Using your headphones

Wearing the headphones
After removing the headphones from the case and unfolding them (see page 4), put on the headphones using the markings that identify the left (L) and right (R) earcups. Adjust the headband so it rests gently on top of your head and the earcup cushions fit
comfortably on your ears.

The Bose® OE2 audio headphones do not require scheduled cleaning. Should cleaning be necessary, simply wipe the outside surfaces with a soft cloth. Be sure the earcup ports are kept clear, and that no moisture is allowed to get inside the earcup.
