English
Thank you for choosing Xelento wireless (2nd generation) in-ear headphones.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
►Please read these inructions carefully and completely before using the product.
►Please observe all inructions given, especially those concerning the safe use of the
product.
►Do not use the product if it is defective.
►The company beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG accepts no liability for damage to the
product or injury to persons caused by careless, improper or incorrect use of the
product, or by use for purposes not specified by the manufacturer.
Intended use
Only use the product as described in this product manual. beyerdynamic accepts no
liability for damage to the product or injury to persons caused by careless, improper or
incorrect use of the product, or by use for purposes not specified by the manufacturer.
beyerdynamic is not liable for damage to USB devices that do not comply with the USB
specifications.
beyerdynamic is not liable for damage resulting from connection interruptions due to
batteries being empty or too old, or due to exceeding the Bluetooth® transmission range.
Please also observe the relevant country-specific regulations before using the product.
Adjuing the volume
High volumes and long liening times can permanently damage your hearing.
Because in-ear headphones sit directly in the ear canal, there is an increased
risk of hearing damage.
►Before inseing the earphones, set the volume to minimum. Only increase the volume
aer inseing the earphones.
►Do not use the in-ear headphones at high volume for a long time. When liening and
speaking normally with in-ear headphones, your own voice should ill be perceptible.
►In case of tinnitus, decrease the volume. If necessary, consult a doctor.
►Please note that excessively high volumes and long liening times may cause hearing
damage. Hearing impairments are irreversible, so always make sure that the volume is
appropriate. It is advisable to keep liening times at high volumes as sho as possi-
ble.
►The headphones are not suitable for children under 12 years of age due to the possible
high sound pressure level.
►Do not use the headphones at full volume for more than three hours a week.
You can use the beyerdynamic MIY App to personalise the Bluetooth® headphones. The
app’s “Statiics” function records the sound pressure level your ears are exposed to over
time. However, it only refers to the sound pressure level generated through the head-
phones’ speakers and not to that from external sources of noise.

8/30 Safety inructions
Reducing perception of ambient noise
In-ear headphones draically reduce perception of ambient noise. Using in-ear
headphones in road traic can be potentially dangerous. The user’s hearing mu not be
impaired to the extent that it causes road safety risks.
►Do not use the in-ear headphones within the action area of potentially dangerous
machines and tools.
►Avoid using in-ear headphones in situations where hearing mu not be impaired –
paicularly in road traic, when crossing a level crossing or on a conruction site.
Changed acouic perception
For many people, wearing in-ear headphones takes some getting used to because the
acouic perception of their own voice and body as well as the inner ear sounds that
occur while walking is dierent from the “normal” situation without in-ear headphones.
However, this initially range sensation usually diminishes aer wearing them for a while.
Cleaning diy eaips
Di on the eaips and the formation of a warm and humid climate in the ear canal can
cause germs to multiply, which can increase the risk of an ear canal infection.
►Regularly clean the eaips.
Damage from liquids
Liquid penetration can damage the earphones.
►Make sure that no liquids penetrate the earphones (e.g. when cleaning).
Solvent-based or aggressive cleaning agents can damage the suaces of the earphones
or the cable.
►Do not use solvent-based or aggressive cleaning agents.
Risk of swallowing
►Keep small pas, such as product, packaging and accessories, away from children
and pets. They conitute a choking hazard if swallowed.
Power and connecting cable
Use only the cable we supply to connect the unit for both charging and connecting to a
laptop.
Using the batteries
Danger from heat, water and mechanical ress
Excessive heat, water and mechanical ress may cause explosion, heat, fire, smoke or
fumes. Injuries and irreversible damage to the battery may result.
►Do not expose the battery to excessive heat, direct sunlight or fire. There is a risk of
explosion, fire, smoke or gas.

9/30About this manual
English

irreversible damage to the battery, or explosion or injury.
►Do not open the housing or remove the battery.
►Only use a USB 2.0/3.0 andard-compliant 5 V power supply to charge the battery via
the integrated USB Type-C po.

FIRST STEPS.
Using and fitting the eaips
So that you can choose the be possible fit and comfo, your Xelento in-ear headphones
come with eaips in ten dierent sizes and two dierent materials.
Every ear is unique, and the size of the eaip required may vary from one ear to another.
Please take the time to try out dierent sizes and pick the mo suitable one – it’s woh
the eo!

►Carefully place the silicone eaips on the housings.
The oval opening of the eaip follows the oval shape of
the housing.
Adjuing and fitting Comply™ eaips
►Before inseing, roll the eaip attached to the earphone
tightly lengthwise between your fingers.
Aer inseion, the eaips expand again and provide
good suppo for the earphone, even when you are
moving.

Removing Comply™ eaips
►To remove Comply™ eaips, squeeze them firmly and
pull them o the housing with a slight twiing motion.
Replacing eaips
If you are using them regularly, we recommend changing the eaips every three months.
Replacement silicone eaips can be ordered from the beyerdynamic spare pas shop:
www.beyerdynamic.com/service/spare-pas
Replacement Comply™ foam eaips, together with dealers where you can order the
eaips, can be found online at: www.complyfoam.com
Eaip types used: Tx-500
1. Carefully remove the eaip from the earphone.
Diy sound outlets can be cleaned by replacing the small
wax guard grilles.
►Use the enclosed microfibre cleaning cloth to clean the
earphone’s sound outlet of residues.
►Make sure that no liquid flows into the outlet.
2. Put the new eaip on the earphone.

13/30Inseing and wearing Xelento Wireless
English
Eaip care
The eaips on your in-ear headphones should be cleaned regularly and then dried with
the microfibre cleaning cloth provided.
►For cleaning inructions, see “Cleaning” on page 27.
INSERTING AND WEARING XELENTO WIRELESS
Due to the anatomical shape of the earphone housing, the cable of the Xelento wireless
is routed behind the ear. This way of wearing the earphones eectively suppresses cable
noise, and the earphones sit firmly in the ear even when the cable is pulled.
►Inse the earphones into your ears and guide the cable
upwards behind your ears.
The right-hand cable end has a small, raised dot to mark
the right-hand side.
Cable clip
You can use the cable clip supplied to secure the jack lead of your Xelento wireless in-ear
headphones.
This prevents the cable from getting tangled and avoids unwanted noise when using the
microphone, for example, while talking on the phone.

14/30 Attaching and changing the cable
ATTACHING AND CHANGING THE CABLE
Xelento wireless in-ear headphones have plug-in cables on the earphone housings with
andard MMCX connectors with locking mechanisms.
When detaching or attaching the cable on the Xelento wireless earphones or the play-
back device, always hold the cable by the connector to avoid damaging the cable or
earphones. Do not pull directly on the cable!
Detaching / attaching the cable on the earphone
1. To detach or attach the cable, hold the in-ear
headphones by the earphone housing and the plug.
Never pull directly on the cable! The cable or the
earphone may be damaged if you do!
2. Detach the cable.
3. Attach the cable.
Detaching / attaching the jack lead on the playback
device
►Hold the lead by the jack plug and detach or attach.

15/30Charging the battery
English
