headphones with care while listening to music.
3) Please do not play music loudly in public. This may affect your hearing and people around
you.
4) Long-term exposure, repeated exposure to music or other noisy environments may result in
temporary or permanent noise-induced hearing loss.

you may not even be aware of the loss unless it is detected through a hearing test.
6) To protect your hearing, please adjust the volume so that the sound coming out of the
earphones is appropriate. When you can listen to the music clearly, it is recommended to set
a lower volume as much as possible. Studies have shown that when people's ears are in an
