Setup
- Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge your AKG N60 headphones using the provided USB charging cable. Connect the micro-USB end to the headphone's charging port and the USB-A end to a powered USB port (e.g., computer, wall adapter). A full charge provides up to 30 hours of battery life with noise-cancelling active.
- Connect Audio Cable: Insert the 3.5mm detachable audio cable into the headphone's audio jack. Connect the other end to your audio source (smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.). The headphones can be used in passive mode even if the battery is depleted.
- Adjust Fit: Extend or retract the headband to ensure the earcups sit comfortably over your ears. The on-ear design should provide a snug fit without excessive pressure.
