Wearing the headphones

Put on the headphones using the markings which identify the left (L)
and right (R) earcups. Adjust the headband so it rests gently on top of
your head and the earcup cushions fit comfortably around your ears.

Connecting to an audio device

The Bose around-ear headphones connect with almost any audio
device – CD/DVD/MP3 players, personal computers and home stereo
equipment.

Insert the headphone plug securely into the audio output (not the line
output) jack of the selected audio device. With some home stereo
equipment, the 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) adapter may be needed.

English

Using the “enhancement” features of audio devices

Many portable audio devices include features or settings which
electronically alter the audio signal sent to the headphones. These
may include “bass boost” or other EQ settings. Other features may
serve to limit volume out such as “sound check” or “volume limit.”
Finally, other features add spatialization effects such as “Surround”,
“SMS”, “WOW”, or “3D.”

The Bose around-ear headphones were designed to deliver high
quality, balanced sound and deep, low notes without the need for any
artificial enhancement. Therefore, when using the headphones we
recommend that you first turn off all the enhancement features before
making any personal adjustments to the audio settings.

Cleaning the headphones

The Bose around-ear headphones do not require scheduled cleaning.
Should cleaning be necessary, simply wipe the outside surfaces with a
damp cloth. Be sure the earcup ports are kept clear, and that no
moisture is allowed to get inside the earcup.

Replacement parts and accessories

Accessories or replacement parts can be ordered through Bose
Customer Service. See the contact information for your area included

Reattaching earcup cushions

The earcup cushions are held in place by
a mounting flange which snaps under
small tabs located around the inside rim
of the earcup. If an earcup cushion
becomes partially or completely
detached, push the mounting flange of
the earcup cushion back into the earcup.
Using your finger or thumb, press around
the edge of the mounting flange, making
sure it snaps in place all the way around
the earcup.
