- Noise Protection: These earplugs reduce noise by approximately 12dB (NRR). They are suitable for everyday use and for high noise environments, such as live music venues.
- Care & Maintenance: Keep earplugs clean to prevent ear infections or irritation. Clean silicone tips regularly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Impulse Noise Warning: These earplugs protect against impulse noise but may not be sufficient for extreme impulse noise like gunfire or blasts. Use additional protection in high-risk environments.
- Choking Hazard: Contains small parts. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Do Not Modify: Modifications may reduce effectiveness and void the warranty.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
- Obsolescence Date: 2 years from the date of purchase.
- Proper Fit, Use, and Inspection: Ensure correct fitting, adjustment, and maintenance. Wear earplugs in noisy surroundings and inspect regularly.
- WARNING: Sudden or fast removal of earplugs may damage the eardrum.
- WARNING: Failure to follow instructions may reduce effectiveness, leading to inadequate noise protection and potential hearing damage.
Care & Maintenance
These earplugs are designed for repeated use and can be cleaned and reused. To ensure optimal performance and hygiene:
- Remove the Silicone Tips: Gently pull the silicone tips off the Music ear caps before cleaning.
- Clean the Tips: Use mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
- Cleaning the Ear Caps: Wipe the ear caps with a clean, dry cloth. Do not submerge in water or use harsh chemicals.
- Reassemble: Once the tips are fully dry, securely reattach them to the ear caps.
Fitting Guide
Ensure the earplugs sit securely and comfortably in your ear. If they feel loose or don't reduce noise effectively, try a different tip for a better fit (S, M, L).
- Ensure correct placement for maximum protection.
- If earplugs feel loose or noise reduction is ineffective, try a different size tip.
- Ensure earplugs are securely fitted.
