Sound Experience
These headphones utilize both bone and air conduction to deliver sound. Bone conduction transmits sound vibrations directly to your inner ear through your cheekbones, while air conduction provides additional audio clarity. This combination allows for a rich audio experience while keeping your ears open to ambient sounds, enhancing safety during outdoor activities.
Enjoy your music while remaining fully aware of your environment, ideal for outdoor activities.
Pure Monster Sound is achieved by transmitting audio directly through the cheekbone to the inner ear.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the performance and appearance of your headphones, wipe them regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Water Resistance (IPX5)
Your headphones are IPX5 water-resistant, meaning they can withstand sweat and light splashes of water. They are not designed for submersion in water. After exposure to sweat or rain, wipe the headphones dry before charging to prevent corrosion.
The IPX5 water-resistant rating ensures the headphones can endure sweat, moisture, or sudden rain.
