Setup
- Connect the Cable: Locate the 3.5mm jack on the left earcup of the BH60 headphones. Insert the 3.5mm connector of the detachable spiral cable firmly into this jack.
- Choose Your Adapter:
- For devices with a 3.5mm (1/8") headphone output (e.g., smartphones, laptops, portable music players), use the 3.5mm connector directly.
- For devices with a 6.3mm (1/4") headphone output (e.g., audio interfaces, mixing consoles, studio equipment), screw the included 1/4" TRS threaded adapter onto the 3.5mm connector of the cable. Ensure it is securely tightened.
- Connect to Audio Source: Plug the other end of the cable (with or without the 1/4" adapter) into the headphone output of your audio device.
- Adjust Volume: Before placing the headphones on your head, ensure the volume level on your audio source is set to its minimum. Gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level once the headphones are on.

Operating the BH60 Headphones
- Wearing the Headphones: Place the headphones on your head, ensuring the earcups fully enclose your ears. The self-adjusting headband will automatically conform to your head size for a comfortable fit. The "L" (Left) and "R" (Right) markings on the inside of the headband indicate the correct orientation.
- Comfort Adjustment: The earcups are designed to pivot slightly to ensure a snug fit. The circum-aural design provides passive noise isolation, reducing external distractions.
- Listening: Once connected to your audio source and comfortably positioned, begin playing audio. Adjust the volume on your audio source to your preferred listening level.
