Notes on Headphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized
vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can
also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while
walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme
caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside
sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.
