How can I clean my headphones?
Dampen a cotton ball or Q-tip with rubbing alcohol and clean any nooks and crannies. Do this on both the ear cups (in areas like fabric folds) and the main headphone unit. Extend the headphones to their maximum size, and then clean them thoroughly with a towel or cloth and some rubbing alcohol.
Are electrostatic headphones better?
Electrostatics use many of the same principles of how our music is recorded in the first place. Even at 100 dB SPL, these electrostatic headphones have only about 0.1% distortion down to 20 Hz! This lack of distortion is only one of many reasons why electrostatics sound so much better than ordinary transducers.
Why is my audio crackling?
Speaker crackling is almost always caused by a connection problem. The first thing to do is to check the wire connections between the amplifier and the terminals on the speaker itself. If the wire has a tendency to get moved around, perhaps by a cat or dog, it’s a possibility something has come loose.
How do I get rid of static on my headset mic?
Try unplugging your headset or standalone microphone from the computer or device and then replugging it back in. If possible, try using a different USB port. Move the microphone (if using a standalone one).
