3. Key Features
3.1. MLD Dynamic Driver Technology
The SR7000 utilizes Aune's self-developed W-shaped ceramic polymer rigid diaphragm. This design, optimized with Multi-Layer Distributed (MLD) technology, ensures unified piston-like vibration across the entire frequency range, enhancing high-frequency extension and delivering a linear, smooth frequency response from 5-44,500Hz.

3.2. "Dragon Scale" Acoustic Prism
To mitigate the common muffled sound of closed-back headphones, the SR7000 incorporates a patented "Dragon Scale" acoustic prism. This structure diffuses and filters unwanted reflected sound waves within the earcups, aiming to achieve a natural and smooth soundstage comparable to open-back headphones while maintaining sound accuracy.

3.3. Tilted Acoustic Matrix
The Tilted Acoustic Matrix is an imaging correction system that uses computer-aided design. It positions the drivers with a steep tilt, paired with similarly tilted ear cups, to create a deeper spatial experience and more precise imaging. This technology helps the closed-back SR7000 maintain an open and expansive soundstage.

3.4. Comfort and Design
The SR7000 features a lightweight structure with a strengthened headband and hinges. The design includes a "Concentric Circle" wearing system and soft, slow-rebound foam ear cushions for a comfortable, pressure-free fit during extended listening sessions. The dark green finish with golden brushed metal backplates provides a sophisticated aesthetic.

3.5. Versatile Connectivity
With a mid-to-low impedance of 55 ohms, the SR7000 is compatible with a range of devices, from professional desktop systems to portable players. It includes both 3.5mm (with 6.35mm adapter) and 4.4mm balanced output cables for flexible connection options.
4. Setup Instructions
4.1. Connecting the Cables
- Identify the left (L) and right (R) connectors on the headphone cables and the corresponding ports on the SR7000 earcups.
- Gently insert the cable connectors into the headphone ports until they click securely into place.
- Choose the appropriate cable for your audio source:
- Use the 3.5mm OFC TRS cable for standard audio jacks. If your source requires a 6.35mm connection, attach the included 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter.
- Use the 4.4mm OCC balanced cable for balanced audio outputs on compatible devices.
- Connect the chosen cable to your audio source (e.g., DAP, amplifier, computer).
4.2. Wearing the Headphones
- Adjust the headband to fit comfortably over your head. The SR7000 is designed to accommodate various head shapes.
- Ensure the earcups fully enclose your ears, creating a good seal. A proper seal is crucial for optimal bass performance and soundstage.
- If you experience bass leakage, adjust the wearing angle of the earcups until a secure and comfortable fit is achieved.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Initial Listening and Burn-in
The specially designed independent linear surround of the SR7000 requires some time to reach its optimal state. It is recommended to wear and listen with the SR7000 for at least 30 hours cumulatively. Playing music with rich low frequencies at higher volumes can accelerate this process.
5.2. Volume Control
Adjust the volume directly from your connected audio source. The SR7000 headphones do not feature integrated volume controls.
5.3. Media and Call Control
If your connected audio source or cable supports media and call control functions, these can be managed directly from your source device.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the headphones.
- Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- For ear cushions, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, and allow to air dry completely before use.
6.2. Storage
When not in use, store your SR7000 headphones in the provided AuNest headphone case to protect them from dust, scratches, and impacts.

6.3. Cable Care
Handle the detachable cables with care. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling, which can damage the connectors or internal wiring. Disconnect cables by gripping the connector housing, not the cable itself.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Low or Absent Bass
The sound quality of closed-back headphones is highly dependent on a proper seal. If you experience low or absent bass, it may be due to an improper fit:
- Adjust Wearing Angle: Ensure the earcups are fully sealed against your head. Minor gaps can lead to bass leakage. Experiment with different wearing angles.
- Ear Cushion Softening: New headphones' hinges and ear cushions can be stiffer. Over time, the ear cushion material will soften, which typically improves bass performance and soundstage.
7.2. No Sound or Intermittent Audio
- Check Cable Connections: Ensure both ends of the audio cable are securely connected to the headphones and the audio source.
- Verify Audio Source: Confirm that your audio source is playing sound and its volume is turned up. Test with another audio device if possible.
- Inspect Cables: Check the audio cables for any visible damage. Try using a different cable if available.
