Important Performance and Safety
Tips for your Headphones
Listen Responsibly
To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.
Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.
Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* on the following page.
This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.

SOUND NOISE LEVEL
(dB)
EFFECT
Whisper 30 Very quiet Quiet Office 50-60 Comfortable hearing
levels are under 60 dB
Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer
70 Intrusive; interferes
with telephone conversations
Food Blender 85-90 85 dB is the level at
which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins
Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer
100 No more than
15 minutes of
unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between
90-100 dB
Power Saw, Drill/
Jackhammer
110 Regular exposure to
sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss
Rock Concerts (varies) 110-140 Threshold of pain begins
around 125 dB
*Chart information obtained from http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/education/teachers/common_sounds.asp
“… a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume.”
“… knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long
is extremely important.”

Eartip Selection
The tips on the ends of your Beats Tour™ make the difference between good sound and great sound. With the right fit, you’ll get better isolation from unwanted outside noise, increased bass response, better tonal balance and the headphones will stay in your ears better. Of course, the right fit will also feel more comfortable. Because everyone’s ears are unique, Monster supplies several sizes and designs of eartips. Getting the perfect fit with the correct tip is a matter of experimentation. Try out all the eartips included with your Tour headphones to find the best fit for the size and shape of your ear canal.
Monster recommends that you try the smallest tip first and work upwards in size until you find a comfortable fit that has a good seal and also stays in your ears without falling out. Also try different style tips to see which works best for you.
Connect
Plug the Tour cable into the 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo plug on your music player.

Use Responsibly
Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.
It’s dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens.
Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster’s FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.
Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org.

Listen
Turn down the volume on your music player before inserting Tour™ headphones.
IMPORTANT: Left and Right Headphone: Having the correct headphone side in the correct ear does affect the listening experience.
Note the “L” and “R” markings on the side of each headphone. “L” is for the left ear. “R” is for the right ear.
Excessive listening levels can cause permanent hearing damage. Avoid loud listening, especially for extended periods of time.
Proper Insertion and Removal of Eartips
1. You may wish to lightly moisten your eartips for easier insertion.
2. Using your right hand, grasp the right headphone.
3. With your left hand, pull up and back on your right ear to straighten your ear canal.
4. Carefully insert your right headphone, rubber eartip first, so that it seals completely and comfortably in your ear. DO NOT insert the eartip so deeply that your ear canal feels completely “plugged.”
5. Repeat this procedure for your left ear.
6. When you’ve finished your listening session, remove your in-ear headphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal.

Eartip Fit Testing
A good way to gauge whether or not the eartip is sealing properly in your ear canal is by snapping your fingers right next to your ear. If the seal is proper, your ear will not feel “plugged,” yet the snapping of your fingers will sound dull and distant. If you hear your finger snaps distinctly, the seal is probably not adequate. If the sound of your finger snapping is dull and distant, but your ear feels plugged up, like you’re on an airplane preparing to land, then you’ve over-inserted the eartip.
Using Tour™ on Flights or at High Altitudes
When using Tour at different altitudes, the air pressure within your ears may change, thereby changing the sound that you hear from the headphones. This is especially true with the gains and drops in altitude during airplane travel. To help with this, occasionally break the eartip seal and re-insert your Tour headphones into your ears. Another helpful tip is the common exercise of holding your nose and very gently blowing through it, which can relieve some of the pressure in your ears.
Cleaning the Eartips
Keeping your Tour™ eartips clean is essential for safe, hygienic use. IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to clean the eartips without first removing
them from the headphones. Getting the delicate circuitry inside your Tour headphones wet may cause permanent damage.
1. Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other. Carefully remove the eartip from the eartube.
2. Use warm water and mild soap on a damp cloth to remove dirt and earwax from the eartip. DO NOT use harsh cleaning agents.
3. Rinse and completely dry your eartips before placing them back on your headphones.
4. Carefully push the eartips back onto the Tour headphones, making sure they are on the eartube completely.
