Precautions
Listening with headphones at high volume may affect your hearing. For traffic safety, do not use while
driving or cycling.
Do not subject the headphones to excessive shock.
Handle the driver units carefully.
Do not put weight or pressure on the headphones as it may cause the headphones to deform during
long storage.
The ear cushions may deteriorate due to long-term storage or use.
The ear cushions are hand-made parts so the stitches and grain of each may differ.
Do not leave the jack plug dirty otherwise the sound may be distorted.
Clean the headphones with a soft dry cloth. Do not blow on the units when cleaning. Do not allow
the plug to become dirty, otherwise the sound may deteriorate.
Do not leave the stereo headphones in a location subject to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.
Because the headphones are of a high density enclosure, forcing them against your ears may result in
eardrum damage. Avoid using the headphones where they are liable to be struck by people or other
objects, such as a ball, etc.
Pressing the headphones against your ears may produce a diaphragm click sound. This is not a
malfunction.
Remember not to disturb people around you with the sound leaking from your headphones. Keep the
volume level moderate even in noisy places so that you will be able to hear other people when they
talk to you.
Optional replacement ear cushions can be ordered from your nearest authorized Sony retailer or
