Hi, I'm a beginner here. Got a m50xbt as my first good pair of headphones as a birthday present.

I immediately wear the headphone without stretching them first, and after a week it starts to loosen up. A friend frowned upon it as according to him, I could make the headband more prone to breaking.

Is stretching the headband a compulsory thing to do for a new pair?

Also, is it safe to hang my headphones with a hook?

Hi. No, you don't have to stretch handbands unless you are uncomfortable. There are many kinds of headbands and a variety of materials. In general it is fine to hang them by a hook. Just add some foam or cloth if the hook might make a mark on your headband material.

Thanks for the reply! That took my worry off me!

Yeah most decent gear is expected to take some amount of use and even a little abuse. Don't worry, be happy
