Hearing Safety

⚠️ Danger

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 is.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headset:

• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume continuously upwards as your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
• Using headphones with both ears covered while driving is not recommended and may be illegal in some areas.
• For your safety, avoid distractions from music or phone calls while in traffic or other potentially dangerous environments.
