What to do once you’re finished listening

So I have been struggling with this dilemma ever since I bought my new Focal’s last year.

I have a nice proper headphone hook on the side of my audio rack to conveniently hang the phones when not in use. This makes it easy to grab them when I want them, plus I get to enjoy the look of them hanging there. But what about the dust??

Then there is the option of storing them in their protective case but this involves unplugging and plugging the cord into the jacks over and over. I would also need to readjust the ratcheted positioning of the cups to the headband every time. And of course curling up the cable tightly enough to fit into the space in the case.

What is worse? The dust or all the potential mechanical wear and tear 

What do you all prefer?
