The headphone quality expansion life tester is a critical tool for evaluating the durability and longevity of headphones. This tester simulates the repeated expansion and contraction that headphones undergo during regular use, particularly focusing on the headband and ear cups. By subjecting the headphones to thousands of expansion cycles, the tester can identify weak points in the design and materials that might lead to premature failure. This process ensures that the headphones can withstand the rigors of daily use without losing their structural integrity.
