Audio Accessories
How to choose audio accessories
Material and use
Choose Headphone & Headset Accessories in leather for a gift, or plastic for daily rough use.
Colour match
Match Speaker Accessories colour, black, silver or red, to your current gear.
Powered or passive
Weigh passive Audio slipmats against Electronics amplifier kits that need power.
Weight tradeoff
Material matters: metal feels firm but weighs more than plastic/metal blends.
Fit check
Check mic diameter, as windshields here fit sizes like 21 to 26 mm.
What's good
- Headphone & Headset Accessories in leather or silicone keep cables tidy and protect earpieces.
- Speaker Accessories such as windshields capture cleaner voice by softening plosives.
- Audio items like turntable slipmats offer a colour match, with black, red, gold or pink available.
- Electronics sub-type holds masthead amplifier kits that lift antenna signal without new cabling.
Things to watch
- Leather cord wraps need occasional balm, unlike plastic ones that need no care.
- Metal windshields add heft to a mic and can unbalance a lightweight stand.
- Acrylic slipmats look bright but may slip more than rubber versions.
- Amplifier kits in Electronics require a power supply, so factor in a spare socket.
Care & maintenance
Wipe soft parts
Dust silicone and rubber parts with a damp cloth weekly.
Care for leather
Condition leather organizers with a neutral balm every few months.
Store slipmats
Lay turntable slipmats flat to avoid warping in storage.
Protect metal
Dry metal or silver pieces after use to slow tarnish.
