Important safety instructions

In order to prevent hearing damage:

왘 Set the volume to a low level before

inserting the ear canal phones into your

periods can lead to permanent hearing
defects. Please protect your hearing!

In order to prevent injury to your auditory
canals and ear drums:

왘 Mount the suitable earpads (S, M or L) to

the ear canal phones. Never insert the
ear canal phones without earpads!

왘 Always insert and extract the ear canal

phones very carefully and slowly! Do not
insert the ear canal phones too deep into
your ears!

environment that requires your special
attention (e.g. in traffic or when
performing skilled jobs).

Note on the sound quality

The perceived sound quality and bass
performance of the ear canal phones
depends to a large extent on the correct
