From the tester:

This headphone is a SONY surround wireless headphone. The standalone processor features HDMI, optical digital input, and analog audio input, allowing you to connect it to a TV or Blu-ray player and enjoy wireless surround sound. The headphone’s ear pads are very thick and cover the ears with a soft, plush feeling. Paired with a moderately curved headband, the wearing comfort is outstanding. The sound quality is also superb, offering a gentle, non-fatiguing sound with clear and rich bass in normal mode. In cinema mode, the sound gains even more power and three-dimensionality, immersing you into the world of the movie. It can be said to be the best item for indulging in movie and music appreciation at home.

Points to note when fitting the cover:

1. Don’t fit it too deeply
As the ear pads of this headphone are very thick, fitting the cover too deeply will increase the tension of the cover, making it hard for the ears to fit into the ear pads and causing a feeling of pressure on the ears. It is recommended to fit the cover to about half to two-thirds of the ear pads. (Please refer to the video above)

2. Align the cover vertically
This cover has different stretch rates vertically and horizontally, with the vertical direction stretching better. As this headphone uses vertically long ear pads, aligning the cover vertically (in the direction that stretches well) improves the wearing comfort. To align the cover vertically, fit it so that the seam on the rubber band of the cover is at the top (or bottom) of the ear pad. This will align the cover vertically.

3. Stretch before fitting
Before putting on the headphones after attaching the cover, pushing the cover into the ear pad and stretching the fabric by hand will reduce the tension of the cover and improve the wearing comfort. If you feel a sense of pressure on your ears due to the cover, please try this.

4. Remove after use
As the ear pads of this headphone are large and soft, leaving the cover on for a long time can cause deformation due to the pressure of the cover. When using this cover on this headphone, we recommend removing the cover after use.
