I have a pair of AT IM02 that I owned for a couple of years. Recently the acoustic damper foam material has been disintegrating quite seriously till the extent that I could not ignore any further; both sides do sound slightly different (due to uneven disintegration of both sides). My im02 has been remodded to mmcx with a local DIYer some time ago, thus, voided of any warranty rights (if I even can find my prove of purchase), so taking the iem to a service centre is not an option for me. I have read on other threads that AT does not sell this acoustic damper, and it could be proprietary to the company.
I was considering to dig the leftover foam out (before they disintegrate further and get into the iem housing) with a nozzle tool and replacing it with any other materials (cotton fluff, kitchen sponge). I have no knowledge on audio engineering and thus hope to seek advice from the community what will be the best material to DIY with. Thanks in advance!
