Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the headphones with a soft, damp cloth after each use, especially after workouts or swimming, to remove sweat, chlorine, or salt water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Waterproofing (IPX8)
The X16 headphones are rated IPX8, meaning they can be submerged in water up to 2 meters for up to 30 minutes. While designed for swimming, ensure the charging port is completely dry before charging to prevent damage. For optimal performance in water, use the internal storage mode as Bluetooth signals do not transmit well through water.
