MONSTER iSport Wireless Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones
Important Monster® Performance and Safety Tips
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. This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they
rank in potential harm to hearing.
SOUND | NOISE LEVEL (dB) | EFFECT |
---|---|---|
Whisper | 30 | Very quiet |
Quiet Office | 50–60 | Comfortable hearing levels are under 60 dB |
Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer | 70 | Intrusive; interferes with telephone |
conversations
Food Blender| 85–90| 85 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.)
begins
Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer| 100| No more than 15 minutes of unprotected
exposure recommended for sounds between 90–100 dB
Power Saw, Drill/Jackhammer| 110| Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of
more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss
Rock Concerts (varies)| 110–140| Threshold of pain begins around 125 dB

Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even at safe levels. Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels than ever before. Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org. Important information on how to prevent NoiseInduced Hearing Loss (NIHL) and a comprehensive list of which noises can cause damage can be found on the Deafness Research Foundation’s website, www.drf.org.

Use Responsibly
Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle,
riding a bike, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment
where your full attention to your surroundings is required. It‘s dangerous to
drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it
decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle,
such as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens. Please avoid wearing
your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster’s FM transmitters to listen
to your mobile media devices instead.
Headphones “Break-in”
Break in time for headphones? We’re kidding, right? No we’re not. Like any
high-performance product, whether it’s cars or headphones, they’re mechanical
devices that settle in after use. Your new headphones will sound incredible
out of the box, but will “mellow” out after use and sound even better. We
recommend playing them for 8 hours. After 20 hours of playing, they should be
fully broken in. Enjoy.
