Maintenance

1. Cleaning Washable Ear-Cup Cushions

The ear-cup cushions are designed to be removable and washable. Gently detach the cushions from the ear cups. Hand wash them with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching to the headphones. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

The headphones have an IP55 rating, meaning they are protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes them suitable for use during workouts or in light rain. However, they are not designed for submersion in water. After exposure to water or sweat, ensure the headphones are dry before charging or storing.
