4. Adjust for Comfort: Place the headphones over your ears and adjust the headband for a comfortable and secure fit. The earcups should fully cover your ears.

Operating Instructions

• Audio Playback: Once connected to your audio device, begin playing audio. The sound will be transmitted through the headphones.
• Volume Control: Adjust the volume using the controls on your connected audio device.
• Remote Control (if applicable): If your specific model includes an in-line remote, use it to control playback functions such as play/pause or track skipping, as supported by your audio device.
• Folding for Storage: To store or transport the headphones, gently fold the earcups inwards and collapse the headband as shown in Image 2.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior surfaces of the headphones. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Earpad Care: Periodically check the earpads for wear. If they become worn or damaged, replacement earpads may be available from authorized service centers.
• Cable Management: Avoid sharply bending or twisting the audio cable. When storing, coil the cable loosely to prevent damage. The cable features a retractable design for convenience.
• Storage: Store the headphones in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Utilize the folding mechanism for compact storage.
• Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the headphones to water or excessive moisture.

If you encounter issues with your headphones, please refer to the following common solutions:

1. No Sound:
   • Ensure the 3.5 mm audio jack is fully inserted into both the headphones and the audio device.
   • Check the volume level on your audio device.
   • Test the headphones with a different audio device to rule out a device-specific issue.
   • Inspect the audio cable for any visible damage.
2. Distorted Sound:
   • Lower the volume on your audio device.
   • Ensure the audio source is of good quality.
   • Check the audio cable for secure connections and damage.
3. Uncomfortable Fit:
