Have I screwed up?

[CRC]

Hello, everyone. I hope this thread is in the right board. Sorry for my poor English.
Yesterday I got my first decent audio equipment: a Mojo 2 and a Meze 109 pro. I was so eager to try them out that I didn't read the Mojo instruction manual thoroughly, so I didn't know what the colours meant. I connected the DAC to my computer, plugged in the headphones, played a song and... BAM! The volume was at full blast. I almost threw the headphones against the wall in shock. I think my ears are fine, luckily. My question is whether the headphones are also fine. I'd say I exposed them to that torture for a maximum of 10 seconds. Do you think they could have been damaged?
Thank you for your help.

I expect you are fine, let you ears tell you and reasonably turn up the volume and play loud. Start out with 0 volume and turn it up slow, tuen it up to your normal loud volume and a bit more, speaker headphone damage often does not show till higher volumes. If there is damage you will hear it, it won't sound like distortion, damage will show in a very non musical way, crazy buzzing on the high end, farting flapping sounds on the low end.

Trust me, you will know if the drivers are damaged. It will sound very strange. Use the same source when this happened so we are sure to cover the musical spectrum that may have damaged the drivers, some other source my have very little content in the damaged driver frequency and it may not be audible. The source contains the frequencies that may have damaged the drivers thus is good to reproduce those frequencies that may have over driven them.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
I just did what you told me (the song was Don't Fear the Reaper, by the way). I turned it up quite high (not as high as the first time, once was enough for me, ha ha ha), and to be honest, I didn't notice anything strange (although I'm no expert). Although when what I mentioned earlier happened, when the volume was at maximum, for the short time that the volume lasted, it sounded choppy, but I suppose that's normal. But I'm glad to know that the headphones, and above all my hearing, are fine.
Thank you again for your help.

No problem, blown drivers are normally obvious. They will be plain as day at higher volumes, if you hear maybe, maybe not at high volume they are likely fine, if you didn't want to toss them at the wall you are fine.

If you did minor damage which I doubt, it will get gradually worse, next 10 CDs or whatever, listen at your normal loud volume, if you don't hear thing start to fart flap or buzz you are fine. Driver damage is normally all or nothing. You would have just heard it again almost always in your test you just did.
