Frequently Asked Questions - A140 Audix

How do I adjust the headset for a comfortable fit?

Your Audix headphones have an adjustable headband. When new, the headband has extra tension; over time it will loosen and adapt to your head shape. Do not stretch the metal band upward or outward as this could damage the tension needed for a good seal.

How do I connect the audio cable?

Use the included 1.8m cable. The jack with the smaller housing plugs into the left earcup, and the jack with the threaded housing connects to your audio source. Push the jack all the way in for a secure connection. A threaded 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter is provided for larger inputs.

How can I avoid hearing damage?

Before placing headphones on your ears, ensure the volume on your music source is turned off. Then slowly bring the volume up to a moderate level. Listening at high volumes can cause permanent hearing damage.

How do I clean my headphones?

Use a dry, soft cloth to clean your headphones. Avoid using water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Store them in the protective case when not in use.

What is the warranty period for the Audix A140?

Audix products purchased in the USA come with a one-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Proof of purchase from an authorized dealer is required. The warranty does not cover normal wear, abuse, or shipping damage.

What accessories are included with the A140?

The box includes: a protective carrying case, a detachable 1.8m headphone cable (CBLHP96), and a threaded 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter.

How do I identify the left and right ear cups?

The ear cups are marked on the inside with an 'L' and 'R'. An easy way to remember: the left side always has the cable connector.

Can I use a different cable with the A140?

Yes, the cable is detachable. Audix offers optional cables such as the CBLHP400 (audiophile pro 1.5m), CBLHPEXT (extension 1.5m), and CBLHP96XL (3.0m). All use a 3.5mm stereo jack.

AVOID UNSAFE LISTENING

Listening to music through headphones at high volumes is unsafe and can cause damage to your hearing.

BEFORE placing headphones on your ears, be sure that the levels of your music source are turned off. Place the headphones into listening position and slowly bring the volume up to a moderate level when in use.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

With proper care and maintenance your Audix headphones are designed to give you many years of excellent performance.

Store your headphones in the protective case at room temperature while not in use. Avoid extreme heat or cold temperatures, moisture and extended exposure to direct sunlight.

When cleaning the product use a dry, soft cloth.

Use the supplied Audix accessories with your product and authentic Audix replacement parts if needed.

WEARING AND ADJUSTING THE HEADSET

Your Audix headphones are adjustable to your head size and should be extremely comfortable after you find the right setting.

When new, the headband will have a bit of extra tension. In time, they will loosen up and adapt perfectly to your head after usage. For this reason, headphones become extremely personal.

DO NOT try to adjust the headset by stretching the metal band upward or outward as this could damage the tension needed for a good seal around the ear.

Note that there is a left and right ear cup. They are marked on the inside of the headset with an “L” and “R”. An easy way to remember this: the left side is always the one with the cable connector.

CONNECTING THE AUDIO CABLE

Your Audix headphones come with a 1.8 m high-quality audio cable. Both connectors are 3.5 mm stereo jacks. The jack with the smaller housing is designed to plug into the left earcup and the other jack with the threaded housing is designed to plug into the audio source.

When plugging in the connector to the ear cup, be sure to push the jack all the way in for a secure connection.

Note: a threaded 3.5 mm to 6.35 mm adapter is provided for inputs requiring a 6.35 mm (1/4 in) jack.
