Responsible Usage Guidelines

At Bandou, we prioritize the well-being of our users, particularly our young listeners. To ensure the safe and enjoyable use of our product, we advocate for responsible usage practices. Please adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Moderate Usage: Bandou headphones are designed for balanced use. Avoid prolonged listening sessions at maximum volume settings.
  2. Sound Level Recommendations: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), maintaining a continuous sound level below 70 dBA for music through headphones is advisable. A maximum of 85 dBA for up to an hour is acceptable. For context, 70 dBA is approximately equivalent to the volume of a running washing machine or dishwasher, providing a safe listening experience for any duration.
  3. Built-in Volume Limit: Every pair of Bandou™ headphones is equipped with a built-in volume limiter set at 90 dBA, enhancing safety during use.
  4. Age Consideration: For children aged 3 years or younger, we recommend utilizing the Bluetooth function exclusively and refraining from using the provided cable. This precaution is to ensure optimal safety and comfort for our youngest users.
  5. Additional Safety Measures: Should you desire an extra layer of precaution, please don't hesitate to contact us at Support@mybandou.com. Our team is available to assist you in configuring volume limits on your iOS or Android device.

Prioritizing responsible usage not only ensures the longevity of your Bandou headphones but also safeguards the auditory health of your loved ones. Thank you for choosing Bandou, where safety and enjoyment converge seamlessly.
