High heat can cause the elastic foam covering the earcups to lose its shape. It can also damage the internal components, causing the wires to break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, cold temperatures are bad for your headphones. They can break the brittle wires when they contract and expand. It can also cause the plastic casing to crack and eventually disintegrate.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Exposure to Moisture and Sweat<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people use headphones when gaming, strolling, or working out. While keeping fit is good for your health, the <\/span><b>sweat that comes with it spells trouble for your headset<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Jogging in the rain also exposes your headphones to excess moisture. While modern earphones are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audiogrounds.com\/ipx7\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">waterproof<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, they can\u2019t withstand water for too long before they get soaked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Excess moisture and electronics are not a good match<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The sweat or water might penetrate your headphones, causing irreparable damage.

Lengthy headset cables might have numerous advantages. However, they have their fair share of disadvantages. <\/span><b>They quickly form knots and loops, making them prone to breaking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Whether accidental or not, doing so strains the internal wires causing them to break. The <\/span><b>undue stress and tension might separate the cable from the plug<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, damaging your headphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s not all. The internal wires might snap on one side, causing the headphones to malfunction. The broken lines will cause your earphones to deliver sound to the left or right earcup instead of both earcups.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Incorrect Storage<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most headphones are portable, allowing you to carry them when traveling. However, <\/span><b>how you store your headset while in transit determines how long it can last without breaking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Tossing them into your backpack or pocket increases the likelihood of damaging them. Other items in your bag may crash or exert undue weight on the headphones, breaking the earphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, quality headphones often come with a durable carrying case for extra protection. The storage box has a rigid design to protect your headset when traveling. Some carrying cases recharge your wireless headphones, keeping them charged and ready for use.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2133\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2133\"  class=\"wp-image-2133\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.audiogrounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Always-use-a-carrying-case-to-transport-your-headphones.jpg\" alt=\"Always use a carrying case to transport your headphones\" width=\"350\" height=\"428\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Always use a carrying case to transport your headphones<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><b>Sleeping with Headphones On<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people prefer to sleep while listening to soothing music on their headphones. However, <\/span><b>sleeping while wearing your headset can be risky<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You might turn and roll over your headset, damaging it with your heavy head. Moreover, the chances of the cord forming knots and tangles are high. The wires might eventually break if you don\u2019t disentangle the cable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleeping while wearing your headphones is a safety risk. The cord might wrap around your throat, leading to emergencies.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Playing Audio at Extreme Volumes<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playing audio at extreme volumes for prolonged periods can damage your headphones and cause hearing loss. Your headset has tiny speakers that vibrate when producing sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cranking up the volume will cause the speakers to vibrate more vigorously<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Doing so for extended periods can take a toll on the sound-producing components. Loud audio also produces excess heat that might burn the driver coil and damage your headphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><i>Replacing Broken Headphone Drivers (SONY MDR-7506)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"0x0017 - MDR-7506 Driver Replacement\" style=\"width:560px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_7zNz5HaaezU\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7zNz5HaaezU\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7zNz5HaaezU\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT13M27S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2017-11-21T02:27:56Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_7zNz5HaaezU\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7zNz5HaaezU\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">0x0017 - MDR-7506 Driver Replacement<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7zNz5HaaezU\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7zNz5HaaezU\/0.jpg\" alt=\"0x0017 - MDR-7506 Driver Replacement\" width=\"560\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"One of the drivers in my MDR-7506 headphones decided to stop working one day.

Keep the earphones in their storage box to protect them from damage.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Avoid Extreme Temperatures<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to extreme temperatures can make your headphones more susceptible to breaking. After all, most models comprise plastic parts and casings that cannot withstand fluctuating conditions.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Invest in Sports Headphones<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>If you often use headphones for workouts, consider sports headphones<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

You may roll and turn, damaging your headset with your heavy body weight. You might also tangle the wires, increasing the likelihood of breaking them.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Avoid Winding and Pulling On the Cord<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headphones usually comprise tiny brittle wires. <\/span><b>Winding the cable can form knots and tangles, eventually damaging the headset<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Conversely, pulling on the cord causes undue tension, increasing the chances of breaking the internal lines.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Go for Quality Headphones<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Consider investing in quality headphones from recognized brands.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Premium models can last for years without breaking, thanks to their superior build quality.

You may need wire strippers, scissors, electrical tape, and a soldering iron to fix your broken earphones. In case of a broken cord, strip the wires, rejoin them, and insulate them with duct tape. For damaged earcups, use an adhesive to return them into place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality headphones last for 5-10 years.
