Proper Use and Care

• Do not use any equalizer presets on your audio source, as the Bose On-Ear Headphones are designed to provide the best sound quality without any adjustments.
• When not in use, fold the headphones and store them in the provided carrying case to protect them from damage.
• Avoid exposing the headphones to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
• Clean the headphones with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any cleaning solvents or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting Tips

• No sound or low volume: Ensure that the audio cable is properly connected to both the headphones and your audio source. Adjust the volume on your audio source to a higher level. If the problem persists, try using a different audio cable or audio source.
• Distorted sound: Turn off any equalizer presets on your audio source. If the problem persists, try using a different audio cable or audio source.
• Uncomfortable fit: Adjust the headband to fit comfortably on your head by sliding the ear cups up or down. Experiment with different angles for the ear cups to find the most comfortable position.
• Reduced noise isolation: Ensure that the ear cups are properly positioned on your ears, creating a good seal. If the problem persists, consider purchasing replacement ear cushions.
