Pull only the plug, not the cable. When unplugging the headset from the audio source, hold the connector firmly and pull. If you pull on the cable, pressure will apply to the plug and will eventually damage the headphones.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e0/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking- Your-Headphones-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e0/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-2- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use moderate force, not too strong. If the headphone jack is too tight, you can pull firmly but firmly. If you pull it out suddenly, the prong of the jack will be damaged.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/36/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking- Your-Headphones-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/36/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-3- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do not leave the headset on the ground. This is understandable, if the headset is on the floor, there will definitely be times when you accidentally damage it. Always keep your headset on your desk, or store it away when not in use.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fe/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking- Your-Headphones-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fe/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-4- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Unplug the headset when not in use. After using, you should not leave the headset plugged in the jack. When you have to stand up or move suddenly, you may accidentally damage the headset.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2c/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking- Your-Headphones-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2c/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-5- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wrap the headset when not in use. This is especially important for portable headphones that don’t have a braided cable. If the cord is tangled or knotted, the headset cable will become twisted and connection may be lost. Therefore, you should not just put the headset in your pocket, but wrap it up neatly.
- You can cut a few V-shaped marks on the edge of your unused rewards card, or use a butterfly clip to wrap the headphone cord. These are very safe and inexpensive methods.
- Do not tie or apply any force to the cable.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/24/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-6-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking- Your-Headphones-Step-6-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/24/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-6- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-6-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do not wiggle the headset. If you let the headset swing freely, unnecessary force will be applied to the connection between the cable and the headset. You should limit the headset hanging down from the table or bag.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/18/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking- Your-Headphones-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/18/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-7- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do not expose the headset to water. Like any other electronic device, headphones and water cannot be close to each other. If the headset is submerged in water, remove the headset from the water immediately, then pour rubbing alcohol on it and let it dry for a few hours. [1] X Research Source This will help you recover your headphones from most minor water accidents.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ec/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking- Your-Headphones-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ec/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-8- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do not wear headphones to sleep. Besides the damage to hearing, when you tilt back and forth during sleep, it can cause the cord to fold, or damage the headset.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/54/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones- Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/54/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid- Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Find a protective case or bag for your headphones. If you usually carry your headphones, consider finding a case or soft bag to store them in. You can find a case specifically for your headset, or buy a case designed for a variety of headphones.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/62/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones- Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/62/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid- Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Spend more money to buy better headphones. To create inexpensive headphones, manufacturers have cut all kinds of costs, including build quality. Instead of buying cheap headphones and having to guard against the inevitable risks, you should invest in more expensive headphones with good impact resistance.
- Braided cable headphones will prevent tangles and knots, and also last longer.
Prevent damage caused by audio equipment
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2f/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2f/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid- Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Turn down the volume before plugging in headphones. Headphones may be damaged if you connect them while the source volume is playing loudly. Turn down the volume on the audio device before plugging in headphones. Remember, you have to plug in your headphones before you put them on. [2] X Research Source
- After plugging in the headphones, you can increase the volume up to a level that you are comfortable with.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/02/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/02/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid- Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Maintain low volume. Loud volume not only affects hearing, but also damages the speakers of the headphones. This can cause the headset to frequently distort and crackle. If you hear the sound beginning to crack, the volume is getting too loud. [3] X Research Sources
- Limit the maximum volume setting as this may increase the chance of damaging the headphones’ speakers. If you want to increase the headphone volume but cannot increase the source volume any further, use a headphone amplifier. [4] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/60/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones- Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/60/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid- Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Reduce bass (bass). Most headphones don’t have a bass control program, so hearing too much bass can quickly damage the speakers. Bass is a low-frequency sound that can exert a lot of pressure on non-specialist speakers. Use the source’s mixer to lower the bass, and turn off the “Bass Boost” option (if needed).
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a7/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones- Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a7/Avoid-Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Avoid- Breaking-Your-Headphones-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use headphones that are capable of handling the output. It doesn’t matter if you plug your headphones into your phone or computer, but when connecting to a high-quality stereo, you need to make sure the headphones can handle the power output. Weak headphones will quickly be damaged if you use them with strong power.
- Check the headset’s documentation to determine the number of Ω (ohms) that the device can support, as well as the number of Ω output of the audio source.
Advice
- If you wrap your headphones around the player when not in use, be sure to unplug them as this may damage the cord.
- When buying headphones, choose one with a pressure relief ring (this flexible plastic ring is on the end of the connector). This detail somewhat limits the power cord being pulled out of the headset.
- Use your stereo or MP3 player’s volume-limiting system (if available). This will protect your hearing and help the headphones last a long time
- Don’t forget to take your headphones out of your bag before washing your clothes.
Warning
- Listening to music too loud for a long time will permanently damage your hearing.
- If other people can hear the music from your headphones, these are non-soundproof headphones. Normally, if you use soundproof headphones, outsiders won’t be able to hear your music. But if you wear soundproof headphones and other people can hear the music, it means the volume is very loud.
