Adjusting the volume

High volume levels and long listening times
can permanently damage your hearing.
Because in-ear headphones are placed
directly in the ear canal, they can become
6–9 dB louder than conventional headphones, and this
increases the risk of hearing damage.
► Before inserting the earphones, set the volume to
minimum. Only increase the volume after inserting the
earphones.
► Do not use the in-ear headphones at high volume for
a long time. When listening and speaking normally
with in-ear headphones, your own voice should still be
perceptible.
► In case of tinnitus, reduce the volume. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
You can personalise your Bluetooth® headphones with
the beyerdynamic MIY app. The app's "Statistics" function
records the sound pressure your ears are exposed to
over time. However, it only refers to the sound pressure
generated through the headphones' speakers and not to
that from external sources of noise.

Reducing perception of ambient noise

In-ear headphones drastically reduce perception of
ambient noise. Using in-ear 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.
► Do not use the in-ear headphones within the action
area of potentially dangerous machines and tools.
► Avoid using in-ear headphones in situations where
hearing must not be impaired – particularly in
road traffic, when crossing a level crossing or on a
construction site.
Blue BYRD ANC (2nd generation)

ANC function

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) suppresses outside noise.
► Never use the headphones with ANC in situations
where hearing must not be impaired and where doing
so would pose a danger to yourself or others, such as
driving a car, riding a bicycle, crossing a railway cros-
sing or walking near traffic.
► Remove the headphones, or use them without noise
cancellation and adjust the volume to ensure that you
can hear outside sounds such as alarms and warning
signals.
► Please note that sounds such as alarms or warning
signals may sound different when you are wearing
headphones.

Changed acoustic perception

For many people, wearing in-ear headphones takes some
getting used to because the acoustic perception of their
own voice and body as well as the inner ear sounds that
occur while walking is different from the "normal" situation
without in-ear headphones. However, this initially strange
sensation usually diminishes after wearing them for a
while.

Cleaning

Dirt on the eartips and the formation of a warm and
humid climate in the ear canal can cause an increased
level of germs, which can increase the risk of an ear canal
infection.
► Regularly clean the eartips.

Risk of swallowing

► Keep small parts, such as product, packaging and
accessories, away from children and pets. They
constitute a choking hazard if swallowed!

Using the batteries

Danger from heat, water and mechanical stress
Excessive heat, water and mechanical stress may
cause explosion, heat, fire, smoke or fumes. Injuries and
irreversible damage to the battery may result.
► Do not expose the battery (battery pack or integrated
battery) to excessive heat, direct sunlight or fire.
► Do not open the housing or disassemble the battery.
► Do not use the battery if there is a risk it has come into
contact with water.
► Only use a USB 2.0/3.0-standard-compliant 5 V power
supply unit to charge the battery via the integrated
USB socket type C (current consumption is max. 0.5 A).
Storing the battery
► If the battery is not going to be used for an extended
period, set the charge level to approximately 50 % of
the maximum capacity and store it at temperatures up
to max. 30 °C.

Environmental conditions

► Do not expose the product to rain, snow, liquids or
moisture.
