Road Safety
Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized
vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be
potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuously loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.
Consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sound and to be
considerate of the people around you.
