Listen safely!

Enjoy your earphones at a safe volume. Avoid or limit the amount of time you listen at higher volumes—permanent hearing loss may occur if the earphones are used at too high a volume. If you experience a ringing in your ears, or your own voice and other sounds seem mufed, stop using the earphones and consult a hearing professional.

Important: Do not use these earphones when operating a motor vehicle or in any environment where the inability to hear outside sounds may present a danger to you or to others. Sounds that you usually rely on as reminders or warnings may seem unfamiliar when using earphones. If you plan to use earphones around sounds like these, make sure you know how to recognize the sounds with your earphones on.

Cleaning and caring for your earphones

To clean earphone sleeves:

Remove the sleeves from the earphones and wash them in lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Rinse the sleeves in clean water and make sure they are completely dry before putting them on the earphones.
