How to connect
ToconnectyourvTrueheadphones,plugthestraight3.5mm(1/8”)Y-cableconnectorsintotheportsof
their respective ear cups.
Each connector has a red or blue marking on the body of the connector. Match the connectors with
the corresponding color under the left and right ear cups. The cable with the red marking is for the right
audiochannel,whilethecablewiththeblue marking is for the left audio channel.
Plug the right-angle 3.5 mm (1/8”) connector into the audio output port on your audio device.
Note: Use the included 6.35 mm (1/4”) adapter if your audio equipment uses a 6.35 mm (1/4”) output
port. Use of this adapter with the control module cable eliminates control function.
Wearing vTrue headphones
Located above the inside of each ear cup are markings for right and left audio channels.
Wear the ear cup marked “Right” over your right ear and the one marked “Left” over your left ear. The
control module is located on the cable connecting to the left ear cup.
Always turn down the volume on your audio equipment before wearing vTrue headphones. Once the ear
cupsarecomfortablyseatedoveryouryears,graduallyincreasethevolumetoamoderatesoundlevel.
Cleaning
Ear cups should be cleaned regularly for sanitary reasons and to prolong the life of your ear cups.
Withalightlydampenedcloth,papertowelordisinfectantwipe,thoroughlycleantheearcups.
Use a dry cloth to pat away any remaining moisture.
Adjusting the headband
TheheadbandonthevTrueisadjustabletotdierentheadsizes.
Holdtheheadbandandadjustbypullingontherightandleftearcups.
The right and left ear cups should be centered over the ears.
Do not get the speakers or electronics inside of your headphones
wet. Liquids and heavy moisture can cause damage to the
electronics inside your headphones. Such accidental damages
are not covered under warranty.
