Well, I meant to ask what to do prior to me taking them apart, but curiosity got the best of me.  
 
First, was there anything I could have done to have fixed them?  You could here music, but there was absolutely no bass. 
 
Second, not that I have F'd them up, can I find the little speakers that go in them and replace them myself?
 
Thanks guys and gals.

To be honest, I don't think you should even consider repairing them. Might as well get a good set of inexpensive IEMs unless you can afford higher-end 'phones. I rather enjoy the Meelectronic M9 or M6, they aren't expensive at all and sound very good.

Ok, yea I rather do that.  I only bought them because I was not knowledgable on the fact that Dre's crap is overpriced.  I almost got the Studio knock offs in Iraq, but instead went with Phiaton MS400's thanks to this site! 
 
Anyway, I will def. check out the set you suggested.

I recently had a set of Bose In Ears and Apple ADDIEMS go through the washer and dryer. No damage at all and both function fine.

The Monsters probably sound better after the washing machine.

thanks for rubbing it in!

I'm pretty sure Monster has a no-questions-asked replacement warranty, don't they?  Or is this only with their Turbine line of IEMs?

LOL I was thinking the same thing

Breaking them is probably the best thing you ever did headphone-wise.

It's a sign for you to upgrade

I had a pretty similar experience with my Klipsch Image S4s; still made sound after the wash but absolutely no bass. As others have said, it's probably best for you to just upgrade

 

[jinx20001]

those beats only needed a bit of sparkle added for improvement, congratulations i bet they sound great now that bloated bass is no more.

yep, as others have said, why fix them, buried at sea is too good for them. but just in case someone else comes in looking to save their iems after washing them. first thing you did wrong was test them, they need to dry thoroughly before you pass current through them. funny thing is, an idea out of left field might have been to rinse them in distilled water to get rid of the chemical residue and dry thoroughly before trying them. it will depend on the construction whether this is a good idea, often paper or some other fibrous material is used in driver cones and they wouldnt cope. but yeah most important, let dry thoroughly for a week and if possible, dry them out in the sun, chances are they'll be fine.

-points at my post- doesn't Monster have a warranty?

 

[qusp]

they have a warranty that covers going through the washing machine and then dismantled?
