Luxury Sound Deserves Exceptional Care

Care Guide

Premium headphones are more than a listening device. They are part of your everyday ritual — accompanying moments of focus, travel, quiet, and escape. With thoughtful care, your headphones can continue to look refined, feel comfortable, and perform beautifully over time.

Preserve the Earpads with Gentle, Regular Care

The earpads are where comfort meets craftsmanship. To help prevent cracking, peeling, or visible wear caused by prolonged contact with sweat, hair oil, or sebum, clean them regularly with soft, dry tools such as cotton swabs, cotton balls, or cotton pads.

Avoid sharp or abrasive materials, as these may damage the delicate surface of the earpads.

Care excerpt: Earpads may darken over time due to sweat or sebum. This does not affect headphone performance, and regular cleaning can help slow visible discoloration.

Refresh Heavily Soiled Surfaces with Restraint

For deeper cleaning, dampen a soft cloth with diluted mild neutral detergent, then wring it out thoroughly before wiping the surface. The cloth should be lightly damp — never saturated.

Do not use thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other harsh solvents, as these may damage the surface finish and compromise the premium look and feel of the headphones.

After Sweat or Rain, Let Them Breathe

Moisture left on the headphones can affect metal parts and contribute to corrosion or surface deterioration. After exposure to sweat or light rain, wipe all surfaces carefully with 99% water-based wipes that are free from alcohol and solvents.

Once cleaned, allow the headphones to air-dry thoroughly at room temperature before storing or using them again.

Never Charge Before They Are Completely Dry

Moisture and charging should never meet. Before connecting your headphones to a charger, ensure they are completely dry. Liquid entering the headphones during charging may cause malfunction or permanent damage.

Luxury care ritual: After every commute, workout, or outdoor listening session, wipe, dry, and rest your headphones before returning them to charge.

Store Them Like a Precision Instrument

When not in use, keep your headphones in the included case or a protective bag. Proper storage helps protect the earcups, headband, and cable from dust, scratches, and accidental impact.

Avoid storing headphones in very cold environments. If moisture freezes on the headset, it may cause malfunction, so always remove moisture before storage in cold conditions.

A Lasting Expression of Sound and Style

Exceptional sound deserves an equally considered care routine. With gentle cleaning, mindful drying, and proper storage, your headphones can continue to deliver the refined comfort, clarity, and immersive performance they were designed for.
