WARNING:
Except in case of emergency, Klipsch recommends you do not use these headphones or
headsets (headphones plus microphone) as aviation communication equipment as they are
not engineered for many environmental conditions common in commercial or non-commercial
aircraft (including, but not limited to: altitude, temperature, noise conditions, unpressurized
aircraft, etc.) resulting in possible interference to critical communications.
The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has issued headphone usage
recommendations for maximum dailyexposure and sound pressure levels (measured in
decibels (dB)). A decibel is a unit of measure of sound, and decibels increase exponentially as
sound gets louder. For example, conversational speech is typically around 60dB, and a rock
concert in a stadium is often about 110dB.
