When you use the headphones in a train or
a car, noise may occur depending on street
conditions.
Mobile phones may cause interference
and noise. Should this occur, locate the
headphones further away from the mobile
phone.
Notes on using on the airplane
Do not use the headphones when use of
electronic equipment is prohibited or when
use of personal headphones for in-flight
entertainment services is prohibited.
Notes on handling
Because the headphones are designed to
fit closely in your ears, 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.
Clean the headphones with a soft dry cloth.
Do not leave the plug dirty otherwise the
sound may be distorted.
Be sure to consult a Sony dealer when the
earpads become dirty or damaged, or when
the headphones require repair work.
Do not leave the headphones in a location
subject to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.
Do not subject the headphones to excessive
shock.
Handle the driver units carefully.
If you feel drowsy or sick while using this
headphones, stop use immediately.
Notes on headphones
High volume may affect your
hearing. For traffic safety, do not
use while driving or cycling.
As headphones reduce outside sounds, they
may cause a traffic accident. Also, avoid
listening with your headphones in situations
where hearing must not be impaired, for
example, a railroad crossing, a construction
site, etc.
Note on static electricity
In particularly dry air conditions, noise or
sound skipping may occur, or 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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning the system that are not covered
in this manual, please consult the nearest
Sony dealer.

Notes on use
What is noise canceling?
The noise canceling circuit actually senses
outside noise with built-in microphones and
sends an equal-but-opposite canceling signal
to the headphones.
Notes on the noise canceling
function
Adjust the earpads so that they cover your
ears, otherwise noise canceling will not
function properly.
The noise canceling effect may vary
depending on how you wear the
headphones.
Do not cover the microphone of the
headphones with your hands. The noise
canceling function may not work properly.
Microphone
After you turn on the power of the
headphones, you may hear a slight hiss. This
is the operating sound of the noise canceling
function, not a malfunction.
The noise canceling function works for
noise in the low frequency band primarily.
Although noise is reduced, it is not canceled
completely.
The noise canceling effect may not be
pronounced in a very quiet environment, or
some noise may be heard.
