Let's say suppose you live in an area where it gets hot and humid. Does humidity affect headphones in a bad way?

It definately affects electrostatics, making them slightly flabby sounding compared to normal, but I haven't noticed much if any difference with dynamics.

my foamies expand much quicker in the heat

i guess thats a positive

Humidity and heat are never good for electronics, in the long run.

Well I live in hot and humid florida, today it is 97 with 50% humidity

My Grado's are about a year old now with no problems, My Sens about 4 months old no problems. Then again I don't use them out doors, and I have central air conditioning (have to in Florida)

I have Ultrasone HFI 650. On the box it says to keep out of humidity. I wonder if there is a kind of dehumidifier on the market just in case if it is an issue.

Cheapest solution would probably be Damp Rid
