“… 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.”

From www.cbc.ca/health/story/2006/10/19/music-earphones.html

Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great
audio performance even at safe levels. Our headphones
will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels

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.

Performance and Safety Tips

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 / on
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.

This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds
and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.

Quiet Oce 50–60 Comfortable hearing levels

are under 60 dB

Listen

Turn down the volume on your music player before

inserting Diesel Vektr headphones.
Note the “L” and “R” markings above the inside of each

earcup. “L” is for the left ear. “R” is for the right ear.

Remove your headphone cable. Note the two folding
hinges on the headband. Fold one side, then the other.
