USER MANUAL DX 160 iE BEYERDYNAMIC

Warning: When connecting the in-ear headphone, make sure that you have

turned the volume down to the minimum. Adjust the volume only after the in-ear headphones are in place.To avoid any potential damage to your hearing, do not use the in-ear headphones at loud volumes for extended periods of time. As a rule of thumb, when you have the in-ear headphones on, set the volume to a level at which you can still hear your own voice when you speak at a normal volume while listening. We would like to point out that listening at high volumes over a long period of time may damage your hearing irreversibly. Make sure that the set volume is not too high. Rule of thumb: The higher the volume, the shorter the time of listening. According to employer’s regulations for safety and health the noise exposure should not exceed 85 dB (low volume) when working with an allowed time of listening of 8 hours at maximum. If the volume is increased by 3 dB, the allowed time of listening is halved, i.e. with 88 dB the time of listening is 4 hours, with 91 dB 2 hours and so on. Danger! In-ear headphones dramatically reduce your ability to hear ambient noise. Using the in-ear headphones while in road traffic is potentially very dangerous and is therefore prohibited by law. Also, please make sure that you do not use your in-ear headphones when in the vicinity of possibly dangerous machines and tools. Risk of injury! When wearing wired in-ear headphones, avoid any sudden movements. You could seriously injure yourself, especially if you have any piercings or wear earrings or glasses, etc. that can get caught in the wire.english 4 | 5 Altered auditory perception Many people need some time to get used to wearing in-ear headphones. Your auditory perception of your own voice and body, and even the sounds in your inner ear while walking, are different from “normal” situations when you are not wearing an in-ear headphone. This strange sensation will usually abate after wearing in-ear headphones for a while.

Selecting the right eartips Your in-ear headphone is supplied with different sets of eartips made of silicone or foamed material. Select the right size of eartips before using the in-ear headphone. You can find out which eartips fit best by trying on each of the different eartips one after another with the headphones, placing the eartips carefully inside your ear. The eartips are the right size if they do not fall out when you move your head moderately quickly and you can hear the low-frequency bass sounds clearly and ambient noises only slightly.
