I have a problem with my headphone. It is made from plastic parts that fidget and rub on each other, making crackling noise. The parts would grind on each other with the slightest movement of my head. All the headphones that I bought have this problem. All are plastic.

So does anyone with a metal headphone have this problem? I would like to know what type of build materials avoids this problem

    On another note, you can get rid of the plastic noise as well. Get some Silicone Oil in a spray can with a precise nozzle, like Ballistol (brand).

    Cautiously spray the joints, hinges, wherever you suspect the noise. Apply movement to help the oil crawl into the cracks. This completely eliminated the noise on all my plastic headphones forever.

    Just be super careful, silicone oil is super slippery and next to impossible to wipe up, dose with care and cover all surfaces with newspaper etc.
