SafeSound
With the 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.
