ROCK SAFELY
Enjoy your music responsibly. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association, “listening to headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time can
directly result in lifelong hearing loss”. We at V-MODA are dedicated to providing an
enjoyable listening experience, but we also care greatly about your personal health and
safety. We recommend that you listen to your headphones at comfortable volume levels for
reasonable periods of time.
How to enjoy your music responsibly.
•Turn down the volume. A good point of reference is half volume.
•Limit listening time. Give your hearing a “time out.”
Please visit v-moda.com and ASHA’s Listen To Your BudsTM campaign website at
listentoyourbuds.org to learn more about hearing safety.
Be aware of your surroundings. Do not use both earbuds during activities such as driving,
bicycling or jogging while on public roads. Many states have laws prohibiting such actions.
Obey local laws, be alert, and listen responsibly.
Caution around children. Keep out of reach of children, the parts included with this product
can be a choking hazard. This product is not intended for children under 7 years of age.

Using Your Sport Earhooks
To provide additional stability and minimize cable noise, use the included sport earhooks, which
feature Active Flex™ technology. The independent suspension allows the earbud seal to remain
intact and maintain the integrity of sound while flexing with every movement.
1. Start with earbud hanging about one inch below top of sport earhook (the curved
end). Insert headphone cable into exterior hooks, starting at the top hook moving
downward towards bottom hook.
2. Secure on ear by wrapping top of sport earhook around the top of your ear with
the bottom pointing towards your shoulder. Then insert earbud into your ear.
3. Sport earhooks provide ultimate stability and minimize cable noise during even
the most vigorous use.

guidelines below. If the problem persists, please contact the V-MODA customer service
department at v-moda.com/support or 1.888.VMODA.LA.
Trouble Suggestions
No audio Make certain the audio device’s headphone jack is free of debris
and that the headphone plug is securely connected.
Lack of or excessive bass or
treble
Turn off any audio enhancement features on audio device.
Ensure proper fitting is being used.
One earphone is quieter than
the other

possible there is debris inside housing, lodging sound driver in
place.) NOTE: do not put your mouth around earbud.
Distorted sound
Check to make sure the problem is not with the audio device or

that the driver is pointed directly towards the ear canal.

Cleaning Your Headphones
To keep your headphones clean, periodically remove the silicone fitting and wipe earpiece
with a dry cloth. Replace silicone fitting when done.
Replacement Accessories
Replacement silicone fittings, sport earhooks, shirt clip and carrying case may be ordered at
shop.v-moda.com.
Note on Static Electricity
In particularly dry air conditions, mild tingling may be felt on your ears. This is a result of
static electricity accumulated in the body, and not a malfunction of the headphones. The
effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from natural materials.
