Tech Tips & Tricks

Quality headphones aren’t cheap—so keeping them in top shape is crucial. At Hicle, we believe that the right care and accessories can extend the life of your gear by years.

Start with cable management. Most damage happens from pulling, tangling, or bending wires. Use braided aux cables, which are more durable, and invest in magnetic cable clips to keep cords untangled. Store earbuds in a case—not your pocket!

Next, clean your headphones weekly. Use a soft cloth for the ear cups and a dry toothbrush for mesh grilles. For in-ears, remove and wash the silicone tips. Avoid moisture and always unplug before cleaning.

If your headphones are wireless, be gentle with charging. Use the original cable or certified third-party ones from Hicle to prevent overheating. Overcharging reduces battery life, so unplug once full.

Don’t forget adapters! If your phone lacks a headphone jack, a high-quality USB-C to 3.5mm adapter ensures sound isn’t compromised. Avoid cheap dongles—they can damage both audio and phone ports.

Bonus: Add a Bluetooth receiver to convert wired headphones into wireless, ideal for travel.
