CUSTOM STREET – User Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of a set of beyerdynamic CUSTOM
series headphones. We would like to thank you for demonstrating your
confidence in our brand. Before using your headphones for the first time,
please take a moment to carefully read the following information.

Safety Instructions
Warning: When connecting the headphones, make sure that you have

turned the volume down to the minimum. Adjust the
volume onlyafter the headphones are in place.
We would like to point out that listening at high volumes
over a longperiod of time may damage your hearing

irreversibly.
Make sure that the set volume is not too high. Rule of thumb: The
higher the volume, the shorter the time of listening. According to
employer’s regulations for safety and health the noise exposure should
not exceed 85 dB (low volume) when working with an allowed time of
listening of 8 hours at maximum. If the volume is increased by 3 dB, the
allowed time of listening is halved, i.e. with 88 dB the time of listening
is 4 hours, with 91 dB 2 hours and so on.

Danger!

Headphones dramatically reduce your ability to hear ambient noise.
Using the headphones while in road traffic is potentially very dangerous
and is therefore prohibited by law. Also, please make sure that you do not
use your headphones when in the vicinity of possibly dangerous machines
and tools.

Risk of injury!

When wearing wired headphones, avoid any sudden movements. You
could seriously injure yourself, especially if you have any piercings or
wear earrings or glasses, etc. that can get caught in the wire.

Characteristics and Use

The CUSTOM series represents an entirely new concept which transforms
the experience of listening to music via headphones into an interactive
event. Thanks to CUSTOM sound, CUSTOM style and the CUSTOM
cable, the headphones can be adapted at any given time to any given
requirements – providing an all-in-one solution for almost any scenario.

CUSTOM Sound Slider

The CUSTOM sound sliders ensure that your listening experience couldn’t
be more individual. Variable bass reflex vents on the side of the housing
shells incrementally alter the audio characteristics of the headphones in
three stages.
The following settings are possible using the CUSTOM sound slider on
the right and left housing shell:

Pos. 1: “Linear” Pos. 2: “Standard” Pos. 3: “Heavy Bass”

CUSTOM Noise Isolation

A further feature of the innovative CUSTOM sound slider: closing the head­phones gradually increases sound isolation. Ambient noise such as the
humming of aeroplane engines or street noise is attenuated considerably.

CUSTOM Cable

The cable couldn’t be more flexible – and just like the covers, can be
modified with ease. At www.beyerdynamic.com you will find a gooseneck
microphone, which can be used for gaming sessions and internet phone
calls, as well as a coiled cable.

Changing the Cable

1. Pull the cable, which is connected at one side, out of the headphones.

2. When inserting the new cable, make sure that the slot in the

connector housing is turned towards the detent in the housing shell.

How to Use the Remote Control/Microphone

When you receive a call, also via internet (e.g. online phone
calls or in-game chats), you can operate the integrated
microphone as follows:

Press button: Answers the phone call
Press button again: Ends the phone call

With some mobile phones you have to press the button a little
bit longer to end the phone call.

Depending on the software of the mobile phone or player
(e.g. MP3 player) you can use the microphone button for
controlling other functions such as playing music.

Maintenance

For reasons of hygiene, the ear pads and headband should be cleaned
occasionally with a soft damp cloth. Take care that water does not come
into contact with the transducers. You may need to change the ear and
headband pads from time to time as a result of normal wear and tear.
This is easy to do yourself. In the event that other components need to
be replaced, please contact your local beyerdynamic representative.
