Information

Waterproofness

The waterproofness of the earbud body is compliant with IPX5. (Earbud nozzle: excluding the sound conduit) IPX5 indicates that the product will continue functioning even if water is directly projected against it from any direction. While this standard guarantees this performance with fresh water or tap water at room temperature, it does not guarantee equivalent performance with warm water or seawater. In addition, malfunctions caused by water ingress due to incorrect handling are not covered by the warranty, even during the warranty period. The second digit of IPX refers to "Liquid ingress protection" according to JIS C 0920 (harmonized standard of IEC 60529), "Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)".

Public Use

Do not use the earbuds at high volume in a public place. Sound leakage from the earbuds may be a nuisance to people around you.
