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.
This decibel (dB) table compares some common
sounds and shows how they rank in potential
harm to hearing.
recommended for sounds between 90–100 dB

Use Responsibly
Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so –
while operating a vehicle, riding a bike, 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.
Headphones “Break-in”
Break in time for headphones? We’re kidding,
right? No we’re not. Like any high performance
product, whether it’s cars or headphones, they’re
mechanical devices that settle in after use. Your
new headphones will sound incredible out of the
box, but will “mellow” out after use and sound even
better. We recommend playing them for 8 hours.
After 20 hours of playing, they should be fully
broken in. Enjoy.
