I'm about to order my first serious pair of headphones for music production. It's the AKG k712's. I would like to treat them as good as possible, and im wondering if you guys have some tips on how to keep new headphones fresh looking, fresh sounding.
A lot of people tell me to let them play for a couple of hours in order to receive proper sound for the rest of their lifetime. Should i do this, and how do i do it properly? What benefit does it grant me?
Also, aside from a possible DAC/amp, are there any must-have hardware/software i should get for my new phones?
Also, is it possible to keep clean earcups, when not made of leather? The ones i have now are really dirty, and i dont want hair wax and other kinds of dirt on them. Is it possible to get leather/fake leather cups or something similar for the k712's? Any other solutions are welcome too!
Thanks in advance and have a great day.
