Wearing the headphones
Put on the headphones using the markings which identify the left 
(L) and right (R) earcups. Adjust the headband so it rests gently 
on top of your head and the earcup cushions fit comfortably 
around your ears.
Connecting to an audio device
Ensure the smaller 2.5 mm plug is securely inserted into the left 
earcup. Plug the other end of the cable securely into the audio 
output jack of the selected audio device, such as an MP3 player, 
computer, or home stereo. (With some home stereo equipment, 
a separate 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) adapter may be needed.)
Folding Earcups
The Bose AE2 audio headphones feature rotating earcups that 
fold flat for easy, convenient storage.
CAUTION: The earcups rotate in only one direction. Incorrectly 
rotating the earcups can damage the headphones.
