Headphones broke quickly: tips for protection

• In general, you should wind up the headphones properly so that the greatest damage can be averted.
• In the school or handbag, a small box for the headphones is recommended to protect them from bending. Small plastic boxes are also suitable for this. Of course there are also real headphone bags - for example at Amazon. The iProtect protective case is particularly popular. Over 100 reviews with an average of 4 stars attest the bag to be of good quality. At around five euros, it is comparatively cheap.
• You should also be careful when detangling the headphones. If you pull the cable too hard, it may happen that the cables are partially detached. This can lead to cable breaks or loose contacts.
• By the way: Even expensive headphones can break during transport. High-quality workmanship is an advantage, but the headphones remain sensitive.
