How to properly store headphones

Use the headphone case

The best way to keep your headphones and the foam pads on your headphones in the best condition and avoid external contact is to use a case for your headphones and store them in a cool, dry place.

Dry after use

To overcome the peeling, drying after use is especially necessary and can overcome the smell of the headset. Make sure that after using the headset, leave the headset in the dryest and most airy place for 15-20 minutes so that the foam pad can be dried in the headset for 5-7 minutes, this will help the surface of the ear cushion become drier, avoiding the retention of sweat on the surface of the imitation leather. Do not use a dryer to dry the surface of the foam pad.

You should use an additional desiccant/desiccant pack when storing the headphones in the case to increase the effectiveness of preserving the headphones.

How to deodorize

To deodorize the foam pads on the headphones, you must first dry the foam pads, then use a tightly sealed bag and put your headphones in it with a small bag of dry coffee grounds or 1-2 tea bags dipped with a few desiccant/desiccant packets. Within 1-2 days, the smell on the headphones will be significantly reduced, however, to achieve high efficiency, you should do the same thing about 2-3 times.
