Ive bought 3 sets of cans 2nd hand, but IEMS? No chance, not unless they were boiled in super cleaning acid for 6 months first.

All of the gear I have right now are used, lol. I could consider buying used IEMs, depending on how much its being sold for >_> *tell me you wouldn't live with a used E500 if it was going for $150-200 :0*

 

[fureshi]

no problems buying used here either. i will usually take the headphone apart and soak in soapy water. the pads i will throw in the washer. i don't have problems buying iems either. just get new tips and clean the body really well.

I just completely scrub the things dowm, and use plenty of rubbing alcohol. You should have seen how clean my K340 got after I attacked it. Then I replaced the pads, and I am in the process of replacing the headband. Also, by modding the grill (see: removing it alltogether) I have only NEW parts touching my head.

P.S.: I don't like using other people's telephones, keyboards et cetera, either... *yuck*

Should be interesting to learn a few strategic questions you ask girls before going out....

Eucalyptus and tea tree oil to dab on the frame (avoiding the nomenclature), wash the pads...good as new. Smells like a koala, a bit organic but still sounds sweet (tip from GF).

Sniff test is as accurate as A/B ing headphones

Actually, I think the ladyfriend wouldn't like to see me asking out other girls that much, anyway...

Sorry but I had this kind of picture in mind reading your previous post:

Hm, I think as tips on IEMs are "consumable material", ergo you'd buy new ones at some point anyway, I don't think I'd have trouble with used IEMs. In fact they are small and have no pads that can get soggy & smelly from body oils, styling products... just replace the tips and carefully clean off the body with some disinfectant. I'd have more trouble with full size cans since the pads are more expensive to replace if at all, especially the leather ones.

 

[Purgatos]

I see nothing wrong with buying either headphones or IEMs used.

You can buy what we in the business call 'new tips' for the IEMs.

 

[F107plus5]

All things being equal, I'd RATHER buy new. But if what I'd wanted was out of production or sold here at a wildly unbeatable price, then I suppose buying from this forum would be the safest bet at that.

I bought some used E2c's and couldn't be happier. They arrived in perfect condition from the guy I bought them from, who had already cleaned everything, and then I just threw the whole lot (except the phones) in hydrogen peroxide anyway just to make sure everything was gone. Really, you don't have much to worry about, especially with the filter things these E2c's have.
