Introduction
ClearDryve 220 is a premium, over-the-ear, 2-in-1 headphones/headset with easy wireless capabilities and stylish matte-black hardware. The adaptability of the ClearDryve 220 enables for multi-functional application. Use it as a mono headset or effortlessly convert it into a pair of high-end stereo headphones. Simply swap the second ear cup for the head pad. When the attention is on listening rather than talking, raise the 180-degree boom mike out of the way. ClearDryve 220 gives you and your callers a healthier listening experience. Active noise cancellation reduces the need for an increased volume in noisy areas, thanks to over-the-ear earcups that establish a strong acoustical barrier. The dual-microphone on the ClearDryve 220 separates your voice from ambient noise, allowing callers to hear only you and not background noise.
The ClearDryve 220 is designed to produce high-quality sound for a more enjoyable listening experience. Crisp, natural sound reproduction is achieved with Qualcomm aptX HD Audio technology. The ClearDryve 220 is designed for professional drivers and pairs wirelessly with iOS and Android smartphones for hands-free communication while on the road. With 20 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby time, you may enjoy high-quality calls for longer. Audio controls are conveniently situated on the ear cup for quick and simple access. Long-lasting comfort is ensured with oil-resistant materials and memory foam padding. For a secure fit, use the retractable headband and flexible boom mic on the ClearDryve 220.

MORE FUNCTIONS
ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION
The ClearDryve® signal processing removes more than 90% of noise reaching the microphone so those on the other end of the call hear you — not the background. This digital noise suppression is always active. In addition, your ClearDryve® features Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which eliminates the need to “crank up the volume” by canceling out ambient noise reaching your ear. The result is a crystal-clear listening experience for you as well.
TO TURN ANCON OR OFF
- Slide the ANC slider to the on or off position.
- When ANC is enabled, the green ANC light indicator is on.
- When ANC is disabled, the green ANC light indicator is off.

TO ATTACH THE EARPIECE OR THE HEADPAD
- Slide the earpiece/head pad onto the ClearDryve® headband.
- The earpiece will click when connected.
RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS
You may need to restore ClearDryve® back to its factory state, typically when switching over to newer model smartphones/laptops for daily use. Clearing the “pairing history” on your headphones can help improve connection times between your headphones and new devices.
TO RESET CLEARDRYVE®:
- Make sure ClearDryve® is powered off. Now press and hold MFB to place it in pairing mode.
- Press and hold Vol – and MFB at the same time until you hear 2 beeps.
