2. Adjusting for Comfort

  • Adjust the headband to fit comfortably over your head. The earcups should fully enclose your ears without excessive pressure.
  • Ensure the ear cushions sit flush against your head to optimize sound isolation and bass response.

Operating Instructions

1. Audio Playback

  • Once connected to an audio source, begin playback from your device.
  • Adjust the volume on your audio source to a comfortable listening level. Avoid excessively high volumes to prevent hearing damage.

2. Planar Magnetic Driver Characteristics

The T60RPmk2 headphones utilize a 4th generation planar diaphragm RP driver. This technology provides a wide frequency response and excellent transient performance. The optimized magnetic circuit and newly designed coil pattern contribute to a clear and detailed sound reproduction.

Maintenance and Care

1. Cleaning

  • Wipe the headphones with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For the black walnut housing, use a slightly damp cloth if necessary, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • The ear cushions can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely before use.

2. Storage

  • Store the headphones in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • When not in use, it is recommended to store them in a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage.

3. Cable Care
