New Balance NB447 Leaflet

Your  New  Balance  Ear  Buds  feature  a  foldable  headband  for  compact  storage.  Unfold  the  headband 

completely, place it over your head and insert the “L” ear bud in your left ear and the “R” ear bud in your 

right ear. Adjust the length of the headband for the most comfortable and secure fit.

Your New Balance Sport Ear Buds were designed with a modular cord 

system.  We  have  provided  a  15”  iPod/iPhone  control  cable  that  is 

suitable if your music player will be worn in an armband or clipped to your 

clothing at chest level. We have also provided a 36” cable that is suitable 

if your music player will be clipped to your belt, placed in your pocket or 

carried in a fanny-pack. You may connect both cables together in case 

you want to control your iPod or iPhone and the 15” cable is not long 

enough.

Connect the male headphone plug of the ear buds to the female headphone jack of either the 15” or 36” 

headphone cable depending on your wearing preference. Then connect the male headphone plug of the 

15” or 36” cable to the headphone jack of your music player. Be sure that the plugs are fully inserted into 

the jacks. If the plug is not fully inserted you may only hear sound from one earpiece.

Connect the 15” iPod/iPhone cable between your headphones and your iPod/iPhone to perform the 

following operations with the remote controller mounted on the cable:

Your  New  Balance  Ear  Buds  are  also  supplied  with  a  silicon  sleeve  that  can  be  used  to  cover  the 

connection between the male headphone plug on the Ear Buds and the female headphone jack on the 15” 

or  36”  cable.  Use  this  connection  cover  if  you  routinely  use  your  Ear  Buds  in  extremely  wet  or  damp 

conditions.
Stretch the connection cover over the plug of the Ear Buds as shown. 

After connecting the male plug of the Ear Buds to the female jack on the

covers the plug and jack connection point to seal out excess moisture. 
Safety Information

To protect your hearing, always start listening with the Volume Control of 

your music player set to a low level and gradually increase the volume to 

a comfortable listening level. 
IMPORTANT! Listening at high volume for long periods of time can result 

in long-term hearing damage. For your safety, do not use headphones if 

they  would  prevent  you  from  hearing  warning  sounds,  such  as  while 

driving a car or motorcycle, riding a bike, etc.
NOTE:  In  extremely  cold  or  dry  air  conditions  you  may  notice  a  slight 

‘tingling’ feeling in your ears when using in-ear headphones. This is the 

result of the build-up of static electricity in your body. This is normal and 

not an indication of any problem with your headphones.
