Care

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.
After using the cable, clean it with a dry cloth if sweat or dirt is present. Failure to clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in malfunction.
Wipe the cable’s plug with a dry cloth if dirty. Using the plug without cleaning it can cause sound interruption or distortion.
To clean the earpads and headpad, wipe with a dry cloth.
Earpads and headbands may fade if sweat or water dries on them.
If the earpads and headpad get wet, we recommend wiping them with a dry cloth and allowing them to dry in the shade.
For long-term storage, keep the product in a well-ventilated place without high temperatures and humidity.
The earpads and head pads deteriorate over time due to use or storage.
For information about replacing earpads, headpads or other parts, or for information about other serviceable parts, contact your local Audio-Technica dealer.
