Adjusting the volume

High volume levels and long listening times can permanently damage your hearing. Because in-ear headphones are placed directly in the ear canal, they can become 6­9 dB louder than conventional headphones, and this increases the risk of hearing damage.

• Before inserting the earphones, set the volume to minimum. Only increase the volume after inserting the earphones.
• Do not use the 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 case of tinnitus, reduce the volume. If necessary, consult a doctor.

You can personalise your Bluetooth® headphones with the beyerdynamic MIY app. The app’s “Statistics” function records the sound pressure your ears are exposed to over time. However, it only refers to the sound pressure generated through the headphones` speakers and not to that from external sources of noise.

Reducing perception of ambient noise

In-ear headphones drastically reduce 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 the 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.

Changed acoustic perception

For many people, wearing in-ear headphones takes some getting used to because 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

Dirt on the eartips and the formation of a warm and humid climate in the ear canal can cause an increased level of germs, which can increase the risk of an ear canal infection.

• Regularly clean the eartips.

Risk of swallowing

Keep small parts, such as product, packaging and accessories, away from children and pets. They constitute a choking hazard if swallowed!

Using the batteries

Danger from heat, water and mechanical stress

Excessive heat, water and mechanical stress may cause explosion, heat, fire, smoke or fumes. Injuries and irreversible damage to the battery may result. Do not expose the battery (battery pack or built-in battery) to excessive heat, direct sunlight or fire.

• Do not expose the battery (battery pack or built-in battery) to excessive heat, direct sunlight or fire.
• Do not open the case or disassemble the battery.
• Do not use the battery if there is a risk it has come into contact with water.
• Only use a USB 2.0/3.0 standard-compliant 5 V power supply unit to charge the battery via the integrated USB socket type C (current consumption is max. 0.5 A)..

Storing the battery

• If the battery is not going to be used for an extended period, set the charge level to approximately 50 % of the maximum capacity and store it at temperatures up to max. 30 °C.

Environmental conditions

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