My Sennheiser IE600's survived the washing machine for 20 minutes (alien.top)

I was completely hopeless, thinking this it. Lo & behold, the sound was miraculously completely normal, as if it had never been near any water to begin with. However, I am still very worried about internal corrosion that could bite my ass in the future. Is there anything I should be particularly attentive to?

Yikes! And this is why I went with the IE 200s over the 600s. Im the guy that would lose or destroy these tiny things.

Honestly, except for detail retrieval they sound awfully close to my ears. And it's rare I'm doing critical listening on IEMs. For balance with that "Sennheiser Sound " I also have the Letshuoer S12 Pro IEM. A great set of planar BTW. Those beat the IE 200 for clarity and detail--by A LOT--but lack that dynamic driver warmth. I switch back and forth.

That said, I would make certain you dried them out completely! I hope someone who knows how to do so properly can guide you.
