Proper use of your headphones
A note about electronic “bass boost”: Many portable
audio devices have a bass-boost feature which
electronically alters the audio signal (particularly bass
frequencies) sent to the headphone jack. These
bass-boost features are designed to overcome
certain limitations of conventional headphones. Your
TriPort
™
headphones have patented technology that
delivers superior full-range sound without the need
for any type of artificial electronic signal coloration.
For the best audio performance, disable the bass
boost on your portable audio device. Leaving bass
boost on may result in exaggerated bass and
potential distortion at loud volumes.
Notice the markings L and R on the headband.
These markings indicate the proper position (L for left
ear, R for right) to ensure proper fit and performance.
Put the headphones on and adjust them so the
headband rests gently on your head and the ear
cushions fit snugly (an effective seal) and comfort-
ably around your ears (with your ears completely
inside the cushions).

Caring for your headphones
Cleaning
Be sure to keep the ports on the outside of each ear
cup free from debris. Do not blow air into or vacuum
the ports or the ear cups.
Use a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt or smudges
from the various headset parts. Do not allow moisture
to enter the ports or inner ear cup openings.
Avoid use of sprays or chemical cleaning fluids.
Cautions
Long-term exposure to loud music may cause
hearing damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume
when using headphones, especially for extended
periods.
Do not use headphones when operating a motor
vehicle or where the inability to hear outside sounds
may present a danger to you or others.
Sounds that you rely on as reminders or warnings
may have an unfamiliar character when you are using
headphones. Be aware of how these sounds may
vary in character so you can recognize them as
needed.
Do not sit on or allow the headphones to be
immersed in water.
Cautions
Mounting
flange
Ear cushion
removal
Ear cup
Ear cushion reattachment
If the ear cushions come off your headphones,
reattach them as follows:
1. Fit the mounting flange inside the rim of the ear cup.
2. Make sure it attaches smoothly and uniformly within
the entire ear cup. (Do not remove the ear cup
lining material).
Ear cushions may need to be replaced due to normal
wear and tear. To order replacement ear cushions,
call 1-888-865-2700.
