Troubleshooting
No sound or low volume
Check that the headphone cable is securely plugged into both the headphones and the audio source. Ensure the audio source volume is turned up and the correct output is selected. Test with a different audio device if possible.
Sound is distorted or crackling
Verify the cable connection is firm. Try a different audio source to rule out source issues. Ensure the input signal is not clipping and that the maximum input power (1600 mW) is not exceeded.
Headphones are uncomfortable
Adjust the headband for a secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure the earcups are properly positioned over your ears. The open-air design is intended for comfort during long sessions; if discomfort persists, take breaks.
Audio sounds unbalanced or lacks detail
Confirm the headphones are fully plugged in. Test with different audio content known to sound good. The open-air design provides a spacious sound; if a more isolated or bass-heavy sound is desired, these may not be the ideal headphones for that specific preference.
