that's just tragic, microwaves company need to start putting "don't put IEM into the microwave" on their microwaves

Put it in some rice for a few days and then throw it all in the garbage if that doesnt work

Seriously?! I never thought the phrase "Have you ever tried to put in rice overnight?" Would be wayyy better solution than this.

Easy fix OP, build a time machine and go back just enough to stop yourself. Also be a dear and get us lotto numbers?

Use your brain homie lol

Truly galaxy brain; US military spends millions on developing rail gun weapons, OP successfully did it for $20

Put it in rice next time. Or a jar full of silica gel packets.

Did you try jizzing them after cooking?

I heard it brings them back to life.

Please also do not dry off your kitten or dog in the microwave. I feel like you might be one of those people that the sticker had to be designed for.

Frequency Range: 20Hz - 2450 MHz

if recovery is possible

What do you think.

The technical term for this kind of damage is permafucked.

What?

My brother in Christ what were you thinking

Seriosu question. Do they sound warmer?

My friend, you just recreated an MRI machine + magnet scenario and are asking if your earbuds can be recovered? Why did you skip trying to dry them with silica gel packets or a hairdryer on low setting and go straight for a radioactive box?

The microwave would not have even done anything about the water, that makes no sense. If you've seen any movie/tv show you should know the easiest/cheapest solution for wet electronics is to bury them in a bowl of rice overnight. Silica gel beads even better but not usually on hand in the average household.

Bro, wtf?

That was certainly something, I forgot my IEMs(also Truthear hola funnily enough) were in my pockets and I put my shirt into the washing machine a month ago, was momentarily broken but the easy fix was just to use a hair dryer and it worked again like normal to this day.

It's a bit pricey lesson and I can sympathize, but try a hair dryer next time if there's water again lol

certainly something I would do and most definitely something I would say

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.

bro, why didn't you use isopropyl alcohol?

You should have pricked them with a fork first

Next one you should try rice first.

Are you actually restarted

Should have tried the oven, perhaps hot air would have worked better than electromagnetic radiation. In all seriousness, i’ve baked some defec ram memory before and it came back to life so I appreciate your boldness.

Put it in an MRI next that will undo the damage.

Have you heard of rice? Remember rice for next time please.

I’m sorry and just know this is coming from a genuinely concerned spot in my heart, how are you this stupid?

lol

The government needs to give you a free lifetime public transport card because there is no way having you behind the wheel of a car is safe

My last two braincells started fighting each other to be the third one after reading this...

Try running them over with your car

I feel dumber after reading this post

I want you to dwell on how much that $20 is worth to you as a college student.

Now think on all this shit you did to these poor IEM’s.

Be better.

congrats this is the dumbest thing ive read in months

lol

At least you provided us with entertainment and got internet points

You don't need sunlight, just leave that iem alone for few days.
Make the process faster using silica gel, or just put in warm place like inside PC case.
Water evaporates.

For me it depends on what kind of water that got into iem, one time I just double down and clean it again with alcohol.

Wut

Do they stills work? Great.

Do they not work? Nothing you can fix.

You're the first person that made an IEM explode.

you can fix it by buying new ones and actually taking care of them

Hope you’re not an engineering student.

Sorry for your loss, they sound really dead. 2-3 seconds isn’t enough to do anything with the water but easily enough to blow a circuit or EM coil.

Oh boy….

How are you still alive?

A friendly reminder as to why there’s birdbrained warning labels on products & goods.

Do you even know what a microwave does? You would’ve had a better chance putting them in the dryer LMFAO

you don’t deserve iems.
