SafeSound

With the by-packed earphones, SafeSound allows you to listen to music in a safe way. When you listen to music through the earphones, the sound pressure on your ears is estimated¹ based on the electrical characteristics of the player and earphones; Then, the estimate is compared against the reference levels² of sound pressure; As a result, icons of different colors can be displayed to indicate status of sound pressure and the levels of risks to hearing damage.

Tip

•¹The methodology is based on European norm (50332-1/2).

•²The reference levels come from the minimum requirement for health and safety that the European directive 2003/10/EC provides for the noises exposed to individuals.

Switch onSafeSound

•In [SafeSound], select [On]. Monitor current status of sound pressure During music play, check the color of the icon to monitor current status of sound pressure. Accordingly, have a break or adjust the volume level when you listen to music in the volume over a certain period of time.
