Then I tried the same when someone suggested johnsons baby shampoo. Also works. Cooled much better than watercooler..by far. |

She decided that she would do whatever she could that would hurt me the most, so she picked up my ATH-A900s (which I bought maybe a month ago) and put them in the sink and filled up them up with water. This was more than marginally distressing. I managed to rip them out of her hands after a couple of seconds, but I feared the worst. Electrical equipment plus water is never a good equation. It turns out, miraculously, that they still work. Not only do they work, I think they might sound better. Now, that could simply be a psychological reaction to being so close to losing them, but maybe this warrants further testing. Burn in is a thing of the past. Flood in your headphones!! |
