Model: NB440
In-Ear Sport Earbuds with
Carabiner Cord Warp
The earpieces are marked “L” and “R”. Place the “L” earpiece in your left ear and the “R”
earpiece in your right ear for proper fit and best sound. If the earpieces are inserted incorrectly
they will not fit properly in your ears and the sound quality will not be satisfactory.
NOTE: Your NB440 headphones are supplied with three
different size silicon tips (S-M-L) for maximum comfort and to
seal out unwanted noise. The “M” (medium) size tips were
installed at our factory. If you find that the installed tips are too
small or too large for your ears, you may remove them and
replace them with the larger or smaller size accessory tips. To
replace the tips simply pull them off the earpieces.
To install different size tips, push them on to the earpieces and make sure they are fully seated
on each earpiece so that they do not come off when you remove the earpiece from your ear.
If one of the tips remains in your ear when you remove the headphones, remove the tip
carefully and avoid pushing it further into your ear canal. Seek medical assistance if one of the
tips becomes lodged in your ear and you are unable to remove it.
Connect the headphone plug to the headphone jack of your music player. Be sure that the
plug is fully inserted into the jack. If the plug is not fully inserted you may only hear sound from
one earpiece.
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. Remember that
noise isolation type earphones such as the NB440 are very effective in blocking outside noise,
including warning sounds. Always be aware of your surroundings and do not use these
earphones in situations that require you to hear warning sounds.
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.
Using Your New Balance Earbuds
Using the Accessory Cord Clip
Your New Balance ear hooks are supplied with a mini cord clip to
prevent excess movement of the cord while exercising. Insert the
cord into the small notch in the cord clip and then attach the clip to
your clothing to secure the cord.
