Limited 2 Year Warranty
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 18” extension
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 18” 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 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
earbuds and the headphone plug on your left side.
Your New Balance Sport Ear Buds are supplied with three sets of
silicon tips (S, M and L). The ‘M’ size tips were installed at our factory.
If you find that the ‘M’ size tips are either too large or too small for
your ears you may change to the ‘S’ or ‘L’ size tips. To change the
tips, carefully pull the installed tips off the earpieces and push the
new tips on to the earpieces as shown in the illustration
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the new tips are fully seated on the earpieces so that the tips do
not come off when you remove the earpieces from your ears. If one of the tips remains in your
ear canal and you cannot easily remove it, seek medical attention to avoid forcing the tip further
into your ear canal.
Connect the male headphone plug of the ear buds to the female headphone jack of the 18”
extension cable. Then connect the male headphone plug of the 18” 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 Accessory Cord Clip
Your New Balance Ear Buds are also supplied with a cord
clip that may be used to secure the cable to your clothing if
necessary to eliminate excess cable movement during
exercise.

Sport Earbuds
Your New Balance Sport Ear Buds were designed with a modular

be clipped to your belt, placed in your pocket or carried in a
fanny-pack
