About foamed silicone earbuds

Supplied foamed silicone earbuds provide a snug fit 
for effective attenuation of ambient noise.

Notes

ˎ

ˎ

Prolonged use of snugly fitting earbuds may strain 
your ears. If you experience discomfort, discontinue 
use.

ˎ

ˎ

The foamed silicone portion of the earbuds is very 
fragile. If it is damaged, the earbuds may not sit 
correctly in your ears, and noise isolation may be 
affected. 

ˎ

ˎ

The foamed silicone may deteriorate or harden over 
time, and noise isolation may be affected.

ˎ

ˎ

Do not subject the foamed silicone portion to 
pressure over long periods, as it may cause 
deformation.

Removing the headphones

After use, remove the headphones slowly.

Note

Headphones are designed to fit closely in your ears. If 
the headphones are pressed hard while in use or 
taken off too quickly, they may cause injury.
Wearing headphones may produce a diaphragm click 
sound. This is not a malfunction.

Precautions

High volume may affect your hearing. 
For traffic safety, do not use while 
driving or cycling.

Install the earbuds firmly. If an earbud 
accidentally detaches and is left in 
your ear, it may cause injury.
