Understanding The Proper Care Of Headsets

By Kristina T. Strickland


Telephone headsets are rapidly gaining popularity both at home and at workplaces of all sorts. They may be used for listening to music, for talking during driving or maybe just to facilitate phone conversations at the workplace. Whatever the reason you use them for, taking care of them is a must so that they remain functional for a longer period of time.

By following the tips mentioned below, you can ensure that your headsets do not suffer from frequent use and the wires are not damaged to a very great extent.

Safe storage is a must. Most people ignore this painfully obvious fact while shoving their earphones in a drawer or at the bottom of a bag without caring about the damage they are inflicting. 


To ensure maximum protection, keep them in a headset pouch when not in use. Also, be careful not to fold or wrap the cords so that the wires do not get damaged.

Second, avoid keeping your headsets near a high temperature source. Even the small amount of plastic present in most headsets can be very easily damaged by increased temperatures.

Thirdly no water should come in contact with the headphones. Headsets are easily damaged if they come into contact with any water, be it rain, dew or even just a moist surface.

Fourth, you must not let the ear pieces or microphone get dirty. Poor sound and communication quality not to mention irreparable damage are a direct result of the constant deposition of sweat, skin oils and dirt on the parts mentioned above.

Last of all; do not pull on the cord as this will damage it. Unplug the headset carefully and store it away. Take care of this useful device to make sure it works for a longer period of time.
