Having got an ear infection from a pair of headphones, which I suspect moved down to my tooth, and resulted in a root canal, I agree with the that policy.
Ok, it might have been paranoia about the tooth, but it happened shortly after...
However, this was a Asda discounted pair, but it wasn't made clear they were returns and in effect second hand. It simply looked like the box had been damaged and perhaps they'd been discounted that way.
There is no way I'd buy a second hand or in any way used pair of headphones now...
