To maintain the device, keep the earpads free of debris by wiping them down with a slightly damp microfiber cloth after intense use. When not in use, ensure the cable is stored without sharp bends to preserve internal wiring. If you plan on moving, detach the microphone and store it in a protective case to prevent bending or damage to the connector port.
