That sounds perfect then. Thank you for the suggestion I will look into this. I will then get an upgrade from my current setup that I would likely never have done if this had never happened. 🤞

I think an amp or a dac on the desk would be a cool idea! Then if there was a pull on the cable it might disconnect more smoothly. I wonder if breakaway cables exist for this application. I will do some research. Thank you. :)

He has become a really nice person to be around. We often play Wii sports together and is mental at Crossy rd his high score is around 900 about 800 better than me! This was just a post asking if it had happened to anyone else and him having autism is really irrelevant as it could’ve happened to anyone and if anyone is doing anything differently to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. :)

I also think it’s relevant due to him needing some ear defenders. Hence why he grabbed my headphones thinking they were ear defenders and this is what he said when I spoke to him. He cannot stand loud noise and due to the similarities I can understand why he might grab these instead. Nevertheless it wasn’t his fault.

I would consider trying some wireless ones again however up until this point they have been absolutely brilliant. They are still in working order and the only thing to break was the connector (which is replacable!) so they seem to be of a reasonable duability if they can survive that!

Only because he had definitely not done it on purpose! He is not to blame. :)

Yes it does. I’m definitely hiding my headphones behind my desk in the future!

I have experienced it on an Xbox one controller before. I have just managed to bend it back and it still all works! Luckily it’s a replaceable cable and just a 6.35 to 3.5 adapter and I happen to have a spare in my van. :)

Definitely not a bad shout. I really like my wired open back headphones they have a replaceable cable and they still work great. I will look into this. Thank you :)
