Exactly what the title says. No this is not a troll post. There was some hardstuck water in my Holas which sunlight couldn’t remove.
While I knew that my Holas have a N52 magnet inside them and that this could go horribly wrong because of the Faraday’s cage, I thought just 2-3 seconds of microwaving wouldn’t do anything. Also had this exact thought running in my mind “bad things don’t happen to me” right before putting them inside. I was in semi-denial.
The driver tore off in a somewhat audible boom and now the right one doesn’t work. The cable is fine because I didn’t put it in the microwave, but the washing machine destroyed the mic last month and now it responds in flat noise.
Luckily they were worth only $20 but I’m still a student so it was somewhat major of a loss. In need of advice if recovery is possible.
TL;DR: Don’t microwave your IEMs.
I actually had my Simgot EW200 fucked by soapy water (my dumbass washed the eartip, then didn’t realize the inside was still wet with soapy water)
So I submerged the entire iem in distilled water for 20 seconds, took it out and shaked it to remove excess water, then placed it in a sealed box with two moisture absorbers (Calcium Chloride).
Next morning it was fully dried up, and the iem sounded good as new.
