The Audio-Technica ATH-SPORT90BT is a versatile pair of headphones designed for active users, offering both wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a built-in music player with internal memory. This quick start guide outlines the essential steps for setup, operation, and maintenance, ensuring users can quickly get started with their device.
The ATH-SPORT90BT serves as a dual-purpose audio device: a wireless Bluetooth headphone and a standalone music player. As Bluetooth headphones, they allow users to connect wirelessly to smartphones or other Bluetooth-enabled devices for audio playback and hands-free calling. The integrated music player function enables users to transfer music files directly to the headphones' internal memory, allowing for music playback without the need for an external device. This feature is particularly useful for activities where carrying a phone might be inconvenient, such as during workouts or runs.
A key feature of these headphones is the "Hear-through function." This allows users to hear ambient sounds while wearing the headphones, enhancing situational awareness. This is crucial for outdoor activities, as it helps users stay aware of their surroundings, such as traffic or other people, without having to remove the headphones. The built-in microphone facilitates this function, picking up external sounds and mixing them with the audio playback or allowing them to be heard independently.
The headphones are designed with an emphasis on sport and active use, indicated by their "SPORT" designation. This suggests a durable and secure fit, likely with features that make them suitable for intense physical activity, such as sweat resistance or a stable ear-fin design.
Getting started with the ATH-SPORT90BT involves a few simple steps. The initial "Check" section of the guide ensures that all necessary components are present in the package. This includes the headphones themselves, various sizes of eartips (XS, S, M, L) and ear fins (XS, S, M, L) for a customized and secure fit, a dedicated USB cable for charging and data transfer, a pouch for storage, and the quick start and caution guides. The inclusion of multiple eartip and ear fin sizes highlights the importance of achieving a comfortable and stable fit, especially for active use. The visual instructions for fitting the eartips and ear fins demonstrate a clear process for proper insertion and adjustment, ensuring both comfort and optimal sound isolation or stability.
Pairing: The pairing process for Bluetooth connectivity is straightforward. To initiate pairing, the user needs to press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. During this time, the indicator light on the headphones will flash blue quickly, signaling that the device is in pairing mode. The next step involves selecting "ATH-SPORT90BT" from the Bluetooth settings on the smartphone or audio device. Once successfully paired, the indicator light on the headphones will flash blue slowly, confirming the connection. This simple, two-step process makes it easy for users to connect their headphones to their preferred devices.
Music / Phone Control: The headphones feature intuitive controls for managing music playback and phone calls.
Hear-through Function: The hear-through function is activated or deactivated with a simple tap on a dedicated button. This allows users to quickly switch between immersive audio and awareness of their surroundings, providing flexibility depending on the environment or activity.
Music Player Mode: Switching between Bluetooth communication mode and the internal music player mode is also simple. By holding a specific button for 2 seconds, users can toggle between using the headphones wirelessly with an external device and playing music directly from the headphones' internal memory. This seamless transition enhances the versatility of the ATH-SPORT90BT.
Charging / Music File Transfer: The ATH-SPORT90BT uses a USB Type-C™ port for both charging and music file transfer. The dedicated USB cable provided has a USB Type-C™ connector on one end and a USB Type-A connector on the other, allowing connection to a computer or a standard USB power adapter.
Support: For more detailed information, troubleshooting, or advanced usage, users are directed to the Audio-Technica website. The inclusion of a QR code provides quick access to the online resources, including the full user manual. This comprehensive support system ensures that users can find answers to their questions and resolve any issues they might encounter. The guide also includes important legal information regarding Bluetooth® trademarks and USB Type-C™ licensing, demonstrating compliance and transparency.
In summary, the Audio-Technica ATH-SPORT90BT is a robust and user-friendly audio solution for active individuals. Its combination of wireless Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in music player, intuitive controls, and the practical hear-through function makes it a versatile companion for workouts, commutes, and everyday listening.
