• Otherwise, the headphones will play your music in normal audio quality (SBC).
• Paired devices establish the Bluetooth wireless connection immediately after switch-on and are ready for use.
• On switch-on, the headphones automatically try to connect to the last two connected Bluetooth devices. The headphones can save the connection profiles of up to eight
• Bluetooth devices with which they have been paired. Audio playback is only possible from one device at a time.
• If you pair the headphones with the ninth Bluetooth device, the saved connection profile of the least used Bluetooth device will be over-written. If you want to re-establish a connection with the overwritten Bluetooth device, you have to pair the headphones again.

• If you want to create a quiet space in a noisy environment, you can simply use the headphones – without cable and disconnected from any Bluetooth device – as noise protection by using ANC (> 20).

Notes on active noise cancellation

• Continuous and uniform noise, such as motor or fan noise, is particularly well suppressed.
• Speech or high-frequency noise is significantly reduced but can remain perceptible.
• In very quiet environments, slight noise may occur. In this case, deactivate ANC.
• If unusual (whistling or beeping) noise occurs, take the headphones off and put them on again. Make sure that the ear cups properly fit around your ears.

If you, and therefore the headphones, leave the Bluetooth transmission range of the smartphone, the sound quality deteriorates increasingly until you hear the voice prompt “Lost connection” and the connection breaks down completely. If you immediately re-enter the Bluetooth transmission range, the connection is automatically re-established.

Resetting the headphones
