Got my hair cut today and therefore decided not to put my LCD-X on out of fear some little bit of hair somehow makes its way onto the planar drivers, and it got me thinking about what sorts of ‘precautions’ we have to take over much cheaper and more robust consumer grade headphones, but I do other things like:
When putting them into the pelican case, the 6.5mm jack goes in first so I dont end up stabbing the drivers (I’ve seen some horrific posts on this sub)
Plugging them into (or removing from) the amp only when it’s off
Putting them on *very* gently
Am I paranoid?
I lint roll headphones with velour pads every now and then. If I don’t plan to use then soon, I just put them in a case with a soft interior
