Cleaning
Headphones/controller
Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the product to ensure that it lasts for a long time. Do not use alcohol, paint thinners,
or other solvents for cleaning purposes.
• When cleaning the headphones, remove the eartips.
• If the product becomes soiled with sweat or dirt, wash it away with fresh water at room temperature (10 to 35 °C), or
weak running water, instead of using soapy water.
• Position the headphones so that the outer surface is facing the water flow (see figure below), and avoid pouring
water directly on the sound reproduction part, which is not water-resistant. Also avoid pouring water directly on the
microphone and connector jack of the controller.
• Be sure to wash the product with your hands instead of using a brush or sponge.
• Although the product has waterproof capabilities equivalent to IPX5, there may be no sound or the sound may be
difficult to hear if water enters the headphones, because the part where the sound comes from is not water-resistant.
• Natural oils from the skin are particularly likely to build up on the areas where the eartips attach to the headphones (see
figure below). If these areas are not cleaned, the eartips can become detached. Clean them regularly. Do not touch the
areas where sound is produced as they are delicate. Doing so may cause the product to malfunction.
After washing, wipe the product clean following the steps listed below:
1. Wipe off the water from the surfaces with a dry, clean cloth.
2. Hold the headphones firmly, and shake off the water about 20 times until no
drops of water sprinkle off.
• Moisture left in the sound reproduction part may cause the product to
make no sound. If that is the case, lay out a dry cloth and shake the sound
reproduction part downward toward the cloth about 20 times each.
3. If water is left in a space in the sound reproduction part, press a dry, clean
and soft cloth gently to the headphones to wipe off the moisture.
4. Dry them thoroughly in the well-ventilated shade.
• Do not apply hot air from a dryer onto the product.
• Do not use a cotton swab to forcibly wipe off the moisture left in a space
between the parts of the product.
