    HP-3 had a bad case of squeaky hinges after I got them back and I've been ignoring it because if I bollix them that's game over, but then it irritated me enough to dismantle the silly thing. Hinges were starting to rust over!

    I'm pretty thankful none of my headphones seem to have the squeaky hinge problem, although how much it would bother me....I have no idea!

    It's only ever really been noticeable when I move my head around while listening to music, but given the stuff on my playlists lately that's... kinda often lol.

    Sigh, cons of living in a tropical climate I guess?

    You can buy silicone grease. I have a small pot of it, which may possibly last a lifetime. Also have silicone-lubricant spray: that's great too, for larger surfaces. And larger hinges.

    Haha yes I certainly can, just glad I had an unexpected reserve of the stuff for when I randomly got really irritated by the squeaking.

    Given it's the runnier sort of grease I fully expect to have to redo it, so I plan to order "better" silgrease for when the need arises soon as I'm able.

    just remember - silicone grease isn't made for skin.

    You mean I can't get nice, glossy skin with it? :P

    Kidding, yep, took all necessary precautions cuz I don't often mess with pricey headphones haha.
