At SOL REPUBLIC, we're committed to providing you an incredible music experience for
many years to come. 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 recommend that you listen to your headphones at comfort-
able volume levels for reasonable periods of time.
