DESIGNED FOR DECADES OF USE

• Our headbands are constructed with premium grain cowhide on the exterior surface and lined with soft lambskin. Each set of ear pads are made of memory foam and wrapped in lambskin, providing superior comfort and breathability. Areas subject to heavy wear, such as the ear pads, are built to last and be easily replaced as needed.
• All high-strain areas utilize stainless steel components. Our innovative all-aluminum antenna enables maximum Bluetooth® range, while incorporating an elegant design element. All metals are anodized or PVD coated, not painted.

HEARING HEALTH

• Our ability to hear is amazing. Treat your ears like the precious tools they are, and they will continue to provide you with exceptional data, as well as a lifetime of incredible sonic experiences.
• In general, do not listen “too loud or for too long,” and be attentive to your own ears. Ringing, discomfort, or sensitivity to high frequencies and treble may be a signal from your ears that you are pushing them to their limits and causing damage.
• As a general practice, find what seems to be your preferred listening level and then adjust the volume down another 10% or more. Surprisingly, your ears will attune to a slightly lower volume over time, and what seems quiet at first can be perfect for longer listening periods.
• If you are interested in tuning your ear to have a more refined sonic palate, there are some apps and training programs you can find online.

PREVENTION OF NIHL (NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS)

NIHL is a preventable condition caused by both one-time and extended exposure to excessive decibel (dB) levels. This harm to sensitive inner ear structures is irreversible and people of all ages can be affected. Damage can happen in a single event or gradually over time. One-time exposure to an intense “impulse” sound, such as an explosion, or by continued exposure to loud sounds over 85 decibels can cause harm. Indicators of NIHL include hearing loss and tinnitus, a condition of sensing constant ringing, buzzing or roaring. The NIDCD (National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders) offers this simple rule of thumb: avoid sound exposure that is “too loud, too close or too long.” Here are some general references to sound levels that occur in everyday life: refrigerator humming (45 dB); normal conversation (60 dB); city traffic (85 dB); motorcycles (95 dB); an MP3 player at full volume (105 dB); sirens (120 dB); firecrackers (150 dB).
