May your adventures be infinite and your imagination never ending.

INTRODUCTION

NOTICE: BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, PLEASE READ THE MOBIUS SAFETY AND WARRANTY INFO! BE RESPONSIBLE, AUDIO ADVENTURERS!

You've found the Audeze Mobius Immersive, Cinematic 3D Headphone!

Don't be intimidated. Don't panic. This two button, two wheel, planar magnetic, Waves Nx head-tracking enabled pair of cans represents the most technologically advanced head accessory on the market. Some might call it a fancy space hat, but this is Mobius. And with your Mobius, we plan on taking you to places within audio far beyond anything you've ever known. So, take a deep breath, shake out those jitters, it's time to journey!

When embarking on a quest of this magnitude, it is of course wise to check one's inventory. Who leaves with nothing, after all? Such folly! Included in your Mobius pack, you'll find: a USB-A to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-C cable, an Analog 3.5mm cable, and a Detachable Microphone. While you're at it, inspect the design of Mobius, its flexibility, its durability, its memory foam pads.

Note: We recommend not twisting other headphones like you would Mobius...

WIRED CONNECTION - USB

Let's begin: Mobius can be used with a wired (USB and AUX) or wireless (Bluetooth) connection. We'll begin with a wired USB connection as your likely primary connection. From your inventory of goodies, identify your USB-A to USB-C Cable to connect your Mobius to your PC (or PS4 or any appropriate USB enabled device). Mobius' USB-C input is on the bottom side of the left ear-cup. Additionally, make sure Mobius is set as the input/output device accordingly and lower your volume as a responsible precaution. Orient yourself to a desired listening positon and press the 3D button located on the bottom, front side of the left ear-cup and listen for the "Centered" confirmation prompt. Wait... you didn't hear the prompt? Oh, we forgot to turn Mobius on... You'll however notice that the LED on the left ear-cup of Mobius is illuminated red to signify that even though Mobius is off, it is receiving charge. We totally meant to do that...

We should probably turn Mobius on... The power button is located on the outer face of the left ear-cup of Mobius along with all other controls we have and will mention. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds so that the Mobius narrator can cheerfully confirm "Power On." To give your Mobius some rest, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to power down and Mobius' narrator will confirm "Power Off." Additionally, if no cables or Bluetooth sources are connected, Mobius will efficiently power itself off after 3 minutes to conserve battery.

CHARGING

To charge using USB, Mobius supports 1 Amp chargers and takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge when Mobius is powered off. When plugging Mobius into a wall-wart, make sure the red LED is on to indicate that charging is in effect. Some older wall-warts and USB Hubs might not provide enough power to charge Mobius. Instead, please use a 1 Amp charger. When Mobius' battery is low, Mobius will attempt to charge using the USB cable simultaneously to keep you in the action. If you have a USB Hub or extender, Mobius will work equally well with these, but once again, some USB hubs might not charge Mobius. Please check your hub specs.

WIRED CONNECTION - ANALOG (3.5 MM)

If needed, complete a wired connection with your Analog AUX cable in the same way you connected via USB previously. The Analog input exists on the bottom side of the left ear-cup. Make sure you don't plug your cable into the microphone input. You wouldn't be the first one to make that mistake. Mobius has a balanced amplifier built-in, so you do not need any external amps to power this star of a headphone. Additionally, some PC's might have a separate connection input for headphone and microphone. In this case, obtain a splitter for your inventory to split the TRRS connection.

WIRELESS CONNECTION

For a Bluetooth connection, double press the power button to hear the narrator's "Pairing" prompt. While Mobius searches for your device of choice, select "Audeze Mobius 3D BT" in your device's Bluetooth list. The narrator will wisely confirm "Paired." Manually switch from USB/AUX mode to Bluetooth on your Mobius by double pressing the 3D button to cycle between USB, AUX, and Bluetooth voice prompts respectively.

Mobius supports three types of codecs within Bluetooth: SBC, AAC, and LDAC. Mobius uses AAC to connect to iDevices. Newer Android devices will connect utilizing LDAC. If neither codec is available for your device of choice, Mobius will use SBC. After all, you'll need adaptability for your journeys ahead with Mobius.

CONNECTION PRIORITY

When multiple connections are active, the AUX (Analog cable) has the highest priority followed by USB and finally Bluetooth. If neither Analog nor USB is plugged in, Mobius makes a logical conclusion and prioritizes a Bluetooth connection. As before, double press the 3D button to manually cycle between USB, AUX, and Bluetooth voice prompts respectively. Good work, traveler.

3D OPERATION

With connections established and covered, it's time to rev up some engines and experience the true experience of Mobius. There are 3 modes of operation. You can cycle through these modes with a long press of the 3D button.

3D Manual - In this mode, you will specify the direction of the central reference point. First, center your head for the optimal listening experience. Are you ready? We hope so. This is the big part. Press the 3D button on the bottom, front side of the left ear cup once. The Mobius narrator will confirm "Centered." That's it. Your 3D sound space has been fully prepped and rendered for the next generation audio experience, all with the simple press of a button. This is the default mode enabled automatically for USB and Analog connection modes.

3D Automatic - The centering button is disabled in this mode that's designed for mobile use. Instead, the Waves Nx algorithm automatically calibrates the center of your audio as you move, whether slightly or drastically. This is ideal for those that enjoy listening to audio in cars or trains or those who frequently space travel. This is the default behavior for Bluetooth connections.

3D Off - It's alright if 3D doesn't sync with your taste. All 3D processing is turned off in this mode, giving you a standard Audeze Planar closed-back headphone.

VOLUME AND MICROPHONE

The next course of our training procedure within this traveler's guide covers the various controls that will optimize your performance and handling of Mobius. On the back of the side of the left ear-cup are both volume controls. Scroll the top wheel both directions. Congrats, you've adjusted your volume.

Next, repeat the previous procedure with the bottom wheel by scrolling up and down to adjust your microphone's volume. Of course, it helps to have the microphone plugged in. Thus, it's logical to retrieve your detachable microphone and plug it into the mic jack on the front of the left ear-cup. Make sure when connecting the microphone that the flat parts align and that the mic is not muted on the left ear-cup. With your microphone functional, you're equipped to communicate with friends, enemies, and dolphins alike.

ADVANCED CONTROLS

It's time for some advanced tactics. For those brave and experienced, these controls will add further efficiency in your travels throughout the space of audio. Mobius is the true omni-tool. Use it wisely and don't mix up your buttons.

When connected via Bluetooth:

• Perform a short press of the power button to answer/end a call.
• Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to reject an incoming call. If the distance between your Mobius and its host device exceeds service range, Mobius will attempt to reconnect automatically within 1 minute. Alternatively, double-click the volume wheel to link back to the last device.

When connected and playing media:

• Perform a short press of the power button to pause/play music.
• Perform a short press and scroll the volume wheel to go to the next or previous song.
• Perform a short press and scroll the mic-gain wheel to change the EQ presets within Mobius.

The following EQ presets are available:

Default This is the EQ preset that is tuned to the Audeze House curve.

Footsteps This enhances footsteps to better hear those sneaking behind you. Some might say it's audio radar.

Ballistics Enhances gunshots and other ballistic sounds so you can clearly pinpoint the enemy in FPS games and take advantage.

Music This preset is made especially for music and jamming between intergalactic locations.

Racing Activate those warp drives. This preset is designed for racing.

RPG This preset is optimized for role playing games and immersion.

Flat No EQ. You can use this if you are planning to use external EQ options.

CONCLUSION

With that, your basic training for Mobius is complete. Make sure you store your Mobius carefully and responsibly in a protective case or on a headphone stand when not i n use. Keep Mobius in a dry environment and avoid exposure to liquids. Like an artifact from the far reaches of space, treasure your Mobius. We're excited for the adventures ahead and hope you are too! You're officially ready to conquer all challenges and explore the furthest reaches of audio. Don't forget which buttons to press and if yo u have any further questions, just remember: the answer to everything is 42.
