Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HiFiGo DUNU x KOTO ITO IEMs, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Storage: Store the IEMs in the provided carrying case when not in use to protect them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.

    • Ensure the audio source is playing high-quality audio files.
