Using Your New Balance Sport Headphones with Foldable Neck Band

Your New Balance Headphones feature a foldable neckband for compact storage. Unfold the neckband 

completely and place it over your head and behind your neck as shown with the earpieces over your ears 

and the headphone plug on your left side. 

Your New Balance Sport Headphones are 

supplied with two additional sets of plastic 

color  caps  to  allow  you  to  customize  the 

look to match your mood. To replace the 

original caps simply lift up the edge of the 

cap  as  shown  to  remove  it.  Install  a  new 

cap and gently press down on the cap until 

it ‘snaps’ into place.

Your  New  Balance  Sport  Headphones  are  also  supplied 

with two sets of silicon speaker covers. You may wish to 

replace  the  original  sponge  speaker  covers  with  the 

washable  silicon  speaker  covers  if  you  perspire  heavily 

during exercise.

To  replace  the  speaker  covers,  carefully  lift  the    sponge 

covers off the speaker housing and then stretch the silicon 

covers over the housing.

Your New Balance Sport Headphones 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” or 36”cable is not long enough.

Connect the male headphone plug of the headphones 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 plugs are 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:

Using the Water Resistant Connection Cover

Your  New  Balance  Ear  Buds  are  also  supplied  with  a  silicon  sleeve  that  can  be  used  to  cover  the 

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. 

After connecting the male plug of the Ear Buds to the female jack on the 

15” or 36” cable. Slide the connection cover down so that it completely 

covers the plug and jack connection point to seal out excess moisture. 

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.

 

Using the Accessory Cord Winder Clip

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.
