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.

“.... a typical person can safely listen to an (digital music player) 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 is 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. Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.

Eartips and Maintenance

The tips on the ends of urBeats™ headphones make the difference between good sound and great sound. With the right fit, you'll receive 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 fit will also feel more comfortable. Because everyone's ears are unique, Beats supplies several sizes and designs of eartips. Finding the perfect fit with the correct tip is a matter of experimentation. Try out all the eartips included with your urBeats™ headphones to find the best fit for the size and shape of your ear canal. We recommend that you try the smallest tip first and work upwards in size until you find a comfortable fit which 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.

Eartip Fit Testing

A good way to gauge whether or not the eartip is sealing properly in your ear canal is by snapping your fingers right next to your ear. If the seal is correct, your ear will not feel "plugged", yet the snapping of your fingers will sound dull and distant. If you hear your finger snaps distinctly, the seal is probably not adequate. If the sound of your finger 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.

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 first, 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 finished your listening session, remove your in-ear headphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal.

Eartip Cleaning

Keeping urBeats™ eartips clean is essential for safe, hygienic use. IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to clean the eartips without first removing them from the headphones. Getting the delicate circuitry inside your UrBeats™ headphones wet may cause permanent damage.

1. Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the headphone 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 urBeats™ headphones, making sure they are on the ear tube completely.

IMPORTANT: Left and Right Headphone: Having the correct headphone side in the correct ear does affect the listening experience. Note the "L" and "R" markings on the side of each headphone.
