How well does it clean a snake oil spill? Asking for a friend.

Ok guys, you convinced me... I run to cancel the order for the Cayin RU7, add 30 dollars and take this.

Does it even have enough suction power to clean CIEMs that use some form of mesh at the sound bore? These IEMs tend to be generally harder to clean. At times you'd have to be able suck small debris through the mesh since it can sometimes end up behind it.

Also the price is way too high, something like $150 would be more appropriate and acceptable.

I can confirm that their plugged in version of their IEM Vac doesn't help with meshed CIEMs. You can use the plastic tip to vacuum the mesh surface, but any debris or fluid that gets through the mesh won't be helped by this.

It is effective when used on IEMs with a mesh screen. You just have to make sure to vacuum them often enough to not allow any wax to get beneath the screen otherwise the screen will need to be replaced.

You can always clean your ears with the vacuum I suppose.

plz don't haha

Could be great for musicians using CIEMs on the go. I've personally been looking for an IEM vacuum and I really dig the simplicity here.

Thank you. It definitely is great to use on the go. The idea was to make something that requires less of a setup commitment to quickly clean your ears after use. It has comparable suction power to much larger solutions, made with high quality materials and super easy to use.

What can this do that the Jodi-Vac can't that justifies my paying 180 USD more for your product?

This has a higher suction power than that unit, more comparable to their Pro unit which is much more similar in price to VAC Pro. VAC Pro is also made with quality parts and not plastic. VAC Pro is cordless so you don't need to plug it into the wall or use a hose+syringe, and very simple to use and replace filters.

correct, if wax gets behind the screen you won't be able to clean it with a vacuum. You would need to send them in for a mesh replacement. But as a more consistent cleaning solution for people who require it, VAC Pro can clean the large bore and mesh screen if clean early and often enough.

The price is a joke, honestly. For that amount, you can get a good Dyson VC.

we tried a Dyson, but it just sucked too much

 

[64Audio]

Neat idea, if you have a large iem collection.

I don't.

you're absolutely right. Even in the case of a large IEM collection, most people do fairly well with the supplied cleaning pick/brush and a good wipe down. This is made for those folks who really need a more thorough cleaning solution.

hard to measure, not sure

I own the "plug in the wall" vac and it is a worthwhile 'every once a while' task. For that frequency a more expensive cordless version is unnecessary. Perhaps those who travel between locations might value a cordless vac (however one more thing to charge?). A brush or cloth is fine for surface cleaning but not the same thing, only the vac can go far into IEM nozzles. Actually more useful with non 64 models than my 64 custom - TIA driver has a natural guard

we released this in retaliation to Dyson releasing headphones. they stepped on our turf and now we're stepping on theirs.
