PLAY HEADPHONES AT 90% VOLUME FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE INITIAL USE.
Caution: Listening to music at high volume may damage your hearing.
H2O Audio Surge Waterproof Headphones feature sealed, watertight speaker chambers. During initial
use, your headphones may sound distorted or operate at a low audio level due to a vacuum formed in
the speaker chamber during air travel or shipement. Volume and sound quality will return to normal
once the pressure equalizes. Playing the headset at 90% volume for 30 minutes typically solves this
problem. If the problem still occurs, wait 24 hours and test again as the headphones will usually
equalize within a short period of time. If your headphones do not equalize or if you have any questions,
please contact H2O Audio Customer Service at 800-708-6080 or [email protected].

1. My new Surge Headphones sound distorted
right out of the box. What should I do?
Surge Waterproof Headphones feature ergonomic
earplugs designed to isolate sound and provide a
watertight seal. The headphones are packaged with
medium earplugs installed. Extra small, small, large and
extra large earplugs are also included. The insides of
the earplugs are labeled to aid in identification.
Surge Headphones feature sealed, watertight speaker
chambers. During initial use, your headphones may
sound distorted or operate at very low audio levels due
to a vacuum formed in the speaker chamber during air
travel or shipment. Volume and sound quality will
return to normal once the pressure equalizes. Playing
the headset at 90% volume for 30min typically solves
this problem. If the problem still occurs, wait 24 hours
and test again as the headphones will usually equalize
within a short period of time.
The earplugs should be pushed into your ear canals far
enough to establish a secure fit but not so far that they
become uncomfortable. Some users may find it
L a i r d H a m i l t o n S i g n a t u r e S e r i e s
W a t e r p r o o f H e a d p h o n e s
preferable to use different size earplugs for each ear.
If your headphones do not equalize or if you have any
questions, please contact H2O Audio Customer Service
at 800-708-6080 or [email protected]
For optimal performance, the earplugs need to
completely seal with the walls of your ear canals.
Modifying the earplugs size and its angle of insertion
are important steps in creating a watertight seal.

Ensure the waterproof headphones are plugged in
completely. If the problem still continues please contact
H2O Audio Customer Service for further instructions on
how to receive replacement headphones.
Larger size earplugs may be preferable during active
and / or in water use as they may offer more contact
with the ear and may improve the watertight seal.
A watertight seal is best achieved when the earplugs
are inserted into your ears when dry. If your ear canals
are wet you may find larger earplugs provide a better
seal.

periods. However, if the headphones come out of your
ears and fall into the water, simply shake or blow off
any surface water that may remain in the earplug. This
will help ensure the best sound experience.
