Connect to Audio Source:
- For devices with a 3.5 mm audio jack (e.g., smartphones, laptops, portable audio players), connect the 3.5 mm end of the cable directly.
- For devices with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) audio jack (e.g., audio interfaces, mixing consoles, studio equipment), attach the included 1/4" adapter to the 3.5 mm cable end before connecting to the audio source.
Adjust Headband and Earcups: Place the headphones on your head. Adjust the headband sliders on both sides to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The earcups should fully enclose your ears without excessive pressure.

Operating Instructions

The DT 700 PRO X headphones are designed for a wide range of audio applications, from critical listening to professional monitoring.

Volume Control: Adjust the volume directly on your connected audio source. The headphones do not feature inline volume controls.
Optimal Usage: For best sound quality and comfort, ensure a proper seal around your ears. The closed-back design provides excellent passive noise isolation, making them ideal for environments where external noise needs to be minimized or sound leakage needs to be contained.

Storage: When not in use, store your headphones in the provided protective case to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity.
