How to Keep Your Earbuds from Cracking

Now that you know why earbuds are so easily broken, Let's look at methods to keep them from breaking in the first place. The following are some possible steps you could take:

1. Invest in a high-quality earbud cover

One of the most frequent causes of earbuds breaking is improper storage; therefore, purchasing an earbud holder will greatly reduce the risk. Not only that, but this practice will keep your earbuds clean and looking newer for a longer period.

Putting your earbuds in a case before placing them in your backpack or pockets keeps them from getting tangled up with other items like keys or phones. Getting a holder will also prevent you from wrapping wired earphones around your phone, hands, or player.

Furthermore, when storing your earbuds in their case, make sure to tie them loosely and prevent using a lot of power.

If you can't afford a case right now, you can protect your earbuds by carefully winding them and tying them with a cable tie or a rubber band.

2. Avoid Resting With Earphones

As previously stated, sleeping with your earbuds exposes them to many unconscious motions that you may make while sleeping. As a result, remove them before going to bed to prolong their life.

3. Purchase High-Quality Earbuds from a Reliable Supplier

Although they may be more expensive, you will be able to use them for an extended period and save money on replacement costs. However, not all high-priced earphones are of good quality.

If you're purchasing earbuds online, you should inspect them to ensure they're of high quality.

4. Carefully connect and unplug your earbuds

To keep your earbuds from stretching, make sure you connect and unplug them carefully. You could accomplish this by tugging on the plug rather than the connector.

It would also help if you were careful when removing them from your ears and avoided pulling on the cable too forcefully. You could be more gentle by slowly pulling on the earpiece instead.

Conclusion

Finally, your earbuds may break if you are rough or careless when using them if you store them improperly, or if the manufacturer uses low-quality materials to create them.

While most earbuds are fragile, you can take additional precautions to ensure that they last longer.
