Attaching a Cable:

• To release the cable, pull down on the top of the connector's metal jacket.

Product Care:

• The synthetic protein leather ear pads can be gently cleaned with a moistened cloth. Do not use cleaners or protectants, as this may damage the pads.
• Clean any other surfaces with a clean, dry, and lint-free microfiber cloth.
• For the first 50 to 100 hours of use, the headphones will undergo a 'burn-in' period during which the sound signature will stabilize.

Warranty:

Dan Clark Audio provides a 2-year warranty for all headphones, effective from the date of purchase. This warranty covers the headphone cable and accessories.

The warranty is transferable, provided that documentation of the original purchase confirms that the headphones were bought in the purchaser's country of residence. However, the warranty is void and non-transferable for "Gray Market" headphones (e.g., international customers purchasing from U.S. resellers and shipping to a friend or using freight-forwarding for export to any country with an authorized reseller).

Warranty does not cover damage by the owner (dismantling the unit, dropping, damage by failure of electronics, etc.) or naturally occurring compression or other wear to ear pads. Acts of God and all the rest of the usual caveats apply which reinforce a warranty issue is something Dan Clark Audio did wrong, or that was intrinsically wrong with the product we received from our suppliers. Dan Clark Audio will repair or replace defective goods at their discretion.
