Troubleshooting
No sound from headphones
Ensure the headphone cable is securely plugged into both the headphones and the audio source. Check the volume levels on your audio source and try connecting to a different device to rule out an issue with the source.
Audio sounds distorted or unbalanced
Check for any damage to the headphone cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is fully inserted. If the issue persists, the headphone drivers may be faulty, or the audio source might be clipping.
Earcups feel uncomfortable after prolonged use
Adjust the headband for a better fit. Ensure the earcups are positioned correctly over your ears. If discomfort persists, consider that individual head shapes vary, and these may not be the ideal fit for your specific anatomy.
