A microfiber cloth probably isn't the best idea, it can trap and release dust. You're better off just buying the stax headphone cover. It's like 20 bucks and keeps your headphones nice and dust free without being too inconvenient

Yeah apparently that’s why their good at dusting. Oh well the cover seems like the best idea, though I’d be hanging them so I wonder how that’ll work

I just keep mine in a cardboard box 🤷🏻‍♂️

The ESP95X is sensitive to dust, Stax are not. Draping any sort of plastic covering over the headphones when not in use should be plenty, but often the ESP95X/ESP950 come with dust in the driver from the factory and it'll eventually shift into a position where it causes squealing. In that case, giving them a hard tap can dislodge the dust, and hopefully it'll settle in a place where it isn't causing noise.

That being said, electrostatic headphones are most sensitive to dust when in use, the fields created attract it, so *shrug*, Koss should really be more careful when assembling them, and fully seal their drivers.

If you want to use an air purifier to get rid of dust, you're going to be looking at something large and intended for medical or scientific purposes I think, no HEPA filter I've ever tried has done anything noticeable to the amount of dust in this house.

Yeah I was worried that a small air purifier would not have much effect either. I have a small apartment room less than 130 sq ft so it was worth a shot. That said, seems like a lot of people used ziploc bags and that works. Thank you!

> or get an air purifier to get rid of the dust in my room

It won't. It will trap some dust, but you'll still have a lot of dust around.

If that’s the case, I guess dusting with a microfiber cloth and vacuuming frequently is my choice. I already do it often but I just don’t want to take any chances
