Not e s on using your Wa lkm a n
The earbuds seal your ears. Therefore, be aware that there is a risk of

About the diffe renc e s bet w ee n the tw o type s of
ea rbuds
Standard-type earbuds (Applicable to )

When you replace Swimming earbuds with the standard-type earbuds,
the sound becomes louder. Adjust the volume so as not to hurt your
