FIT
Your earphones come with the medium silicone ear tips attached.
Choose the silicone or foam ear tips that form a seal with your ear canal.
Silicone ear tips are durable and easy to clean, while foam ear tips offer a
more secure fit and superior sound isolation. Our custom round ear tips are
designed in conjunction with the oval nozzle shape to provide a superior
universal fit. Squeeze the ear tip to match its orientation to the nozzle and
then press the ear tip against the nozzle to attach.
EAR TIP OPTIONS

FOAM
To insert your earphones using foam ear tips, gently compress the foam ear tip using your fingers and insert it into your ear. Hold the earphones in place until the foam fully expands and forms a seal with your ear canal.

indicates 1-29%. If the center battery flashes red or does not display, the
case battery is depleted.
To charge your case via wired charging, plug in the USB-C cable into the right
side of your case and plug the other end into a power source. If you do not
have a USB-C power source you can use our supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter to
use a USB-A power source. To charge your case via wireless charging, center
your MW08 Sport earphone case on a wireless charging pad with the LEDs facing
upwards. The MW08 SPORT is compatible with the MC100 Wireless Charge Pad (sold
separately).

EAR 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 irreparable 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.
NIHL
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).
RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE
- This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End user must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
- The portable device is designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the ISED. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use when properly worn on the body.
