Performance and Safety Tips
Listen Responsibly
To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the
volume on your music player is turned down
before connecting your headphones. After
placing headphones in / on your ears, gradually
turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable
listening level.
SOUND NOISE LEVEL (dB) EFFECT
Whisper 30 Very quiet
Quiet Office 50–60 Comfortable hearing levels are under 60 dB
Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer 70 Intrusive; interferes with telephone conversations
Food Blender 85–90 85 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.)
begins
Garbage Truck, 100 No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure
Cement Mixer recommended for sounds between 90–100 dB
Power Saw, Drill/ 110 Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of more than
Jackhammer 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss
Rock Concerts (varies) 110–140 Threshold of pain begins around 125 dB
Chart information obtained from www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/education/teachers/pages/common_sounds.aspx
Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure
to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual
hearing loss.
Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of
loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less
time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the
more time you can listen to it.
This decibel (dB) table compares some common
sounds and shows how they rank in potential
harm to hearing.
Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy
great audio performance even at safe levels. Our
headphones will allow you to hear more details at
lower volume levels than ever before.
Learn how to establish a safe listening level and
review other important safety guidelines from the
Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org.
Important information on how to prevent Noise-
Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) and a comprehensive
list of which noises can cause damage can be

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.
Headphones "Break-in"
Break in time for headphones? We're kidding,
right? No we're not. Like any high performance
product, whether it's cars or headphones, they're
mechanical devices that settle in after use. Your
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.
After 20 hours of playing, they should be fully
broken in. Enjoy.
