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?
you could try go closer with a 1:1 or 2:1 macro lens and a flash to see if there is anything visible, but it’s very likely you don’t have that kind of equipment
I tried to look at driver using a flashlight by the other side of the earcup but and I couldn’t see any damage or deformation.
