Use Responsibly
Do not use headphones when it's unsafe to do so –
while operating a vehicle, riding a bike, crossing
streets, or during any activity or in an environment
where your full attention to your surroundings
is required.
It's dangerous to drive while wearing headphones,
and in many places, illegal because it decreases
your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside
of your vehicle, such as another car's horn and
emergency vehicle sirens.
Please avoid wearing your headphones while
driving. Use one of Monster's FM transmitters to
listen to your mobile media devices instead.
Cochlear Nerve
Headphones "Break-in"
Break in time for headphones? We're kidding,
right? No we're not. Like any high performance
Cochlea
product, whether it's cars or headphones, they're
mechanical devices that settle in after use. Your
Vestibule
new headphones will sound incredible out of the
box, but will "mellow" out after use and sound even
better. We recommend playing them for 8 hours.
To Nose/Throat
After 20 hours of playing, they should be fully
broken in. Enjoy.
