Operating the Headphones

Audio Playback

Once connected to your audio source, begin playback. Adjust the volume directly from your source device. The Kiwi Ears Ellipse headphones are designed for a balanced and natural sound, with impactful lows, warm low-mids, and airy trebles, providing a speaker-like listening experience.

Open-Back Design Characteristics

The open-back design of these headphones allows for greater airflow to the drivers, contributing to a wider soundstage and more natural audio reproduction. This design inherently offers lower outside-noise isolation compared to closed-back headphones. This is intentional to provide a more immersive and spacious sound, ideal for studio monitoring, critical listening, and gaming where environmental awareness is not a primary concern.

Storage

When not in use, store your headphones in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the headphones to prevent damage.

Cable Care

The detachable cable design enhances the longevity of your headphones. Handle the cable by the connectors when plugging or unplugging to avoid strain on the wires. If the cable becomes damaged, it can be replaced.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound or Low Volume:
  • Ensure the audio cable is securely connected to both the headphones and the audio source.
  • Check the volume level on your audio source device.
  • Verify that the correct audio output is selected on your device.
  • If using the 6.35mm adapter, ensure it is fully inserted.
• Uncomfortable Fit:
  • Adjust the headband sliders to find the optimal fit for your head.
  • Ensure the earcups are positioned correctly over your ears.
• Distorted Sound:
  • Lower the volume on your audio source.
  • Test the headphones with a different audio source or cable to rule out source or cable issues.
• Cable Damage:
  • Inspect the cable for any visible damage. As the cable is detachable, a damaged cable can be replaced.
