Wearing the headphones

After removing the headphones from the case and unfolding them (see page 5.) put on
the headphones using the markings on the headband that identify the left (L) and right (R)
earcups.

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® on-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

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.
