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”. At V-MODA, we 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”

Be aware of your surroundings 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.
