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
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 ear pad. 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 ear pad
instead of resting them directly on your ears.
Attaching a 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.
Storing the Headphones
Move the sliders up until the leather is against the titanium headband.| Place foam block between ear pads. Hold the headphone by the headband with one hand, grip both cups with the other hand as shown. Gently squeeze the cupts to keep them together while folding.| Push the cups into the area inside of the headband. The headphones should fold nicely inside.
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 or sound signatures.
To remove the pad gently lift the “point” above the cable jack until it
detaches and peels off the baffle. Store unused ear pads on a clean and flat
surface or using 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 baffle of the headphone and let dry before re-applying the pad.
Carry Case
Your Dan Clark Audio headphones comes 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.
