    incorrect use of the product, or by use for purposes not specified by the manufacturer.
    Beyerdynamic is not liable for damage to USB devices that do not comply with USB specifications.
    Please also observe the relevant country-specific regulations before using the product.

Adjusting the volume
High volumes and long listening times can permanently damage your hearing.
Because in-ear headphones sit directly in the ear canal, there is an increased risk of hearing damage.

  • Before inserting the earphones, set the volume to a minimum. Only increase the volume after inserting the earphones.
  • Do not use in-ear headphones at high volume for a long time. When listening and speaking normally with in-ear headphones, your own voice should still be perceptible.
  • In the case of tinnitus, decrease the volume. If necessary, consult a doctor.
  • Please note that excessively high volumes and long listening times may cause hearing damage. Hearing impairments are irreversible, so always make sure that the volume is appropriate. It is advisable to keep listening times at high volumes as short as possible.
  • The headphones are not suitable for children under 12 years of age due to the possible high sound pressure level.
  • Do not use the headphones at full volume for more than three hours a week.

Reducing the perception of ambient noise

In-ear headphones drastically reduce the perception of ambient noise. Using in-ear headphones in road traffic can be potentially dangerous. The user’s hearing must not be impaired to the extent that it causes road safety risks.

  • Do not use in-ear headphones within the action area of potentially dangerous machines and tools.
  • Avoid using in-ear headphones in situations where hearing must not be impaired – particularly in road traffic when crossing a level crossing, or on a construction site.
    Risk of injury
    Avoid sudden movements when using wired in-ear headphones. You might seriously hurt yourself especially if you wear piercings, earrings, glasses, etc., where the wire can get caught.

Changed acoustic perception
For many people, wearing in-ear headphones takes some getting used to because of the acoustic perception of their own voice and body as well as the inner ear sounds that occur while walking is different from the “normal” situation without in-ear headphones.
However, this initially strange sensation usually diminishes after wearing them for a while.
Cleaning dirty ear tips
Dirt on the ear tips and the formation of a warm and humid climate in the ear canal can cause germs to multiply, which can increase the risk of an ear canal infection.

  • Regularly clean the ear tips.
    Damage from liquids
    Liquid penetration can damage the earphones.

  •  Make sure that no liquids penetrate the earphones (e.g. when cleaning).
    Solvent-based or aggressive cleaning agents can damage the surfaces of the earphones or the cable.

  • Do not use solvent-based or aggressive cleaning agents.
    Risk of swallowing

  • Keep small parts, such as products, packaging, and accessories, away from children and pets. They constitute a choking hazard if swallowed.
    Power and connecting cable
    Use only the cable we supply to connect the in-ear headphones to a playback device.
    Environmental conditions

  • Do not expose the product to rain, snow, liquids, or moisture.

FIRST STEPS

Using and fitting the ear tips

Every ear is unique, and the size of the ear tip required may vary from one ear to another.

Silicone eartips

The sizes XS to XXXL are marked on the shaft of the silicone ear tips.

Comply ™ foam ear tips
2x each:
Size:

Fitting the silicone eartips

  • Carefully place the silicone eartips on the housings.
    The oval opening of the ear tip follows the oval shape of the housing.

Adjusting and fitting Comply™ ear tips

  • Before inserting, roll the ear tip attached to the earphone tightly lengthwise between your fingers.
    After insertion, the ear tips expand again and provide good support for the earphone, even when you are moving.

Removing Comply™ ear tips

  • To remove Comply™ ear tips, squeeze them firmly and pull them off the housing with a slight twisting motion.

Replacing ear tips
If you are using them regularly, we recommend changing the ear tips every three months.
Replacement silicone ear tips can be ordered from the Beyerdynamic spare parts shop: www.beyerdynamic.com/service/spare- parts
Replacement Comply™ foam ear tips, together with dealers where you can order the ear tips, can be found online at: www.complyfoam.com
Eartip types used: Tx-500

  • Carefully remove the ear tip from the earphone.
    Dirty sound outlets can be cleaned by replacing the small wax guard grilles.

Use the enclosed microfibre cleaning cloth to clean the earphone’s sound outlet of residues.

  • Make sure that no liquid flows into the outlet.
  1. Put the new ear tip on the earphone.

Maintaining ear tips
The ear tips on your in-ear headphones should be cleaned regularly and then dried with the microfibre cleaning cloth provided.

  • For cleaning instructions, see “Cleaning” on page 17.

INSERTING AND WEARING XELENTO REMOTE

Due to the anatomical shape of the earphone housing, the cable of the Xelento remote is routed behind the ear. This way of wearing the earphones effectively suppresses cable
noise and the earphones sit firmly in the ear even when the cable is pulled.

  • Insert the earphones into your ears and guide the cable upwards behind your ears.
    The right-hand cable end has a small, raised dot to mark the right-hand side.

Cable clip
You can use the cable clip supplied to secure the jack lead of your Xelento remote in-ear headphones.
This prevents the cable from getting tangled and avoids unwanted noise when using the microphone, for example, while talking on the phone.

ATTACHING AND CHANGING THE CABLE

Xelento remote in-ear headphones have plug-in cables on the earphone housings with standard MMCX connectors with locking mechanisms.
When detaching or attaching the cable on the Xelento remote earphones or the playback device, always hold the cable by the connector to avoid damaging the cable or earphones. Do not pull directly on the cable!

Detaching/attaching the cable on the earphone

  1. To detach or attach the cable, hold the in-ear headphones by the earphone housing and the connector. Never pull directly on the cable! The cable or the earphone may be damaged if you do!

  2. Detach the cable.

  3. Attach the cable.

Detaching/attaching the jack lead on the playback device

  • Hold the lead by the jack plug and detach or attach.

CLEANING

  • To clean the earphones and cables, simply rub them with a dry cloth. Ideally, you should use the enclosed microfibre cleaning cloth. For more stubborn soiling, we recommend using an alcohol-based cleaning agent.

  • Do not use water to clean the earphones.

  • Make sure that no liquid enters the housing or the transducer.

  • Do not use any other solvent-based or aggressive cleaners, as these may damage the surface.

  • Dirty sound outlets can be cleaned by removing the small wax guard grilles. The wax guard grilles can be removed and cleaned in lukewarm water with a mild detergent
    (e.g. soap) or replaced with the spare metal grilles supplied if necessary. Before reassembling the earphones, make sure that there is no liquid or dirt on the individual components, particularly in the earphones.

  • If the ear tips are very dirty, remove them and clean them in lukewarm water with a mild detergent (e.g. soap).

  • Store the in-ear headphones in the enclosed case when not in use.
