Hey everybody, today I think I did a dumb thing with my Arya Stealth: I saw on the exterior of the left pad a piece of dirt (between the exterior metal grills and the foam that protects the driver) and I tried to pick it up with a pair of tweezers, but I didn’t take in account the “magnet” part of the driver, so the tweezers were attracted to the driver and made contact, even if softly.

I know planar magnetic drivers are fragile but I’m not an expert and so I’m asking you if there’s a change that I damaged the driver.. I can’t hear a difference in sound but I’m a bit worried.

Btw, the headphones weren’t connected to any source while doing this.

The place where the tweezers got attracted from is the one I highlighted in the picture, they made contact but I clearly didn’t push or anything, I then just pulled it off; is that middle part particularly fragile?

it probably just connected to the magnet instead of the planar membrane itself. happened to my he-1000 stralth a couple of times so i wouldnt worry.
