Important Performance and Safety

Tips for your Headphones

Listen Responsibly

To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.

Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.

Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* below.

This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows

how they rank in potential harm to hearing.

“…a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume.” “…knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important.”

Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even at safe levels. Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels than ever before.

Use Responsibly

Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.

It ‘s dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens.

Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster’s FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.

Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.

ENGLISH

Connect

To connect your Beats Pro™ headphones, plug the straight 1/8-inch connector (the end furthest from the coiled section of cable) into the port at the bottom of the earcup of your choice and then twist it to lock it in. Both earcup sides serve as an input, so pick the side that is most comfortable for you.

Plug the right-angle 1/8-inch connector into the audio output port on your audio gear.

1/4-inch adaptor: If your audio gear uses a 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) output port, use the included 1/4-inch adaptor which is tethered to the 1/8-inch right-angle connector.

Please note that the adaptor and 1/8-inch jack are threaded. To avoid stripping the treads, gently screw on the adaptor without forcing. It should screw on easily and will stop spinning when it’s fully installed.

Listen

Turn down the volume on your music player or gear before putting on Beats Pro™ headphones.

Note the “L” and “R” markings above the inside of each earcup. “L” is for the left ear. “R” is for the right ear.

ENGLISH

Flip

Beats Pro™ feature spinning hinges above both earcups that give you the ability to simply ﬂip up the earcups to listen to house noise through one ear without having to remove your headphones. To use the ﬂip-up earcups, ﬁrst make sure the earcups are over the correct ears. Grasp the outside of the earcup and rotate it backwards. You will feel multiple catch points while ﬂipping. Leave the earcup in the catch point that is most comfortable for you. If the earcup does not ﬂip backwards, but ﬂips forward, your headphones are reversed.

Fold

To store Beats Pro,™ remove your headphone cable. Using the same spinning hinges mentioned in the previous section, spin one side inward, then the other, until both earcups are completely folded into the headband, as shown.

ENGLISH

Team Up

Dual Input/Output Cable Ports: Beats Pro™ feature a proprietary system for daisy chaining your headphones with multiple headphones. When you connect your Beats Pro™ to your audio gear or music player, the unused port on the opposite earcup serves as an audio output port, and will relay the audio signal from your audio gear or music player.

To use, connect your Beats Pro in the Connect section. Then simply plug the cable from a second pair of headphones into the un-used port on the opposite earcup. If the second pair of headphones are also Beats Pro™, you can continue to add headphones to create a daisy chain.

Audio Input

Audio Output

Note: No switching is needed. The Dual/Input Output functionality works automatically and is not dependent on which of the two Beats Pro™ ports, left or right, is connected to your audio gear’s output port. Either side can work as an input or output.

Cleaning and Removing Earcup Cushions

Though they feature an anti-bacterial treatment, for sanitary reasons and to prolong the life of your earcup cushions, you should clean them regularly, especially after professional use where you may have perspired heavily.

Regular light cleaning: Using a slightly dampened (but never wet to the point that any accidental dripping may occur) cloth, paper towel or disinfectant wipe, gently clean off the vinyl part of the earcup cushions. To complete cleaning, you may wish to use a dry cloth to pat away any moisture left over.

Never get the speaker or electronics inside of your Beats Pro wet. Water or cleaning solvents can do irreparable damage to the electronics inside your headphones. The Beats Pro™ warranty does not cover such damage.

Earcup removal for replacement or atypical cleaning: The earcup cushions on your Beats Pro

™

are made to be removed for the purpose of replacing damaged cushions. You may also need to remove the cushions if atypical, heavy cleaning needs to be done. You may also follow these directions in case of accidental cushion removal. Constant removal of the cushions is not recommended and should not be necessary.

™

ENGLISH

Cushion removal: With the headphones upside down, grasp the headband over the earcup that needs to have the cushion removed. For extra support, press your thumb ﬁrmly on the red “b” logo. With your other hand, grip the earcup cushion and turn it clockwise. The cushion will twist off. Repeat on the other earcup if necessary.

Cushion reattachment: Special attention needs to be paid to alignment of the three clips on the inside of the cushion and the earcup as well as the notch on the bottom of the cushion. It will be extremely helpful to examine the three clips inside of the cushion and on the earcup and note how they ﬁt together before reattaching the cushions.
