GZ Do you have a very expensive set of headsets, if so there are some factors to consider Leaving your headset plugged in while turning your computer on and off generally should not cause damage to the headset. However, the popping sound you hear can be a concern. This noise is typically caused by a surge of electrical power when the computer's audio hardware initializes during startup or shutdown. While occasional pops are usually not harmful, repeated exposure to these electrical surges could potentially lead to long-term damage to the headset's speakers or circuitry. Here are a few steps you can take to minimize this risk: Use a different port: Try plugging your headset into a different audio port on your computer, such as the back panel instead of the front panel, or vice versa. External audio interface: Consider using an external USB audio interface or a sound card that might provide better power management and protection for your headset. Turn down the volume: Lower the volume on your computer before shutting it down or turning it on. This can help reduce the intensity of any popping sounds.
