Important Safety Information 1) If you hear ringing or experience pain or discomfort in your ears during or after using any in-ear audio product, that is a sign you are listening too loud. When your ears are exposed to high volumes (in excess of 85dB) for over an hour, you may be permanently damaging your hearing. 2) Turn down your listening device’s volume to zero before you insert the Klipsch headphones and turn on the device. Once you have the headphones in, gradually increase the volume to a comfortable, moderate volume. 3) Clean your headphones with an antiseptic wipe frequently to avoid wax buildup. This improves the acoustic quality of your headphones. 4) NEVER operate a motor vehicle while listening to or wearing your headphones. Not only dangerous, it is illegal in many places. 5) NEVER operate heavy machinery while listening to or wearing your headphones. 6) We don’t recommend you use the headphones while riding a bicycle, running, or walking in heavy traffic areas. If you do, do not fully insert the headphones into your ear and listen at a lower volume so you can hear ambient noise.

Listen Responsibly The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has issued headphone usage recommendations for maximum daily exposure and sound pressure levels (measured in decibels (dB)). A decibel is a unit of measure of sound, and decibels increase exponentially as sound gets louder. For example, conversational speech is typically around 60dB, and a rock concert in a stadium is often about 110dB.

ENGLISH OSHA Guidelines for Noise Exposure Limits Sound Pressure Level 90dB 95dB 100dB 105dB 110dB 115dB

120dB Recommended Maximum Exposure Per Day 8 Hours 4 Hours 2 Hours 1 Hour 30 Minutes 15 Minutes Avoid as damage may occur

Using the Klipsch Headphones Out of the box, the Klipsch headphones are fitted with the medium-sized gels. You can make adjustments later if the fit isn’t perfect.

Ensure that the indicator marks in the ear gel and nozzle line up. Important: Securely press the ear gel onto the headphone nozzle. The ear gel locks into place over the nozzle and should seat firmly against the nozzle's edge.

Headphone Nozzle's Edge

The left headphone is inscribed with an “L” and the right headphone is inscribed with an “R”. Now slide the oval gel into the ear to create a seal in your ear canal. You should hear very muffled ambient noise and your own voice should sound louder to you. A good seal ensures good bass response. If you do not feel that the Klipsch headphones are fitting comfortably inside your ear canals at this point, skip ahead to the next section “Selecting the Right Contour Ear Gels.” Locate the 3.5mm stereo plug at the end of the audio cord and insert it into your audio device. With the volume turned low, start playing music on your player and slowly increase the volume to a comfortable setting.

Selecting the Right Contour Ear Gels Your new Klipsch Headphone package contains five sets of our patent-pending Contour ear gels. Our research has indicated that almost 60% of users will prefer the single-flange, medium-sized gel, so that set is affixed to the headphones in the box. There are three sizes of single flange ear gels (small, medium, and large) and two sizes of double flange ear gels (small and large). Beyond fitting the headphone in your ear, the ear gel channels sound and forms a seal in your ear canal that allows the headphone to deliver a full range of audio frequencies. The flanges affect not only fit and comfort, but sound quality as well. Single Flange Ear Gels The single flange ear gels are general purpose gels. Most people will probably prefer these for everyday use. For example, if you 4

are going to ride a bicycle you should choose a single flange ear gel and wear it very loose in the ear so that you do not block ambient noise, such as other cyclists, cars, or other hazards. Double Flange Ear Gels The double flange ear gels can assist those with harder to fit ears because of their shape. They can also offer a tighter seal (more isolation) for even better acoustic quality, and are more secure in the ear, and may be better suited to physical activity (other than the kind that occurs in traffic). For example, you might choose double flange ear gels if you are a passenger on an airplane and want to block out as much ambient noise as possible.

Changing the Contour Ear Gels Start by removing the medium-sized gels currently on your headphones. With your thumb and index finger, squeeze the ear gel and pull it off the ear nozzle with a slight twisting action. Select your ear gel. There is an indicator line on the fitting inside the gel which lines up with an indicator line on the headphone’s ear nozzle. Press the ear gel onto the headphone nozzle. The gel locks into place over the nozzle, but still rotates so you can further customize the fit to your ears. Using the steps in the last section, take them for a test listen. Repeat the whole process until you find the gels that fit best.

Care and Cleaning The ear gels and nozzle must be kept clean to prevent wax buildup which will have an adverse effect on your listening experience. Simply clean the surface of the ear gels with an alcohol wipe and use the included cleaning tool to remove wax from the ear gels and nozzle.
