Blue Byrd – In-ear Headphones

Thank you for selecting the Blue BYRD in-ear headphones.
For your best possible listening experience, you will find a description on how to use your in-ear headphones.

Safety instructions

• Read these operating instructions carefully and completely before using the product.
•  Do not use the product when it is damaged.
•  Beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG will not be liable if any damage, injury or accident occurs due to negligent, incorrect or inappropriate operation of the product.

Avoid damage to your health and accidents

•  When you connect the in-ear headphones, please make sure that the volume level is set to a minimum. Adjust the volume level only after inserting the ear tips. To avoid possible hearing damage, do not use your in-ear headphones for extended periods of time at high volume.
•  We would like to point out that too high volumes and too long listening times can damage your hearing. Hearing damage is always an irreversible impairment of hearing. In-ear headphones can be up to 6-9 dB louder than classic headphones because they are directly in the ear canal, increasing the risk of hearing damage.
•  If you suffer from tinnitus, do not use headphones or reduce the volume.
•  Always ensure an adequate volume level. It is advisable to keep listening times as short as possible at high volume levels.  This also shows an example from working life: According to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations of German trade associations, noise pollution e.g. in the workplace must not exceed 85 dB (room volume level) during a maximum permissible listening time of 8 hours. If the volume level is increased by 3 dB respectively, the permissible listening time is cut in half, i.e. at 88 dB, the listening time is 4 hours, at 91 dB 2 hours, etc.
•  When using in-ear headphones, it is important to clean the eartips, as they quickly become dirty and increase the risk of ear  infection due to an increased number of germs in the ear. Since the in-ear devices isolate the ear canal, a warm and humid  “climate” is created in the ear increasing the multiplication of germs.
• Keep small parts such as product, packaging and accessories away from children and pets. Accidental ingestion may cause suffocation.
•  The Beyerdynamic MIY App allows you to personalize your Bluetooth® headphones. The App’s tracking function allows to use the of Bluetooth® headphones so that the headphones will not exceed a maximum of acoustic impact (“noise”) that is calculated from common, general findings. Please note that the Bluetooth® headphones and the MIY App can only register noise impact that is created by the headphones themselves; other, external sources of noise such as construction noise, concerts, etc. can of course not be considered in the calculation of acoustic impact. Therefore, the Bluetooth® headphone and the MIY App does not offer a summary of the entire exposure of your hearing. The MIY App only displays the acoustic load that is wirelessly transmitted via the  Bluetooth® headphone and allows to limit it to acceptable levels.

Danger to life!

•  In-ear headphones drastically reduce the perception of external sounds. Using 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. Please also make sure that you do not use the headphones in traffic, especially within an area of potentially dangerous machines and tools.
•  Furthermore, avoid using headphones in situations where hearing must not be affected, especially when crossing a railway crossing or at a construction site.

Changed acoustic perception

•  For many people, wearing in-ear headphones needs getting used to, because the acoustic perception of their own voice and of the body as well as inner ear sounds which occur while walking differ from the “normal” situation without in-ear  eadphones. However, this initially strange sensation usually diminishes after wearing them for a while.

Liability / intended use

• Do not use the product for any application which is not described in this product information. Beyerdynamic is not liable for improper use of the product and its accessories.

Battery warning

•  Do not disassemble.
