Using Your New Balance Sport Ear Buds with Foldable Head Band
Your New Balance Ear Buds feature a foldable headband for compact storage. Unfold the headband
completely, place it over your head and insert the “L” ear bud in your left ear and the “R” ear bud in your
right ear. Adjust the length of the headband for the most comfortable and secure fit.
Your New Balance Sport Ear Buds were designed with a modular cord
system. We have provided a 15” iPod/iPhone control cable that is
suitable if your music player will be worn in an armband or clipped to your
clothing at chest level. We have also provided a 36” cable that is suitable
if your music player will be clipped to your belt, placed in your pocket or
carried in a fanny-pack. You may connect both cables together in case
you want to control your iPod or iPhone and the 15” cable is not long
enough.
Connect the male headphone plug of the ear buds to the female headphone jack of either the 15” or 36”
headphone cable depending on your wearing preference. Then connect the male headphone plug of the
15” or 36” cable to the headphone jack of your music player. Be sure that the plugs are fully inserted into
the jacks. If the plug is not fully inserted you may only hear sound from one earpiece.
Using the iPod/iPhone Control Cable
Connect the 15” iPod/iPhone cable between your headphones and your iPod/iPhone to perform the
following operations with the remote controller mounted on the cable:

Your New Balance Ear Buds are also supplied with a cord winder clip that may be used to eliminate excess
slack in the 36” cable if necessary. If you find that that the 36” cable is too long you can store up to 24” of
cable in the cord winder and then clip the cord winder to your clothing.

connection between the male headphone plug on the Ear Buds and the female headphone jack on the 15”
or 36” cable. Use this connection cover if you routinely use your Ear Buds in extremely wet or damp
conditions.
Stretch the connection cover over the plug of the Ear Buds as shown.

Safety Information
To protect your hearing, always start listening with the Volume Control of
your music player set to a low level and gradually increase the volume to
a comfortable listening level.
IMPORTANT! Listening at high volume for long periods of time can result
in long-term hearing damage. For your safety, do not use headphones if
they would prevent you from hearing warning sounds, such as while
driving a car or motorcycle, riding a bike, etc.
NOTE: In extremely cold or dry air conditions you may notice a slight
‘tingling’ feeling in your ears when using in-ear headphones. This is the
result of the build-up of static electricity in your body. This is normal and
not an indication of any problem with your headphones.
