Hey everybody, today I think I did a dumb thing with my Arya Stealth: I saw on the exterior of the left pad a piece of dirt (between the exterior metal grills and the foam that protects the driver) and I tried to pick it up with a pair of tweezers, but I didn’t take in account the “magnet” part of the driver, so the tweezers were attracted to the driver and made contact, even if softly.

I know planar magnetic drivers are fragile but I’m not an expert and so I’m asking you if there’s a change that I damaged the driver… I can’t hear a difference in sound but I’m a bit worried.

Btw, the headphones weren’t connected to any source while doing this.

The place where the tweezers got attracted from is the one I highlighted in the picture, they made contact but I clearly didn’t push or anything, I then just pulled it off; is that middle part particularly fragile?

    WHY DID YOU DO THAT? YOU DEFINITELY RUINED YOUR HEADPHONES!!!

    Is that what you were afraid to hear? Lmao. Probably nothing happened. If it did, you can’t hear it, and if you can’t hear it, there’s nothing wrong with your headphones. Put your OCD away and enjoy your music. Just don’t do it again.

      Yeah I guess I was scared for nothing, but given the price of the headphones I really would feel emotional pain if I ruined them this way.
