IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can damage your hearing. To avoid injury, set the volume
to the lowest comfortable level. If you experience ringing in your ears, or voices sound muffled, stop using the headset. Avoid
turning up the volume to block noisy surroundings. Your ears may adapt to volume that is too high, which could result in permanent
hearing damage without any noticeable discomfort.
