v-moda CROSSFADE II Wireless

ROCK SAFELY

Enjoy your music responsibly. According to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association, “listening to headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time can directly result in lifelong hearing loss”. At V-MODA, we are dedicated to providing an enjoyable listening experience, but we also care greatly about your personal health and safety. We recommend that you listen to your headphones at comfortable volume levels for reasonable periods of time.

How to enjoy your music responsibly.

Turn down the volume. A good point of reference is half volume
Limit listening time. Give your hearing a “time out”

Be aware of your surroundings. Do not use headphones during activities such as driving, bicycling or jogging while on public roads. Many states have laws prohibiting such actions. Obey local laws, be alert, and listen responsibly.

Caution around children. Keep out of reach of children, the parts included with this product can be a choking hazard. This product is not intended for children under 7 years of age.

WELCOME

Welcome to V-MODA, the music lifestyle. We sincerely hope you enjoy our headphones, the pinnacle of sound and quality design. With the essence of music at the foundation of all we do, we have precisely engineered our headphones to provide an enjoyable and natural sound signature, which invokes the sense of listening to your music live. Play Hard. Rock Harder.
