Important Safety Information

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.

Physiology of the Ear

 

English

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 Offce	50-60	Comfortable hearing levels are under 60dB
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 Concert (varies)	110-140	Threshold of pain begins around 125 dB

 
 

English

“…. a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume.”

“…. knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important.”

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.

Use Responsibly

Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so—while operating a vehicle, 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 an FM transmitter to listen to your mobile media devices instead.

Eartips and Maintenance

Eartip Selection

 

The tips on the ends of your Tour headphones make the difference between

good sound and great sound. With the right ft, you’ll get better isolation from

unwanted outside noise, increased bass response, better tonal balance and

the headphones will stay in your ears better. Of course, the right ft will also

feel more comfortable. Because everyone’s ears are unique, Beats supplies

several sizes and designs of eartips. Getting the perfect ft with the correct tip

is a matter of experimentation. Try out all the eartips included with your Tour

headphones to fnd the best ft for the size and shape of your ear canal. We

recommend that you try the smallest tip frst and work upwards in size until you fnd a comfortable ft that has a good seal and also stays in your ears without

falling out. Also try different style tips to see which works best for you.

English

Eartip Fit Testing

A good way to gauge whether or not the eartip is sealing properly in your ear

canal is by snapping your fngers right next to your ear. If the seal is proper,

your ear will not feel “plugged,” yet the snapping of your fngers will sound dull and distant. If you hear your fnger snaps distinctly, the seal is probably not adequate. If the sound of your fnger snapping is dull and distant, but your ear feels plugged up, like you’re on an airplane preparing to land, then you’ve

over-inserted the eartip.

English

Proper Insertion and Removal of Eartips

1. You may wish to lightly moisten your eartips for easier insertion.

2. Using your right hand, grasp the right headphone.

3. With your left hand, pull up and back on your right ear to straighten your

     ear canal.

4. Carefully insert your right headphone,

 rubber eartip frst, so that it seals

 completely and comfortably in your

 ear. DO NOT insert the eartip so deeply

 that your ear canal feels completely

 “plugged.”

5. Repeat this procedure for your left ear.

6. When you’ve fnished your listening

session, remove your in-ear headphones

slowly with a twisting motion to gradually

break the seal.

English

Eartip Cleaning

Keeping your Tour eartips clean is essential for safe, hygienic use. IMPORTANT:DO NOT attempt to clean the eartips without frst removing them from the headphones. Getting the delicate circuitry inside your Tour headphones wetmay cause permanent damage.

1. Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other.

Carefully remove the eartip from the ear tube.

2. Use warm water and mild soap on a damp cloth to remove dirt and earwax

from the eartip. Do NOT use harsh cleaning agents.

3. Rinse and completely dry your eartips before placing them back on your

headphones.

4. Carefully push the eartips back onto the Tour headphones, making sure they are on the ear tube completely.
