- Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in the provided carrying pouch to protect them from dust, dirt, and tangling. Avoid wrapping the cable too tightly.
- Avoid Moisture: While the product specifications list "Waterproof" for water resistance, it is generally best practice to avoid exposing electronic devices to excessive moisture. Do not submerge the headphones in water.
- Temperature: Do not expose the headphones to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or high humidity.
- Cable Care: Avoid pulling on the cable when disconnecting from a device. Always grasp the 3.5mm jack itself.
