Important Safety Information

Please read all safety information before using your headphones to ensure safe and proper operation.

  • Hearing Safety: To avoid hearing damage, limit the time you use headphones at high volume and set the volume to a safe level. The louder the volume, the shorter the safe listening time.
  • Driving Safety: Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating machinery. Using headphones while driving may be illegal in some areas and reduces your ability to hear important sounds like emergency vehicles.
  • Water and Dust Resistance: The headphones are IP55 rated for dust and water resistance. This means they are protected against limited dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. Do not submerge the headphones in water. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging.
  • Cleaning: Clean the headphones and charging case with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery: Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself. The battery is non-user-replaceable. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
