Safety Guide
Volume level is subjective and everyone perceives it differently. Listening to music for long periods at excessive levels can cause irreparable damage to your ears. Reduce the volume levels of the amplifier and/or audio device before listening to your headphones. Gradually increase the volume until the desired levels are reached. Enjoy your headphones with safe listening habits.
Always maintain a distance of at least 8 inches (20cm) between the headphones
and a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other medical devices
such as the SINE has permanent magnets.
Keep the product, accessories, and packaging out of reach of children. This
product is not intended for children under the age of 12 years old.
