Did i destroyed my Headphones?

Today i heared that i have a kind of noise everytime there is a sound in my headphones. Yesterday i made an experiment with resonance and i forgot to put a limiter on it...... so it raised up about +80 db :open_mouth:
I hear it wherever i put the headphone in....damn.... bought it (AKG 702) just a few months ago.
Anyone had ever such a problem?

  • I've had some headphones 'give up' when playing around with bass-heavy music, they worked fine in the beginning but after a while they start to sound like there are loose parts bouncing/rattling around inside the headphones. Another pair of headphones the membranes loosened up and started to wobble until fully breaking. The bass-boost knob on the old MC-303 was a pretty 'sure' way to 'destroy' cheap headphones like Koss Porta Pro's (they simply break when using max-volume and full bass-boost and play some of the sub-bass patches).

    I've not had this type of problem(Yet?) with more expensive headphones like AKG-K701, Sennheriser HD595, ATH-M50x to name a few pairs.

    When feeding the headphones with frequencies that are on the extremes of what they are capable of reproducing they might break, that's only logical as there are no hi or lo-cut filters built-in to protect the membranes. Same goes for input level...

    I can only imagine what would happen if I was to connect a pair of headphones to say a microbrute and mess around with low frequencies at high volumes, it would be 'brain-massage' and after a while the cones would shoot me in the ear...

    Thank's..... Yep, it could be the membrane i think. With low volume it is O.K.
    Everything made in china crap today..... Aaaaarrrg!

  • I have Sony 7506s and they were rattling with a lot of bass, which is a problem since I'm a bassist. I took the ear pads off to change them and discovered that the speaker is screwed in and the screws were loose. (The headphone screws, not mine!) I tightened them and they've been great ever since. Maybe yours have a similar issue.

    I thought about it already but it seems not the case. A while ago my cat puked into it... yeah exact into the headphone!! That was a nice surprise. She doesn´t like my tech toys. But that was some weeks ago.
    There is just a lack of quality with all things today.....

    Well, there we have it, it's the dried up cat-poo that is making the extra noises ;)

  • I have to admit, that's something I've never heard before. And definitely info that could have helped in a diagnosis. Cat puke is not known to be beneficial to electronic devices...

    It is a nice juicy sound and i will try to record it next time. A bit slowed down i could imagine it sounds like a vulcano break out under water... :)
    Lol, since i make music i see the world a bit different.

  • Yeah, feline stomach acid would be an efficient way of killing electronics....

    I had an SM57 destroyed by cat urine.
    Those creatures can be caustic from either end.
