4) Should i do anything special so they won't get damaged? And have a longer life time?

Heya,
1. Are you serious? High decibels will damage your hearing over time. Doesn't matter if it came from open headphones, closed headphones, speakers, sirens as you pass on the road, an MRI machine, etc.
2. The only thing that will damage your headphones will be physical crushing of them.
3. You put them on your head and listen to them. Burn in is largely psychological, if you don't believe that, then ask for irrefutable measured proof.
4. Don't sit on them. Clean the pads now and then. Don't roll over the cord with a chair wheel or let cats chew on the cords.
Also, remember, they're just a headphone. And you may or may not actually like them for everything. Get ready for your next purchase in 6 days. 
Very best,
