Pros: rubber tips are bright white again
Cons: some loss in the midrange

I'm glad they still work. You might want to try changing the filters to see if that restores the midrange.

Yeah, and sealing them in a container with a desiccant (like the little packets that come in pill bottles and tennis shoe boxes) should help suck any remaining moisture out of them. Long live balanced armatures!

Thats cool! Try some silica gel in an airtight container.... or ziplock bag?

Seriously though, could heat exposure have any effect on the sound? I can't really tell if I'm just being paranoid.

That's hard to know, and I would venture a guess that Etymotic Research overlooked the effects of rinse and spin cycles on audio reproduction

.

What I would definitely recommend is leaving them [size=x-large]OFF[/size] until they're completely dry. Of course the tips and filters should be removed during the dehydration process.

With or without fabric softener?

Will there be a full review of this 'laundry mod'?

 

[BushGuy]

Hasn't he said he uses fabric softener in order to reduce microphonics ?

Beautiful! Next run em through the dryer (set at high) for 50 minutes!!! that'll bring the mids forward!

I thought you just changed the tips now and then !!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure they say dry clean only on the label and use a cool iron !!!!!!!!!!!!
