Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the headphones and all accessories from the packaging.
- Connecting to an Audio Source:
- For devices with a 3.5mm headphone jack (e.g., smartphones, laptops), simply plug the attached 3.5mm cable directly into the audio output.
- For devices with a 6.35mm (1/4-inch) headphone jack (e.g., audio interfaces, mixing consoles, amplifiers), screw the provided 6.35mm adapter onto the 3.5mm jack before plugging it into the audio output. Ensure the adapter is securely fastened.
- Adjusting Fit:
- Place the headphones over your ears, ensuring the earcups fully enclose your ears for optimal sound isolation and comfort.

Operating Instructions
- Volume Control: Adjust the volume directly from your connected audio source (e.g., computer, audio interface, smartphone). The TH-200X headphones do not feature inline volume controls.
- Listening Safely: To prevent hearing damage, avoid listening at high volumes for extended periods. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to a comfortable level.
- Intended Use: These headphones are optimized for studio monitoring and mixing, providing a neutral sound reproduction. They are also suitable for general music listening.
Maintenance
- Cleaning:
- Wipe the earcups and headband with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Do not immerse the headphones in water or any other liquid.
- Storage:
- Store the headphones in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on the headphones.
- Cable Care:

Troubleshooting
- No Sound:
- Ensure the headphone cable is fully plugged into both the headphones and the audio source.
- Check the volume level on your audio source and ensure it is not muted.
- Test the headphones with a different audio source or device to rule out a device-specific issue.
- If using the 6.35mm adapter, ensure it is securely screwed onto the 3.5mm jack.
- Distorted Sound:
- Lower the volume on your audio source. Excessive volume can cause distortion.
- Ensure the audio cable connections are secure.
- Test with another audio source to determine if the issue is with the headphones or the source.
- Uncomfortable Fit:
