The Behringer HC 2000BNC are wireless headphones featuring Bluetooth connectivity and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Before first use, charge the internal battery for at least four hours. The device supports both wireless Bluetooth playback and wired listening via the 3.5 mm AUX IN jack.

Getting started
The unit is powered by a built-in lithium-polymer battery. To charge, connect the supplied USB cable to the MICRO USB jack and a powered USB source. The LED will turn red while charging and blue when fully charged. If the battery voltage drops below 3.0 V, a warning beep sounds every 60 seconds; the unit switches off automatically at 2.9 V.
Bluetooth pairing
- Press and hold the POWER/PLAY/PAUSE button for about 3 seconds to switch on Bluetooth.
- The indicator LED will blink blue and red alternately, indicating pairing mode.
- On your Bluetooth device, enable Bluetooth and select HC 2000BNC from the device list.
- If prompted for a passcode, enter 0000.
ANC (Active Noise Cancellation)
The ANC function works in both wired and wireless modes. To switch ANC on, press and hold the ANC button for 1 second; the LED will light green. To switch off, press and hold the ANC button again until the green light shuts off.
Using the AUX IN jack
To use as wired headphones, connect an audio cable to the AUX IN jack on the headphones and the other end to your external device. If the headphones are powered on, they will automatically turn off when the cable is plugged in to operate as normal wired headphones.
