If using headphones for mixing your own music, you will inevitably be dealing with music that has not yet been mastered.
Music in this state can contain aggressive high frequencies, clipping and/or distortion. Would reproducing these sounds cause damage to the voice coil and/or drivers of headphones?
I know this is how speakers can blow, so it could do the same thing for headphones? Or does it depend on what headphones you're using? E.g. a 'hifi' headphone like a Sennheiser HD650 or an AKG K701 may not be built to cope with these production artifacts, whereas a 'pro' headphone like an Audio Technica M50, or an AKG K702 may be tough enough to handle them without being damaged?
