Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

  • Regularly clean the silicone earplugs with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching to the earpieces.
  • Wipe the earpieces and cable with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, earwax, and sweat.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials for cleaning, as these can damage the earphones.

Cable Care

The KZ EDX Lite features a professional-grade Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) dual-core cable designed for durability and optimal audio transmission. To prolong its lifespan and maintain audio quality:

  • Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling on the cable.
  • When disconnecting the cable from the earpieces or audio source, always grasp the plug or connector firmly, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
  • Store the cable neatly when not in use to prevent tangling and potential damage.
