Safety Instructions

Read the instruction manual carefully and completely before using these headphones.
Keep the headphone, accessories, and packaging out of reach of pets and children. This product contains small parts which may present a choking hazard.
Use only attachments, accessories, and spare parts supplied or recommended by Dan Clark Audio.
Protect your hearing from high volume levels. Permanent hearing damage can occur when headphones are used at high volume levels for extended periods of time.
Do not expose headphones or accessories to extreme temperatures.
Always keep headphones dry.

Headphone Fit Adjustments

Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Open Headphone - Headphone Fit
Adjustment

You can adjust the fit of your headphone by re-positioning the headband slider. To adjust the headband move the sliders up or down until you achieve your desired fit. It may be necessary to remove thick glasses or hats to achieve a proper seal between your head and earpad. An improper fit can cause a bad seal resulting in poor bass response.
Tip: Try inserting the arms of your glasses into the top of the earpad instead of resting them directly on your ears.

Attaching a Cable

Cable

All Dan Clark Audio planar-magnetic products use Hirose-style connectors. To attach your cable hold the male connector by the boot and rotate it into the female receptacle on the headphone until you feel it click into place. To release the cable, pull it down on the top of the connector’s metal jacket.

Storing the Cable

Store AEON 2 cable in the cable pouch located underneath the lid of the compact travel case.
IMPORTANT Cable plug and connectors should always be stored within the pouch to prevent scratching the headphones.

Place headphones into the case as shown.

DO NO FOLD CUPS ONE AT A TIME, THIS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE HEADPHONES.

Product Care

The synthetic leather ear pads may be cleaned gently with a moistened cloth. Do not use cleaners or protectants, this may damage the pad.
Clean any other surfaces with a clean, dry, and lint-free microfiber cloth.
For the first 50-100 hours of use, the headphone will ‘burn in’, during this time the sounds will stabilize.

Replacing Ear Pads

This headphone is equipped with our “peelable” ear pad technology so the pads may be easily removed and swapped for other ear pads to achieve different fitment of sound signatures.
To remove the pad gently lift the “point” above the cable jack until it detaches and peels off the bafe. Store unused earpads on a clean and fat surface or use waxed paper.
If the ear pads lose their “stick” use a microfiber cloth and alcohol to wipe down the black rubber base of the pad and the bafe of the headphone and let dry before re-applying the pad.

Carry Case

Your Dan Clark Audio headphones come with a custom EVA case for protection. There is a pouch inside the case to store your cable and a small amp, DAC, or DAP.

Warranty

Dan Clark Audio offers a 2-year warranty for headphones. The warranty commences on the date of purchase and covers the headphone cable and accessories.
Warranty is transferable provided there is documentation of original purchase that confirms the purchaser bought the headphones in their country of residence. Warranty is void and is non-transferable for “Gray Market” headphones (e.g. international customers purchasing from US resellers and shipping to a friend or freight-forward for export to any country with an authorized reseller).

The warranty does not cover damage by the owner (dismantling the unit, dropping, damage by the failure of electronics, etc.) or naturally occurring compression or other wear to ear pads. Acts of God and all the rest of the usual caveats apply which reinforce a warranty issue is something Dan Clark Audio did wrong, or that was intrinsically wrong with the product we received from our suppliers. We will repair or replace defective goods at our discretion.
