Volume Adjustment
Your ears are important! Be careful of permanent hearing damage. Lower the volume on your device. Even intermediate levels can be painfully loud. Always turn the volume all the way down before connecting the headphones or doing anything new that may affect the headphone volume. Then turn it up slowly as you listen carefully.
Raise the volume on your device up to a comfortably loud listening level and enjoy!
