I acidentally played music on my iem at 90 dbs for about 5 minutes, will that cause any damage to the drivers?

It’s the 7th acoustics supernova and I was using apple dongle. Left it on the table when that happened.

Wonder how you have established this 90 dB.

Anyway, if this is the correct number the answer is no. Would have been a very shitty product if it can't cope with this modest level.

Simply play some music. If you don't hear a thing, yes you fried them, likewise if it is distorted.
