Cleaning

Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the product to ensure that it will last for a long time. Do not use alcohol, paint thinners, or other solvents for cleaning purposes.

• Use a dry cloth to clean the headphones and the in-line controller.
• Wipe away any perspiration or dirt from the cable with a dry cloth immediately after use. Failure to clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in malfunction.
• Wipe the cable plug with a dry cloth if dirty. Failure to clean the plug may cause sound skipping or noise.
• To clean the earpads and headband, wipe with a dry cloth. Earpads and headband may fade if sweat or water dries on them. If the earpads and headband get wet, we recommend wiping them with a dry cloth and allowing them to dry in the shade.

• If the product will not be used for an extended period of time, store it in a well-ventilated place free from high temperatures and humidity.
• Earpads are consumable parts. The earpads deteriorate over time due to use or storage. Contact your local Audio-Technica dealer for earpad replacement or other repairs.
