The headphone is supplied with two pairs of ear pads for different sound variations from a neutral sound to a sound with a slight bass boost.

Maintenance

As with any equipment which will be used in close proximity to sensitive areas of the body, it is essential that the ear pads and headband are kept clean. Use a damp cloth for cleaning using warm water only taking care not to allow any water drops into the ear cups or transducers. If necessary, you can carefully remove the ear pads and headband pad and clean them with mild soapy water.

Never use any solvent cleaning agents! Furthermore, the pads must be completely dry before they are attached to the headphone again.
Should it become necessary to replace the ear pads or the headband pad, refer to "Spares and Accessories".
If other components have to be replaced, please contact your local beyerdynamic representative.

• At the end that connects to the headphone, the lockable connecting cable is fitted with a 3-pin mini XLR cable connector.
