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 take the earcups off my AirPods Max when I am not using them so they can dry out as they have the risk of condensation. I also put a small piece of scotch tape over the connector pin hole in each ear.
