Hey, I've never posted here before but I was wondering what people who probably know a lot more about headphones than i do thought about this. I have the Sennheiser HD 600's and I recently spilled a little water onto the pad and a little into the cup, it was probably about around an ounce of water, maybe a bit less. Like I said, a lot of it ended up getting on the outer pad. This happened maybe 3-4 days ago, I have not since plugged them into anything and they have been sitting on my dresser. I've seen suggestions of putting them in a bag of rice, putting them in a toaster oven and leaving them in the sun for a couple days.

It should be fine to use by now, however, if you're really worried, you can use some sort of moisture absorbent, like silica gel.

Could've spilled water onto another cup just for the purpose of symmetry.

I think they will be just fine if most of the water hit the pads and not the driver and then that isn’t a big problem as it was not submerged. Would not put them in rice or a toaster oven. If it is been several days you should be good to go . Have the pads dried out?

Sorry about the late reply. I've been travelling, yes the pads appear to be completely dry at this point and it's been about a week since the incident.

After a week, it should be fine. The water should have dried. If you're out of warranty, it might be worth disassembling them. But, honestly, I probably wouldn't unless you want to make completely sure

Thanks for replying everyone, I decided to test them today and they sound just fine. Thankfully I didn't break them as I'm almost certain they were out of warranty.
