running,or walking in heavy traffic areas.
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.
If you hear ringing or experience pain or discomfort in your ears during or
after using any in-ear audio product, that is a sign you are listening too loud. When
your ears are exposed to high volumes (in excess of 85dB) for over an hour, you
may be permanently damaging your hearing.
The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has issued headphone
usage recommendations for maximum daily exposure 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.
