This may trigger a big discussion but, wanted to know if it is safe to repeatedly connect and disconnect the jacks from the headphones i mean like once or twice a day? I use it and then store it in the box again for which i have to remove the cables. Anyone know for how many revovals and attachments the jacks and ports are rated?

I'm curious why you want to store them in the box every day. Why not just put them on a headphone stand...

Critters prone to vandalism in the house? I’ve seen reports of evil cats with deadly claws and dogs who will chew on anything smaller than a car.

Or he's taking them to/from work?

Nah, it's just as a precaution. Mom calls me butterfingers, i tend to knock over and drop stuff, this is an insurance. Also protection from dust and stuff, a house is being constructed next to mine now.

You could always get a case that allows them to be stored with the cable attached. Amazon has some extra-large ones (I got one for my HD-8XX's that would do the trick.

I have a MUCH easier solution for you (please ignore, ironically, the disconnected cables in this picture; I just packed these headphones to go, and unpacked them to take these pictures for you):

(1) Use a a good headphone stand that will keep your headphones well protected
(no "butterfingers" will topple it off this one -- my favourite boutique for head stands out of Ukraine: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Borykworkshop?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1116017459)

(2) Use a stax cover to protect against dust
(I use this one with most of my headphones. Maybe overkill, but gives me a great peace of mind -- https://www.headamp.com/products/stax-cpc-1)

Voilà!

This is a great way to protect our headphones. I don't often use them for electrodynamic headphones. But all my orthos and estats are with vinyl covers -- I have to confess only uber and expensive (or rare/unobtanium) ones are with cpc-1.. For cheaper headphones I'm recycling generic vinyl bags achieved from various grocery stores lol.

Never really thought of dust as a major issue but totally can be. Thanks! Got these dust covers
