ATH-M50x Professional Monitor Headphones

Thank you for purchasing these headphones. Before using these headphones, please read through these operating instructions to ensure that you will use the headphones correctly.

CAUTION
Please read these cautions before using your headphones.
To ensure safety, observe all cautions while using this equipment.

Warnings

Never use the headphones while driving a car, riding a motorcycle or bicycle or operating any other vehicle.
Do not use the headphones in places where the inability to hear ambient sound presents a serious risk (such as at railroad crossings, train stations, construction sites or on roads where vehicles and bicycles are traveling).
To prevent damage to your hearing, do not raise the volume too high. Listening to loud sound for an extended period may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
Discontinue use if skin irritation results from direct contact with the product.
Do not disassemble, modify or attempt to repair the headphones.
Be careful to avoid pinching yourself between the housing and arm of the product.

Cautions

To ensure compatibility and correct usage, always consult the user manual of any device before connecting the headphones to it.
These headphones are designed to easily dissipate noise to the outside. On public transport systems or in other public places, keep the volume low so as not to disturb other people.
Please minimize the volume on your audio device before connecting the headphones in order to avoid hearing damage from sudden exposure to excessive volume.
When using this product in a dry environment, you may feel a tingling sensation in your ears. This is caused by static electricity accumulated on your body, not by a headphone malfunction.
Do not subject the headphones to strong impact.
Do not store the headphones under direct sunlight, near heating devices or in a hot, humid or dusty place. Do not allow the headphones to get wet.
When this product is used for a long time, the headphones may become discolored due to ultraviolet light (especially direct sunlight) or wear.
Simply placing this product in a bag or pocket may cause the cable to become tangled and snag, which may result in severed wires.
Connect/disconnect the cable by holding the plug. Pulling directly on the cable can result in a broken wire and the risk of electric shock.
Do not wind the cable around your portable audio device. This may damage or sever the cable.
Audio-Technica will not be liable in any way for any loss of data in the unlikely event that such losses should occur while using this product.

Cleaning

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

Cleaning the headphones
To clean, wipe with a dry cloth.
Cleaning the cables
If the cables have become soiled (by perspiration, for instance), wipe them with a dry cloth immediately after use. Using cables which are dirty may cause them to deteriorate, become hard and give rise to problems.
Cleaning the plug
Using the plug when it is dirty may cause intermittent sound or noise. When the plug is dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.
Cleaning the earpads and headband
To clean, wipe with a dry cloth. Earpads and headband may fade if sweat or water dries on them. If the earpads get wet, we recommend wiping them with a dry cloth and allowing them to dry in the shade.
For long-time storage, keep the headphones in a well-ventilated place without high temperatures and humidity.
The earpads and headband deteriorate over time due to use or storage. For information about replacing earpads and headband or other parts, or for information about other serviceable parts, contact your Audio-Technica dealer or service center.
