Neck exercises for headset?

Quartz · 15 Jan 2021 at 12:56

My 363g Astro A50 headset has been causing me discomfort in my neck if I wear it for too long. What with self-isolation then lockdown that's been extended times, like most of the day for some weeks. Obviously I've stopped using it for now - I'm just using the monitor speakers which are poor by comparison. So what exercises can I do to strengthen my neck muscles to prevent a recurrence?

I live in a flat so switching to proper speakers is not an option. And going forward I will be limiting my headset time.

I've had that headset for years now, I used to do 10 hour stints on night shifts at one point with a few 10 mins breaks, never had a problem.

I may have slept in the wrong position and the headset exacerbated the problem. I've had the A50 some years and never had a problem up to now.

I fear lockdown has given you muscle atrophy,

It's quite possible.
