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.
Lol jfc mate they sell hearing aid (or iem) driers/dehumidifiers
At least the hola is one of the lowest priced iems I've ever seen.
Hope ya learned a lesson there lol, thanks for sharing
Whats your major lol, hope its not a STEM degree :P
just kidding, we all make stupid decisions. I dropped a $4000 iem..astell and Kern tried to charge me $1900 to fix one earbud ๐ญ๐ญ
Long story short i was high and dancing as i went to go take a piss (on a tile floor before i knew how easy it is to crack resin shells) and ripped opened the door which caught the cable and ripped it out of my ear lol.
Most expensive drop I've had and they literally sent it back to me glued shottily after the RMA/$1000 repair Still fighting that and sending it back again soon.
F
It could be worse m8
