resting from.
⚠️ Warning: If you feel ringing in your ears, dizziness, or a sharp decrease in hearing after removing your headphones, stop using them immediately and give your hearing organs a rest for 24 hours.
For children and adolescents, continuous listening should be reduced to 40 minutes, and their hearing aids are more sensitive to acoustic pressure.
💡
Use the Ear Detect feature (if supported by a model) to automatically pause the music when you take out your earphone for a conversation, which protects your battery and your hearing.
Solving problems with loss and discomfort
Even after the size is selected, some users are faced with the earphone falling out of one particular ear, often due to asymmetry in the structure of the ears, which is the norm.
In these cases, you can use special sports hooks, fixers that are glued to the body of the headphone or put on top of it, which are inexpensive and fundamentally solve the problem of unstable landing.
- 🧼 Degrease the headphone body before installing additional locks.
- 🛠 Make sure the hook does not block the charging contacts on the case.
- 👂 Check if the new structure is pressing on the inside of the ear.
If the discomfort is not caused by the size, but by the shape of the body, try changing the angle of input. Sometimes it is enough to turn the earpiece 10-15 degrees to find your "own" point on the cartilage.
💡
The main secret of comfortable wearing is not the force of pressure, but the correct reliance on the bone protrusions of the ear, and not on the soft tissues of the canal.
