  2. Insert the 3.5mm plug of the Koss KSC75 headphones firmly into the audio jack of your device.
  3. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent audio interruptions.

Wearing the Headphones:

  1. Gently open the ear clips.
  2. Position the foam earpads over your ears, ensuring they sit comfortably and securely. The clips should rest behind your ears.
  3. Adjust the position for optimal sound and comfort.

Operating Instructions

Audio Playback:

Once connected, audio from your device will be routed through the headphones. Control playback (play, pause, skip) and volume directly from your connected audio device.

Volume Control:

The Koss KSC75 headphones feature an in-line volume control. Adjust the slider or dial on the cable to increase or decrease the audio volume to your desired level. For optimal sound quality and to prevent hearing damage, avoid listening at excessively high volumes for extended periods.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the headphones.
  • For the foam earpads, gently dab with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, and allow to air dry completely before use. Do not immerse in water.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

Storage:

When not in use, store your headphones in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. Avoid tangling the cable by coiling it loosely.

Cable Care:

To prolong the life of the audio cable, avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling, or wrapping it tightly around objects. Always grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting from a device.
