The use of earphones has gradually increased in our day-to-day lives. Whether it’s from listening to music, attending calls and meetings or watching movies, they have provided both personal and immersive audio listening experiences. Earphones are available in two types - wired earphones and wireless earphones. Among them, wired earphones are still popular among all age groups of people from the day they were introduced in the markets.
Wired earphones have always been known for their reliability, consistent sound quality and affordability. However, one common issue with wired earphones is that they break easily if not handled correctly. We have always given thought on how to protect wired earphones.
Given below are some tips on how to protect earphones from damage
Avoid pulling the cable
One of the common mistakes that makes wired earphones less durable is that we always pull the cable or wire instead of pulling the plug. Make sure you always pull the plug firmly. This will surely improve the lifespan of the wired earphones. This is the best tip on how to protect wired earphones.
Keep your earphones clean
Always keep your wired earphones clean. Use a cotton swab, damp microfibre cloth or soft brush to remove any earwax and dirt. Cleaning them will make them look neat and hygienic.
Use the earphone organisers
There are various organisers for wired earphones available in the market. These organizer boxes or cases store them without tangling them.
Protect from moisture
Moisture is the biggest enemy of electronic gadgets. Moisture can damage the internal components of electronic gadgets. So, always keep your wired earphones away from water, sweat and moisture.
Maintain volume levels
Listening to audio at maximum level not only affects our hearing ability but also stresses the internal components of the earphones, which may reduce their lifespan. So, always maintain the volume level.
Store earphones properly
Many people simply toss their wired earphones in their bags or on the table, which makes them more prone to damage. Always store your earphones by tying them firmly and in a case or with clips.
Unplug after use
Many people keep their earphones plugged in even when not in use. This unnecessary use puts stress on the wire, which reduces the lifespan of the wired earphones.
