4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your JVC HA-F17M headphones.

Cleaning

  • Gently wipe the earbuds and cable with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water and mild soap, then wipe and immediately dry.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
  • Ensure the 3.5mm plug is clean and free of debris before inserting it into your device.

Storage

  • When not in use, store the headphones in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid tangling the cable by coiling it neatly.
  • Do not store heavy objects on top of the headphones.

Sweat Resistance (IPX2)

The JVC HA-F17M headphones are rated IPX2, meaning they are protected against dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees from the normal position. This makes them suitable for light exercise and protection against sweat. However, they are not designed for submersion in water or exposure to heavy rain. Always wipe off sweat after use to maintain their condition.
