Wearing the headphones
After removing the headphones from the case and unfolding them (see page 5.) put on
the headphones using the markings on the headband that identify the left (L) and right (R)
earcups.
Using the “enhancement” features of audio devices
Many portable audio devices include features or settings which electronically alter the
audio signal sent to the headphones. These may include “bass boost” or other EQ set-
tings. Other features may serve to limit volume out such as “sound check” or “volume
limit.” Finally, other features add spatialization effects such as “Surround”, “SMS”,
“WOW”, or “3D.”
The Bose®OE audio headphones were designed to deliver high quality, balanced sound
and deep, low notes without the need for any artificial enhancement. Therefore, when
using the headphones we recommend that you first turn off all the enhancement fea-
tures before making any personal adjustments to the audio settings.
Cleaning the headphones
Earcup
port
Should cleaning be necessary, simply wipe the outside
surfaces with a damp cloth. Be sure the earcup ports are
kept clear and that no moisture is allowed to get inside
the earcup.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any trouble using your headphones, try the following troubleshooting
instructions. If you still need help, call for assistance. See the contact information on the
inside back cover.
Problem What to do
No audio Make sure that the headphone plug is securely connected to
the headphone jack (not the line out jack) of the audio device.
Intermittent audio Make sure each cord connection is securely attached.
Excessive bass Turn off any bass boost or other audio enhancement features
on the audio source.
Distorted bass Make sure that the earcup ports are not blocked in any way. If
they are dirty, gently wipe away any debris. Also check to see
that the cushions are completely snapped onto the earcups.
Misshaped
cushions The cushions may appear deformed when removed from the
case or the packaging. However, after a few minutes the
cushions should regain their natural shape.
