Using the supplied headphone cable

You can use the headset as noise canceling headphones while the headset is connected to a device via the supplied headphone cable and the headset is turned on.

  1. Connect a playback device to the headphone cable input jack with the supplied headphone cable.

    Connect the 5-pole straight plug to the headset side and the 4-pole L-type plug to the device side.

    The connecting device side is a CTIA compliant cable with 4-pole specifications including the microphone.
