What 'headphone hygiene' do you practice? (alien.top)

Got my hair cut today and therefore decided not to put my LCD-X on out of fear some little bit of hair somehow makes its way onto the planar drivers, and it got me thinking about what sorts of 'precautions' we have to take over much cheaper and more robust consumer grade headphones, but I do other things like:

When putting them into the pelican case, the 6.5mm jack goes in first so I dont end up stabbing the drivers (I've seen some horrific posts on this sub)

Plugging them into (or removing from) the amp only when it's off

Putting them on *very* gently

Am I paranoid?

I do the amp thing the opposite way, the Aune X1s GT sends a square wave when you turn it off. So I first unplug my headphones from it or turn off my active speaker before I turn the Aune off. Im probably gonna keep doing that even after I move on from the Aune
