Getting the Best Sound
Getting the best sound from your Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic requires using the eartips that provide the best seal. Try all three sizes (S, M, L) in each ear, and choose the ones that are snug and comfortable. When the fit is right, music should have a rich bass sound.
Cleaning or Replacing the Mesh Caps
The mesh caps protect the headphone speakers from dirt and damage. If the mesh caps become clogged or the sound becomes muffled, clean or replace them (an extra pair is included).
To clean the mesh caps, first, remove the silicone ear tips, then unscrew the mesh caps from the headphones, and brush them with mild soap and water to make sure the wire mesh is completely unclogged. Dry the mesh caps thoroughly before screwing them securely back onto the headphones and replacing the silicone ear tips.
Important Safety Information
Avoid Hearing Loss
WARNING:
Permanent hearing loss may occur if headphones are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound, which may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set the volume to a safe level before that happens. If you experience ringing in your ears or speech sounds muffled, reduce the volume or discontinue the use of your headphones and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing
- Limit the amount of time you use headphones at high volume.
- Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
- Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
Keep Out of Reach of Children
WARNING:
The small parts included with this product can be a choking hazard. This product is not intended for use by small children and should be kept away from children under 3 years of age.
Do Not Use While Driving
Important:
The use of earphones while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Check and obey the applicable laws and regulations on the use of earphones while operating a vehicle. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop listening to your audio device if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing another activity that requires your full attention.
In Case of Skin Irritation
Earphones can lead to ear infections if not properly cleaned. Clean the earbuds frequently with an antiseptic, such as isopropyl alcohol. If a skin problem develops, discontinue use. If the problem persists, consult a physician. More information about the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic is available at: www.apple.com/support
Avoid Electrostatic Shock
When using headphones in areas where the air is very dry, it is easy to build up static electricity, and possible for your ear to receive a small electrostatic discharge from the headphones. To minimize the risks of electrostatic discharge from the headphones, avoid using the headphones in extremely dry environments, or touching a grounded unpainted metal object before inserting the headphones.

Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers, other than Apple, may provide their warranties to the end user purchaser, but Apple, in so far as permitted by law, provides their products “as is.”
Software distributed by Apple with or without the Apple brand name (including, but not limited to system software) is not covered under this Limited Warranty. Refer to the licensing agreement accompanying the software for details of your rights concerning its use. Apple does not warrant that the operation of the product will be uninterrupted or error-free.

When contacting Apple via telephone, other charges may apply depending on your location. When calling, an Apple representative or AASP will help determine whether your product requires service and, if it does, will inform you how Apple will provide it.

Apple repair service location for service, (ii) by sending you prepaid way bills (and if you no longer have the original packaging, Apple may send you packaging material) to enable you to ship the product to Apple’s repair service location for service, or (iii) by sending you new or refurbished customer-installable replacement product or parts to enable you to service or exchange your own product (“DIY Service”). Upon receipt of the replacement product or part, the original product or part becomes the property of Apple and you agree to follow instructions, including, if required, arranging the return of the original product or part to Apple promptly.
When providing DIY Services requiring the return of the original product or part, Apple may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement product or part and applicable shipping costs.
