Cautions
¡Discontinue use if you experience discomfort
with the headphones or any other parts that
directly contact your skin. Continued use may
cause rashes or other allergic reactions.

sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
¡Start your volume control at a low setting.
¡Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
¡Set the dial and leave it there.
