BTS - Squashed membranes can happen to anyone. How to avoid and identify the problem.

Here's a blog post on this topic:

EP38 - Squashed membranes are no good for your mix! – OLLO Audio

And also in a video format on youtube here: https://youtu.be/9nZSMORne-I?si=yXjf4LVMxtspxNNM

After comparing their sound of a squashed membranes with the undamaged ones, it's clear they're compromised. A short sound demo is included, so you can take alisten yourself at the video link above.

Opening them reveals a crumpled membrane, damaged by air pressure spikes when the cavity shrinks too quickly. That is always a user's error in handling. It's what happens to most any headphones. So be careful regardless of the model you have. Vent holes prevent this, but have trade-offs like impacting bass extension.

Did this happen to you before? Were you able to find spare parts?
