Operation
Connecting headphones
The headphones are equipped with a 3.5 mm jack. Many
electronic entertainment devices have a corresponding headphone
socket. If your audio device has been equipped with a different
headphone connector, you may need to use a suitable adapter
(not supplied).
Inserting the headphones
■ When putting on the headphones , pay attention to the side
indicators "R" (right) and "L" (left) on the earpieces.
■ Push one of the earpieces into the ear canal. In order to
straighten the ear channel somewhat and therefore make the
headphone easier to insert, pull the ear backwards and upwards
a little.
■ Proceed in the same way to insert the other earpiece .
Replacing the ear cushions
The headphones are pre-fitted with the medium-sized ear cushions
on delivery. Depending on the size of your ear, you can use ear cushions ( or ) of a different size from those supplied.
NOTE
► The better the ear cushion seals off the ear canal, the better the
sound quality, particularly at lower frequencies.
■ Use your fingers to carefully pull on the ear cushions to detach
them from the headphones (see fig. 1).
