Warning
Except in case of emergency, VOXX Accessories Corporation recommends you do
not use these headphones or headsets (headphones plus microphone) as aviation
communication equipment as they are not engineered for many environmental
conditions common in commercial or non-commercial aircraft (including, but not
limited to: altitude, temperature, noise conditions, unpressurized aircraft,
ect) resulting in possible interference to critical communications.
Listen Responsibly
To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is
turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in/on
your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable
listening level. Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any
noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss. Monitor your use;
hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less
time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen
to it. The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by
