How much does it take to accidently blow your headphones?
There's no easy answer for that. It not only depends on how loud the volume is, but also the frequency content of the signal and the dynamic range. Compressed music with little bass would have to be a lot louder to damage a speaker than a very bass heavy song with a lot of peaks in it. Speakers can be destroyed three different ways: - Physical damage (putting a pencil through the cone would do it) - Excessive power (trying to dissapate more wattage than it's designed for fries the voice coil) - Over excursion (the speaker cone tries to travel further than it's physically able to) With most decent headphones, you're going to damage your hearing before you damage the speakers. You can get more headphones...you can replace the damaged parts of your ears. I spent many years as a radio DJ...and a lot of hours wearing very loud headphones. I now have tinnitus (the constant ringing in the ears), and there's no cure for that. Greetings from Austin, TX Ken
How can I get the dirt and dust out of the speaker holes of my iPhone 6?
Even if you are the most careful iPhone user, conducting routine maintenance on your precious phone, you are bound to come across problems of dust and pocket lint accumulating in your iPhone's speakers. So, how do I clean the speakers on my iPhone without wrecking my phone? There is an easy answer.Dust, Lint & General Garbage.No matter what case you use, or if you keep your phone in a pocket or a purse, there will inevitably be a build up of dust, lint and general debris that clogs up your iPhone's speakers over time. Not only can this look unsightly, in the long term it can cause serious deterioration to the sound quality -- if the sound is low or muffled on your iPhone this could well be the reason.Like all Apple products, the iPhone looks brilliant but isn't without its design flaws. It's also the most expensive smartphone out there, so you certainly don't want to damage it in the process of routine iPhone maintenance.Cleaning The SpeakersYour best bet in cleaning your iPhone speakers is to use a soft-bristled toothbrush -- nothing fancy and nothing too harsh that might cause more damage than it cures.* Make sure the brush itself is clean and dry -- we don't want any moredebris getting in there.* Then use a gentle brushing action, trying to direct your brush away from the speaker. This sounds tricky cause there's not much room forthe maneuver, but it's just to make sure you aren't pushing anydebris further into the speaker and the internals of the phone thatcould cause further problems.* You might also want to use a small vacuum attachment. If you have one of those small ones meant for cleaning computer keyboards this is ideal, as it will lift the general yuck out of there. You may still need to use the brush a little for dislodging any debris.* If the build-up is minimal you might want to first try and lift off general lint and dust with a quick stick and lift with a piece of scotch tape.General iPhone Cleaning TipsOf course, the speakers aren't the only area of your iPhone that can get dirty in a short space of time. The same issues can also affect your mics, headphone jack, and the rather exposed dock connector. The same procedure is a good plan for each of these -- being extra careful to direct your brush away from the dock connector.
How do i find out how far i can turn up my speakers without causing damage?
From looking at the link you gave, I expect the power rating is highly exaggerated as is the frequency response range of 20 Hz at the low end. More likely 40 ~ 50 Hz is about the best they can do and this region is likely exaggerated due to the passive radiator design in a relatively small box. (It's probably under damped) I wouldn't expect them to handle even 100 watts continuous but typically music power is very dynamic so under normal circumstances you probably only need a few watts anyway. It's the peaks you have to watch for. If your amplifier truly consumes only 70 watts then at best it can probably supply no more than about 15 ~ 20 watts/ch. Or possibly you misstated and meant to say it is rated to output 70 watts/ch. In either case attempting to play very loud will result in clipping and could damage these or any other speakers. mk
Can your computer ruin your headphones?
Don't even worry about it. The only threat a computer poses to your Headphones, no matter what the age difference, is that if you play your music too loud you might blow them out but I'm sure you already knew that. They have been consistently making headphones compatible with electronics for as long as I can remember. I found a pair awhile ago and plugged em directly into the TV. Sounded bad but they were bad headphones and it was a bad TV. But as for power problems and overloads and whatnot do not worry about it. Unless theres a lightning storm then turn off your computer. Headphones will probably be fine but computer might die and you might be deaf =รพ So enjoy your new toy but don't damage your hearing!
What do I do if I get my earphones wet?
Hi~I had to say I have met this situation before, and I got my earphones back as follow these ways.1.If your mobile phone water/liquid, it is recommended that you do not try to start up, to prevent the internal short circuit of the machine, and damage the internal components (if the machine battery can be removed, it is recommended to remove the battery). It is suggested that you take the machine to the local after-sales service center and have it tested by the engineer. The specific cost is subject to the test result of the service center.2. When the earphone falls into the water or accidentally gets wet if you find it immediately, you should immediately pick it up and gently shake off the water. But considering the structure of the earphone, it is afraid of vibration, so don't shake it too hard, it will damage the earphone.The headset is not high temperature resistant, placed in the place of the natural ventilation is the best way to dry slowly, first place one day, the day in order to avoid headphone wires burn out, when dry to the headphones into the waterhole blow with the blower.headphones and contact our ear position, carefully when blowing, blowing while rejection will be back in high and low, then blow headphones controller position, under the control or suspend play that position, also want serious blow, then blow the headset hole position, is the head of the headset (and the location of the mobile phone contact), and can finally dry here.3. Place the earphone in a sealed bag together with the water-absorbing surface paper and place it in an environment of about 40 or 50 degrees. The principle is to create a sauna-like environment, such as water steam out of the tissue paper will suck water away.Remember to change tissues regularly. Pay attention to the observation, must grasp the temperature, not too high, in the short term do not use it, put it up on the bed one night, if there is the sun the next day, we might as well take to the sun under the exposure for a period of time, so you can put the headset into the water to save back.4. Use desiccant, such as food desiccant, to remove the moisture inside the headset, during this period do not let the headset sound.5. You can put your headphones into dry cereal and let them sit overnight. Dry cereal will drain the moisture out of your headphones. like that:Hope it helps you~
Speakers blown or fixable?
It's almost definitely NOT your amp. When an amplifier dies, it DIES - not just the low frequencies. If you have ANY other speakers, you can easily verify that the amp is fine. It's probably the crossovers (although you may have overdriven the woofers and fried the voice coils.) If it's the crossovers, it's a fairly simple and inexpensive repair. If the woofers are toast, the speakers are toast.
