Default Warning: Always wash your sheets before first use!

I didn't and I ended up with all these strange rough slightly orange scaly patches all over my face and hives on my neck

So make sure you wash your newly bought sheets and pillow cases before you use them!

That is all.

Does this apply to headphones too?

Can I mix Sennheisers and Grados in the same cycle?

Hmmm, yeah, could be chemical leftovers and such maybe? I always wash mine before using it for the first time.

Never mix coloreds with whites, or similarly, darks with brights.

Oops, that came out wrong.

Haha, that would be cool if you could blend some of the sound qualities of both together into one headphone

Well its mostly gone now. Only a few patches and itchy bumps on my neck. I went to the doctor and he gave me some steroids cream, which I thought would make my face all muscly but it doesn't seem to be doing that

Lol! Be very careful with chewing gum. You could end up with jaw muscles like a pitbull terrier
Just kidding of course...
