WARNING
To protect your hearing, follow the below guidelines when using headphones.
Do not listen at an extremely high volume level. Extended high volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Turn the volume down before listening to headphones. Once you begin
listening, adjust volume up to your desired sound level. This prevents
the headphones from suddenly activating at a high level.
Once you set the volume level, do not increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level. So a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.
