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 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, less time you can be exposed
to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer
to the chart* below.
This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and
shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.
“…. 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
one of Monster’s FM transmitters to listen to your mobile
media devices instead.
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.

Turn down the volume on your music player before inserting

Écoutez de manière responsable.
Pour éviter d’endommager votre audition, veillez à baisser
le volume de votre lecteur de musique avant de brancher
vos écouteurs. Après avoir placé les écouteurs dans vos
oreilles, augmentez progressivement le volume jusqu’à
atteindre un niveau d’écoute agréable.
Les niveaux sonores sont mesurés en décibels (dB), toute
exposition sonore égale ou supérieure à 85 dB peut
engendrer la perte progressive de l’ouïe.
Surveillez votre utilisation, la perte de l’ouïe dépend
de l’intensité du son sur la durée. Plus le volume sera
important, moins votre capacité d’exposition durera. Plus le
volume sera faible, plus la durée de votre exposition sera
importante. Veuillez vous référer au tableau ci-dessous.
Le tableau de décibels (dB) suivant compare certains sons
communs et classe les dommages potentiels à l’audition.
