Don't spend any time over it...only your run-of-the-mill Golden Retriever would really notice.

I've read the same thing about headphones responding better when they've been 'played in' for a while. Presumably the cones (?), or whatever parts that move, start out a little stiff from new and respond better when they've done a few hours of flexing? I suppose at some stage they start to lose a bit of their elasticity and flex. But, with modern materials, I've no idea when that might become an issue.

I seem to recall reading that they usually improve over the first hundred hours or so, but the life should be measured in thousands of hours.

Once I did read that the headphones need some time to get the best sound, they spoke on a "burning stage". They recommended to leave them plugged and working several hours. It seems it improves the sound. They don't say if the sound could be worst if they are always plugged.]]> Opinions and Polls Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/head-phones-usage-question/#post-370138 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/head-phones-usage-question/#post-41957 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:25:24 +0000
I'm wondering if handling them and plugging them in and out whenever needed or not needed is harder on them than just leaving them hooked up?

Any thoughts? what would you do. leave 'em plugged in or take them out when not using?]]> Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/head-phones-usage-question/#post-41957
