Q&A
1. What should I do if there is an unusual noise using the i5?
A. Disconnect the cable and shake gently to check for any persistent noise. If it continues, please contact our support team. B. Try different recordings to ensure the issue isn’t with the quality of the recording. C.Test with another source device to check if the source device is faulty.
2. How should I store the i5 when not in use?
A. Avoid storing in humid environments for extended periods. B.Keep the i5 away from places where it might fall off. C.Keep the i5 away from high-temperature areas.
3. What precautions should l take when using the i5?
A. Avoid compressing the ear pads hard. B. Do not press or poke the interior of the ear pads with fingers to prevent damage to its planar driver. C. Do not wear metal earrings or similar items while using the i5, as it contains magnets. D. Do not use speaker amplifiers to drive the i5.
4. Is burn-in necessary for the i5?
Burn-in is not mandatory for i5. Normal use over time may stabilize the diaphragm and enhance the sound performance, particularly in terms of bass extension and detail clarity. However, this process is not essential for sound quality.
