7. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and performance of your PRO 82 headphones.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the headphones. For ear cushions, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in the provided portable muslin bag or aluminum alloy case to protect them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the connecting cable. Disconnect by gripping the plug, not the cable itself.
• Temperature: Do not expose the headphones to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or high humidity.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PRO 82 headphones, please refer to the following common solutions:

• No Sound:

  • Check the volume level on your audio source and the in-line remote (if applicable).
  • Test the headphones with a different audio source or device to rule out source issues.
  • Verify that the audio output settings on your device are correctly configured for the headphones.
• Distorted Sound:
  • Lower the volume on your audio source.
  • Check the audio cable for any damage or loose connections.
  • Ensure the bass adjustment switch is not set to an excessively high level for the audio content.
• Uncomfortable Fit:
  • Adjust the headband length on both sides until the earcups sit comfortably over your ears.
