Frequently Asked Questions - iB40 IHOME

How do I identify left and right ear cups?

The ear cups are marked with 'L' for left and 'R' for right. When worn properly, the cable with in-line volume control will be on your left side.

What devices can I use these headphones with?

These headphones have a 3.5mm plug, compatible with most music players, smartphones, tablets, and computers with a standard headphone jack.

How do I use the in-line volume control?

Start with the volume set to low, then gradually increase to a comfortable level. For best sound, set your device volume to halfway and adjust with the in-line control.

What is the 6.3mm adapter for?

The supplied 6.3mm adapter lets you connect the headphones to older stereo receivers or equipment with a larger headphone jack.

What should I do if I hear sound from only one side?

Ensure the headphone plug is fully inserted into your device's jack. A partial connection can cause mono sound.

How can I protect my hearing while using these headphones?

Always start listening at low volume and avoid prolonged high-volume use. Do not use headphones in situations where you need to hear warning sounds.

Can I use these headphones while driving or biking?

No. These studio monitor headphones block outside noise, including warning sounds, making them unsafe for driving, biking, or any activity requiring full awareness of surroundings.

How do I clean the headphones?

Wipe the ear cups and headband with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or chemicals, and do not submerge in water.

What is covered under the warranty?

The 1-year warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials under normal use. It does not cover misuse, modification, or damage from excessive heat.

How do I get service for my headphones?

Return the product to the store of purchase first. If needed, pack it securely with proof of purchase and a $5 fee ($10 without proof), and ship prepaid and insured to: Consumer Repair Department, SDI Technologies Inc., 1330 Goodyear Drive, El Paso, TX 79936-6420.

Using Your iHome Headphones

The ear cups are marked "L" and "R". When worn properly the headphone cable with in-line volume control will be on your left side. The two ear cups may be adjusted up or down for most comfortable fit.

Connect the headphone plug to the headphone jack of your music player. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the jack. If the plug is not fully inserted you may only hear sound from one side of the headphones.

To protect your hearing, always start listening with the In-Line Volume Control set to a low level and gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.

Note: You may have to adjust the volume control on your music player as well as the In-Line Volume Control on your headphones to find the most satisfactory sound level. If one control is set too low and the other is set too high, the sound may be distorted. Try setting the volume control on your music player halfway between the Min and Max settings, and then use the In-Line Volume Control on your iHome headphones to make final adjustments.

IMPORTANT! Listening at high volume for long periods of time can result in long-term hearing damage. For your safety, do not use headphones if they would prevent you from hearing warning sounds, such as while driving a car or motorcycle, riding a bike, etc. Remember that studio monitor style headphones such as the iB40 may block outside noise, including warning sounds. Always be aware of your surroundings and do not use these headphones in situations that require you to hear warning sounds.
