I see the r and l now....oops. thank youThere should be markings on the strain relief just below the buds
Otherwise, put the cable over your ear (wrap it around your ear) and try to insert the bud. You'll know when its not in the right way.
Which earpiece is the left and the right on the akg earbuds? I don't see L or R anywhere and they seem to fit in my ears both ways.
