Step 13

• When I was assembling the headphones I noticed that the mic cable get partially naked. It happened because every time you move the mic leg the cable has contact with the insides of the earcup.
• I recommend putting electrical tape over it or don’t move the mic leg at all. Just use the mute button on the back of the left earcup.
