Just found my CX300's that I lost last week. I've been using them since my Audio technica CK7's broke, and I've gotta wait till christms till I get my Denon 751's.
Anyway, in the last few days, I had to resort to iBuds, and then my standard nokia N95 buds (which surprisingly weren't awful sounding, but uncomfortable and tacky).
Turns out the CX300's had gone in th wash with a hoodie, shows how much care I take of them. Before they went in, the right channel was about half the volume of the left one, they had a little wax and dirt on the nozzles, and the one comply tip was pretty dirty.
Now they've been for a swim, the volumes are back to normal(ish), the comply's clean, although it doesn't seal quite as well now, and the silicon tip on the other phone that always comes of managed to stay on, plus they look basically brand new now the wax and dirt has gone.
I was fully expecting them to be broken, but it seems the one with lower volume had a clogged up driver form 1 years + useage with moderately waxy ears, and the wash has cleaned it out.
The mids have come back too, I put the lack of them down to them being generally pretty crap phones, plus the fact they were old and knackered, so now I can hear guitar's and voices again
All round, I'm pretty impressed, it means I've got respectable headphones to use for the next 3 weeks before I get my Denon's.
Thanks for reading, I know I'm rambling a bit, but I thought it was at least interesting enough to be worthy of a post.
