- Connect to Audio Source:

- For devices with a 6.3mm (1/4 inch) audio jack (e.g., audio interfaces, amplifiers), attach the included 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) adapter to the headphone's 3.5mm mini plug, then insert the adapter into the device's audio output.

Operating Instructions
- Volume Control: Adjust the volume using the controls on your connected audio device. The ATH-AD700X headphones do not have inline volume controls.
- Listening Experience: Due to their open-air design, these headphones provide a natural soundstage and allow some ambient sound to pass through. This design is intended for a more immersive and less fatiguing listening experience in quiet environments.
- Optimal Performance: For the best audio quality, ensure your audio source is providing a clean signal. While these headphones have a low impedance (38 Ohms), a dedicated headphone amplifier can further enhance the listening experience with certain high-fidelity audio sources.
