Headphones – Safety Instructions
Risk of injury!
When you connect the headphones, please make sure that the volume level is set to minimum.
Adjust the volume level only after putting on the headphones.
We would like to point out that excessively high volumes and long listening times may cause hearing
damage. Hearing defects always constitute an irreversible impairment of hearing ability. If you suffer
from tinnitus, do not use headphones or reduce the volume.
Always ensure an adequate volume level. It is advisable to keep listening times as short as possible
at high volume levels. According to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations of German
trade associations BGV B3, noise pollution e.g. in the workplace must not exceed 85 dB (room
volume level) during a maximum permissible listening time of 8 hours. If the volume level is
increased by 3 dB respectively, the permissible listening time is cut in half, i.e. at 88 dB, the
listening time is 4 hours, at 91 dB 2 hours, etc.
Avoid sudden movements when using wired headphones. You might seriously hurt yourself especially
if you wear piercings, earrings, glasses, etc., where the wire can get caught.
Danger to life!
Headphones drastically reduce perception of external sounds. Using headphones in road traffic can
be potentially dangerous. The user's hearing must not be impaired to the extent that it causes road
safety risks. Please also make sure that you do not use the headphones in traffic, especially within
an area of potentially dangerous machines and tools.
Furthermore, avoid using headphones in situations where hearing must not be affected, especially
when crossing a railway crossing or at a construction site.
beyerdynamic MIY App
The beyerdynamic MIY App allows you to personalise your Bluetooth headphones. The App's
tracking function allows to use the Bluetooth headphones so that the headphones will not exceed
a maximum of acoustic impact ("noise") that is calculated from common, general findings. Please
note that the Bluetooth headphones and the MIY App can only register noise impact that is created
by the headphones themselves; other, external sources of noise such as construction noise, concerts,
etc. can of course not be considered in the calculation of acoustic impact. Therefore, the Bluetooth
headphones and the MIY App do not offer a summary of the entire exposure of your hearing. The
MIY App only displays the acoustic load that is wirelessly transmitted via the Bluetooth headphones
and allows to limit it to acceptable levels.
