FAQ’s
My new H2O Audio Interval Waterproof Headphone System sounds
distorted right out of the box. What should I do?
The waterproof headphones feature sealed, watertight speaker
chambers. During initial use, the 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 headphones
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. 1.
The sound is intermittent from my headphones. How can I fix or replace
them?
Ensure the audio jack inside of the shuffle case is plugged into the
shuffle completely. If the problem still continues please visit
www.h2oaudio.com or contact customer service for further instructions
on how to receive a replacement. 2.
What happens if the headphones fall out of my ears while in the water?
The Interval Waterproof Headphone System is 100% waterproof and
can be exposed / submerged in water for unlimited time periods. How-
ever, 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. 3.

The Interval Waterproof Headphone System features 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 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 perferable to use
different size earplugs for each ear.
For optimal performance, the earplugs need to completely seal with the walls of your ear
canals. Modifying the earplug size and its angle of insertion are important steps in creating
a watertight seal.
Larger size earplugs may be preferable during active and / or in water use as they may offer
more contact wth 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.
We encourage users to experiment with different earplug sizes until they find the
combination that works best for them.
