Accessory, Spare Part and Hygiene Kit

With our ears in constant need of cleaning, we need to use headsets that are made up of components whose parts are interchangeable. For example, the headphone cushion or the microphone sponge. But there are also parts of these devices that can break down and need to be replaced. For example, the connecting cable that might break at the connector or the rechargeable battery.

What functions does the Accessory, Spare Part and Hygiene Kit?

The connecting cable connects the headset to your mobile phone or computer to make work or play a breeze. And the rechargeable battery ensures uninterrupted operation. And the microphone sponge ensures that you always have the clarity and intelligibility you need to communicate. And the hygiene pad adds to our comfort. There's nothing more uncomfortable than having to wear an earpiece that squeezes your ears all day.

What materials are these Accessory, Spare Part and Hygiene Kit made of?

Most headphones connect to your computer via a cable, while some have a wireless Bluetooth or USB interface. It is therefore essential to always have the right cable and rechargeable battery at hand. To ensure this, choose a NiMh rechargeable battery with a hard PVC cover. And for the connection cable, make sure you buy a flexible but strong outer sheath that will protect it over the long term. But perhaps, more importantly, make sure that the connector is made from quality materials. Is it made of copper, perhaps plated with precious metal.

What materials is the hygiene kit made of and is it suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies?

In any case, choose a hygiene pad or microphone sponge that is soft, light and pleasant to the touch, but also provides increased hygiene. The microphone sponge and the inside of the ear cushion are made of flexible polyurethane foam. Thanks to the material, its structure also guarantees water resistance. Naturally, the material used for these devices is designed to relieve pressure on the ears. And the outer part of the ear cushion is made of a material that is easy to clean and repels moisture.

Because the combination of these materials reacts to body temperature, it changes shape under pressure to adapt to the contours of your ears and head. In turn, the sponge allows moisture to evaporate, preventing the skin around the hygiene pillow from sweating. Of course, the manufacturers have made sure that they only use materials that are safe for people with sensitive skin or allergies. The hygiene kit is made of artificial materials that micro-organisms do not like and therefore do not colonise or multiply in them.

How to properly store the accessory or component to preserve its condition?

Accessories and parts for headsets and earphones should always be stored in a dry, cool place. Only then will they remain in excellent condition.

How to clean or maintain headset accessories and parts?

There are some parts, such as the microphone sponge, that we recommend replacing when they are worn or show signs of wear. But the cushion around your ear, for example, should be wiped with a damp cloth from time to time, or cleaned with a cleaning cloth soaked in a detergent that won't damage its surface. For connecting cables, the connectors should be cleaned with a dry cloth.
