Care Tips
Rinse and Dry
- After each swim, turn off the SYRYN and remove the headphones from the headphone jack.
- Using fresh water, rinse off the SYRYN, including the inside of the headphone jack, as well as the headphones. This will help get any chlorine or salt off.
- Gently shake the water out of the headphone jack.
- Lightly pat dry the SYRYN and headphones. Let them air-dry for at least 12 hours.
Charging
- Allow the SYRYN to fully dry before charging.
- Only charge as needed, and only for 3-4 hours maximum.
Put Music On Your SYRYN
We make first-time setup easy. Simply select MAC or PC below to get started.

To open File Explorer, you can click on the file icon on the bottom of your screen, or you can hold the Windows key on your keyboard and press the letter E.
The SYRYN will be listed under USB devices. Your computer will probably only recognize the SYRYN as something generic like “USB” or “USB Drive”. In the office, our computers see the SYRYN as USB Drive (E:).
