Sony MDR-EX76 Manual

• High-sensitivity driver units reproduce premium quality sound and wide dynamic range
• Excellent wearing comfort from hybrid silicone rubber earbuds and angled earbuds

structure

• 2-foot short cord ideal for armband use; supplied extension cord (2 feet) ideal for

general use

Wear the earpiece marked R in your right ear and the one marked L in your left ear.

How to use the supplied cord adjuster (see fig. A)

You can adjust the cord length by winding the cord on the cord adjuster.
(The cord can be wound to the cord adjuster up to 50 cm. If you wind more, the cord
comes off from the cord adjuster easily.)

Wind the cord.

Push cord into slot hole to secure in place.

Do not wind the plug or split section of the cord, as it will strain the cord and may cause
a wire break.

How to install the earbuds correctly (see fig. B)

If the earbuds do not fit your ears correctly, low-bass sound may not be heard. To enjoy
better sound quality, change the earbuds to another size, or adjust the earbuds position to
sit on your ears comfortably and fit your ears snugly.
If the earbuds do not fit your ears, try another size. Confirm the size of the earbuds by
checking color inside (see fig. B–1).
When you change the earbuds, turn to install them firmly on the headphones to prevent
the earbud from detaching and remaining in your ear.

* This size is optional and available at purchase.

To detach an earbud (see fig. B–2)

While holding the headphone, twist and pull the earbud off.

z

If the earbud slips and cannot be detached, wrap it in a dry soft cloth.

To attach an earbud (see fig. B–3)

Push the parts inside of the earbud into the headphone until the projecting part of the
headphone is fully covered.

Remove the earbuds from the headphones, and wash them with a mild detergent solution.

How to use the carrying case (see fig. C)

Press the case lightly on either side, as shown in the illustration to open. Hold
the bottom of the case to not drop it.

Place the headphones in the case, and wind the cord around the side of the
case. The plug can be placed at the rear of the case.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

• To connect the extension cord, insert the stereo mini plug fully into the jack until you

hear a click (See. fig. D).

• To disconnect the extension cord, pull it out by the plug, not the cord, to avoid

damaging inner conductors.

• Please keep your headphones clean at all times especially inside the rubber earbud (see

fig. E).
If any dust or ear wax inside the earbud, you may experience some listening
difficulties.

• Listening with headphones at high volume may affect your hearing. For traffic safety,

do not use while driving or cycling.

• The earbuds may deteriorate due to long-term storage or use.
• Install the earbuds firmly onto the headphones. If an earbud accidentally detaches and

is left in your ear, it may cause injury.

In particularly dry air conditions, mild tingling may be felt on your ears. This is a result
of static electricity accumulated in the body, and not a malfunction of the headphones.
The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from natural materials.

EP-EX10A is available (sold separately) as optional replacement earbuds.
EP-EX10A offers 4 types of the earbuds: SS, S, M and L.
